Free, all are welcome
We are pleased to present a closing reception and artist talk with multidisciplinary Hamilton-based artist Derek Jenkins on Wednesday, March 28. Derek’s current exhibition, The E6 Process, is on view at Factory Media Centre from March 9-31. Presented as part of Hamilton Audio/Visual Node’s Sonic Art Series, The E6 Process attends to the invisible labour beneath moving images. It is a work about work: the unseen beneath the seen, the heard beneath the unheard. It is subterranean. Assembled over months, it depicts the E6 process in one of the few remaining North American labs doing such work. With the last colour reversal motion picture stock discontinued in 2012, these recordings document a precarious ritual.
Recording the process–largely performed in darkness–with various microphones and techniques, the piece narrates the revelation of exposed images from beginning to end. Embodied and disembodied, it both tracks the worker and follows the film into the machine itself. Paired with the latent object of this labour, the piece invites listeners to hear and feel their way into the motion picture image.
Join us for a closing reception and artist talk with Derek on Wednesday, March 28, from 7-9pm to delve deeper into the conception of his moving exhibition, The E6 Process.
About HAVN:
For over five years, the Hamilton Audio Visual Node (HAVN) has been dedicated to supporting the development, exhibition, documentation, and dispersal of sound, images, and ideas through the programming of experimental and innovative art forms created by emerging and diverse groups of artists. We are a space, arts collective, and curatorial group striving to create and present the art of culturally diverse artists, as well as support performance, media, and sound-based works that do not fit within institutional structures.
About Sonic Art Series:
Generously supported by the Ontario Arts Council, the Sonic Art Series (SAS) represents a continuation of HAVN’s mission, to support the development, exhibition, documentation, and dispersal of sound, images, and ideas. This is demonstrated through experimental and innovative art programming that features emerging and diverse groups of artists. SAS will celebrate ALL THINGS SOUND! This curated program features contemporary sound art practice in Canada. SAS will be presenting sound artists whose audible artworks connect ideas of sound with space; analog/digital audio in combination with physical sculpture; sound and performance art; improvised sound; visualizations of sound; as well as coded and interactive sound.
