A question for ice cream lovers

admin — Tue, 24 Aug 2010 12:56:11 +0000

You are 21 years old. You decide to meet your lover at the local ice cream shop on a hot summer night. She/he looks at you in a way that you don’t understand. What do you say?

Please send me your answers in the comment field that is accessible below. We’ll try to include them in a performance I’m doing as part of the Fait Maison performance collective at Le Moo in Wakefield, on Saturday night August 28, for Wakefest. If you don’t see a comment field, you are probably on the homepage of my site. Click on the headline “A question for ice cream lovers” and a comment field should open up below these words.

Pasolini. The father. The son. The holy ghost. A crow.

Is that what he meant?

Monte Cucco

A location where Pasolini shot Uccellacci e uccelini, featuring Ninetto, Totò, and a talking crow

Monte Cucco is in the outskirts of Rome, bordered by the Roma-Fiumicino Highway to the south, and Viale Isaaco Newton to the east. The dynamics of automotive traffic meet with sheepdogs, shepherds, crows, sheep and abandoned buildings. In the distance is EUR. A perfect location for a discussion about land use, relationships between fathers and sons, the role ideology plays in shaping a personality, speaking to animals and smelling the earth.

You can see this location at CinemaRoma.eu.

A map of peepers throughout the Gatineau hills

admin — Fri, 02 Apr 2010 20:21:40 +0000

I’ve started indicating where I’ve heard peepers in the hills. For those who don’t know, peepers are little tree frogs that sing madly on evenings in the early spring. Click on the link below the map (which is below the video you see at the bottom of this paragraph), then click on the “edit” button in the white pane to the left of the map when you’re in Google maps. Then, drag a pin (at the top left of the map) to the location where you’ve heard peepers. Add a description in the fields available. This way we can create a user-generated audio map of the Gatineau hills in the early spring. Please note, you’ll need a google account to edit the map. I’m not shilling for google, I just noticed when on a friend’s computer that you can’t edit without one.

The art of making maple syrup

admin — Sun, 07 Mar 2010 20:25:04 +0000

I have decided to turn my art website over to one of the most important art forms of all for this very special, very early, absolutely tremendous 2010 maple syrup season. In the five years we’ve lived here in the Gatineau Hills, I have fine-tuned my tactics for making syrup. I hope I can share some of my knowledge here with other small time producers. By small-time, I mean folks with access to a couple of good sugar maple trees. I’ve incorporated my comments directly into the gallery, so click on the images to learn more. If you see any information that is inaccurate or you have tips you would like to add, please send me an email or comment.

Global Prosperity

Opening October 21, 2009 at Axenéo7.

Global Prosperity is a videographic exploration of the ports of Los Angeles, Rotterdam, Montreal and Vancouver. Using long cinematic tracking shots to capture port terminals and the goods, machinery and workers in them, I am asking the viewer to consider the scale and complexity of the modern sea port. The extract below is of sulphur stacks, shot at Pacific Coast Terminals in Port Moody, British Columbia, Canada.
