At Emily Carr University of Art & Design
South Building Lecture Hall, Room 301- 1400 Johnston St. Granville Is. Lectures are free and open to the public

Co-presented by VIVO Media Arts Centre, ECU Spring 2010 Speakers Series and Fillip

Introductory Performance by Frederick Cummings accompanied by James Diamond  

Ryan Trecartin was recently named winner of the Jack Wolgin International Competition in the Fine Arts, and New Artist of the Year by the Guggenheim Museum’s First Annual Art Awards. Trecartin will screen his forty-minute video P.opular S.ky (section ish) (2009) which will be followed by a discussion with Amy Lynn Kazymerchyk and the audience.

At once highly complex and fast-paced, Trecartin’s videos, which are usually exhibited within installations, place viewers inside exhilaratingly chaotic environments primed for post-racial, post-gender, and post-human encounters that collapse time, space, and identity into a layered and wholly unforgettable experience.
