From
dusk to midnight SAW Video is proud to present Satellite by Nelson Henricks as part of the National Arts Centre's Quebec Scene. Beyond his contribution to Quebec's artistic community through his writings and curatorial projects, Henricks, whose work in video has been recognized internationally, is a key figure in Quebec's video art scene. As a university instructor, he also plays an important role as mentor to emerging artists. In Henricks'
work, the interplay of images with words reveals a lucid personality
in search of transcendence. In his latest single channel videos (including
Satellite) this interplay is modulated by the artist's use of electronic
music where the poetic dialogue of elements articulates a new form of
technological lyricism. Satellite
will screen April 20-21 and May 3-4 2007 from dusk to midnight in SAW's
historic courtyard, 67 Nicholas Street, Ottawa. SATELLITE
(color video, 6 minutes, 2004) NELSON
HENRICKS Presented in partnership with the National Arts Centre's Quebec Scene www.scenequebec.com Canada Council / Consiel des Arts du Canada Ontario Arts CouncilCity of Ottawa De
la tombée du jour jusqu'à minuit SAW Video est fier de présenter Satellite de Nelson Henricks dans le cadre du festival Scène Québec du Centre National des Arts. En plus de contribuer à la communauté artistique par ses écrits et ses activités de commissariat, Henricks a réalisé une production vidéographique qui a marqué le paysage artistique québécois tout en rayonnant à travers le monde. Enseignant universitaire, Henricks joue également un rôle important sur la scène québécoise en tant que mentor pour les artistes émergents et ceux à venir.. Dans l'oeuvre
de Nelson Henricks, la poésie de l’image et du verbe fait
signe d’une personnalité lucide en quête de transcendance.
Dans ces derniers vidéogrammes (dont Satellite), cette poésie
est rythmée sur une musique électronique, articulant une
nouvelle forme de lyrisme technologique. Satellite
sera diffusée les 20-21 avril et 3-4 mai 2007, de la tombée
du jour à minuit. Dans la cour historique de SAW, 67 Nicholas
Street, Ottawa. SATELLITE
