Public Domain, local SAW Video's touring project featuring footage culled from Ottawa-based Library and Archives Canada, continues to hit the road with screenings beyond the capital.
"With the support of a grant from the Canada Council Media Arts Commissioning program, in 2009 SAW Video commissioned seven accomplished media artists working in Canada to create new video works using public domain films and videos footage in the Film/Video/Sound Collection of the Library and Archives Canada. The result is Public Domain, a programme of six new videos which premiered in Ottawa in 2010 and has toured in 2011 across North America and the United Kingdom." - http://www.sawvideo.com/event/public-domain-tour-2012-0
Showcasing work by artists Sara Angelucci (Toronto), Maureen Bradley (Victoria), Gennaro de Pasquale (Montreal), Steve Reinke (Chicago/Toronto), Ryan Stec and Véronique Couillard (Ottawa), and Suzan Vachon (Montreal), Public Domain stopped at the Cambridge Galleries in Cambridge, Ontario in February 2012, continuing this March at the Zeitgeist Multi-disciplinary Arts Centre in New Orleans, Louisiana and the Eyedrum Arts Centre in Atlanta, Georgia, before ending this year's tour at Toronto's Ryerson Art Gallery December 5th.
