Edward Folger studied physics at Columbia University in New York City but opted to become an artist rather than a scientist, after becoming depressed by Gödel's Incompleteness Theorem. He has worked as a writer/director, still photographer, cameraman, and editor; apprenticed in feature films with John Cassavettes, Alain Resnais, Milos Forman, and others; wrote and directed a film for PBS in the Canadian Arctic (1975); and discovered the Inuit to be most amazing people on earth. He moved to Baffin Island to teach and produce the earliest Inuktitut TV programming and used all his skills in the struggle for Inuit land claims and the establishment of the Nunavut Territory. He moved to Ottawa in 2004. Members

Fantastic Ballet of the Mind and Its Master” Following a group of severely autistic adults and teenagers, the film seeks to explore the extraordinary enigma of the autistic world.

March 20th to April 6th, 2008 at: Hooley’s,
292 Elgin Street Artists: Liz Garlicki (Winnipeg); Florian Hollerweger (Linz, Austria); Jillian McDonald (New York) Andra McCartney (Toronto); Linda Norstrom (Ottawa) and Don Sinclair (Toronto) Artengine is bringing art about the sports world to the place sport fans love the most – the local pub. For this unique public art project Ottawa’s leading digital culture center has commissioned 5 new contemporary art works to be presented in three local bars along Elgin Street (Hooley’s, The Manx Pub and The Lieutenants Pump). These works will be available for 3 weeks for patrons to interact with and reflect on their relationship to sports through new eyes. The projects include 2000 beer coasters created by Liz Garlicki (produced for Superfan by McAuslan Breweries and co-presented with Gallery 101); the interactive abstract cycling experience of Don Sinclair and Andra McCartney; a video trilogy about the consumed fan by Jillian McDonald; the statistical and obsessively superstitious portraits of World Cup soccer stars by Linda Norstrum, and the expansion of time created in the manipulation of 2 famous 100m sprints (Ben Johnson, 1988 and Donovan Bailey, 1996) by Florian Hollerweger. And for a mix of performance and art, Artengine has arranged for a special edition of Navid Taslimi’s Gold Sprints, a bicycle roller race tournament with real time results of speed and distance. The Gold Sprint competition is open to all and will be the central element to the opening night party at Hooley’s on Elgin. Like an athletic karoke tournament, this is definitely a new take on art vs sport. Finally, Hooley’s and Available Light will host a screening of two exceptional and fun films about Canada’s hockey culture. Valery’s Ankle is a poetic look at the sometimes glassy gaze we throw on important historical events, namely the two-handed slash of rival Russian star Valery Kharlamov’s ankle in the 1972 Summit Series and its role in this cherished Canadian victory. Death by Popcorn takes a tongue-in-cheek conspiratorial look at the suspicious demise of the Winnipeg Jets with mix of carefully collected archival footage and new investigations. Video night in hockey land indeed! Artists
will be in attendance from New York, Winnipeg and Toronto for

Light Screening Collective presents: The act of autobiography is not active, not performative, but reflective. Autobiography requires an act of removal. The subject must step out of the narrative stream of life events and recount, remember, reflect from a position that is inactive, neutral, removed. In autobiography, introspection is retrospection. The self-portrait is not retrospective but, relatively speaking, immediate, in the present. One can have but one authentic autobiography, but an endless number of self-portraits. Autobiography wants everything. It wants you dead. It is teleological. It begins at the end, and then works — inevitably, inexorably — to that end. No longer "Know thyself." Instead "Keep your self to yourself." Or, possibly, "Keep yourself to your self." The videos in Against Autobiography are not autobiography but self-portraiture, a series of self-portraits. Video Program: Per
Se, Deirdre Logue, 4 min., 2005 About the Curator: Steve Reinke is an artist, writer, and curator best known for his videos. His work is screened widely and is in several collections, including the Museum of Modern Art (New York), the Pompidou (Paris), and the National Gallery of Canada (Ottawa). His tapes typically have diaristic or collage formats, and his autobiographical voice-overs share his desires and pop culture appraisals with endearing wit. Born in a village in northern Ontario, Reinke is currently associate professor of Art Theory & Practice at Northwestern University. In the 1990's he produced the ambitious omnibus The Hundred Videos (1996), and a book of his scripts, Everybody Loves Nothing: Scripts 1997 - 2005 was published by Coach House (Toronto). He has also co-edited several books, including By the Skin of Their Tongues: Artist Video Scripts (co-edited with Nelson Henricks, 1997), Lux: A Decade of Artists' Film and Video (with Tom Taylor, 2000), and The Sharpest Point: Animation at the End of Cinema (with Chris Gehman, 2005). About Available Light Screening Collective: The
Available Light Screening Collective is an Ottawa-based artists' collective
committed to the presentation and curation of experimental film, video
and new media art. Support for our activities is received from the
Canada Council for the Arts, the Ontario Arts Council and the City
of Ottawa. Current members are: James Missen, Minh Nguyen, Linda Norstrom,
Theo Pelmus, Christopher Rohde, and Phil Rose.
