About the Program

Pin-up presented video and digital stills of works by noted Newfoundland-based artist Colette Urban. The exhibition featured digital stills from the new performance Limited Possession, digital stills from HOOT, and a single channel video loop documenting HOOT's performance as an introduction to the film Pretend Not To See Me. Limited Possession premiered at grunt on October 28, 2011.

Limited Possession is a performance-based project that was documented for an exhibition of thirteen still photographs. The documentation took place in a storage facility in the community of McIvers, Newfoundland. This project included the production of a 2012, signed-edition calendar. The gallery installation also included a slightly larger than life-size photographic, sculptural cut-out of the performer. HOOT is a performance that was documented at Full Tilt Creative Centre for the purposes of the installation. The costume is made up of a feathered garment, petticoat and a helmet with CD discs and battery lights.
