About the Program
Vancouver Video is a series of three video installations—recently produced by Vancouver artists Dana Claxton, Bobbi Kozinuk, and Tim Lee—shown internationally. These installations show the wide range of work being produced in Vancouver and the concerns and aesthetics these artists employ. Dana Claxton's The Heart of Everything That Is takes its name from the Lakota name for the Black Hills of Dakota, which are the centre of the Sioux universe and their most sacred site. The installation attempts to speak to Native American notions of the sacred within contemporary life. Tim Lee's four-screen installation Louie Louie uses the Kingsmen's old hit as its genesis. Lee's appropriation of this song uses race as an impetus. This classic blues song came to him and us through a white pop group and Lee as a young Asian male remakes the classic from this perspective. Bobbi Kozinuk's new work Diffraction uses images of mosaic tile floor to create an abstract panorama that references digital culture. The dancing patterns give an effect of vertigo; the viewer is strangely drawn in.September 14 to October 20, 2002: Nuova Icona, Venice, Italy
