Colouring the Virtual: Jim Campbell and Cinematic Futurity
Talk by Erin Manning

Talk + Book Launch

Saturday, November 1, Free!
3-6pm Pixel Gallery, 156 Augusta Ave.
Toronto, ON


Pleasure Dome is delighted to present a talk by film and visual-arts
philosopher Erin Manning (Concordia University) on artist Jim Campbell.

Jim Campbell's sculptural installations and filmic images have pioneered
new ways of looking: the closer you get to the images, the more intangible
they become. In her talk Manning will explore how Campbell's work creates
propositions for vision that alter not only how an image is seen in its
framed stability, but how the instability of its composition occasions
kinesthetic experience that destabilizes the visual predominance of moving
images.

Erin Manning is Assistant Professor in studio art and film studies at
Concordia University (Montreal) as well as director of the Sense Lab, a
laboratory that explores the intersections between art practice and
philosophy through the matrix of the sensing body in movement
www.senselab.ca. In her art practice she works between movement, painting,
fabric and sculpture. Publications include Politics of Touch: Sense,
Movement, Sovereignty and Ephemeral Territories: Representing Nation, Home
and Identity in Canada. Her current book-project is called Relationscapes:
Movement, Art, Philosophy.

Moderated by Firoza Elavia.
