Arthur Lipsett: About Time, A Film Retrospective |
Hosted by Double Negative and curated by Brett Kashmere, the program encompasses four nights at the Cinémathèque Québécoise in Montréal. Included in the screenings are Lipsett's entire body of work--with some newly struck prints and very rarely seen films--as well as work by Canadian filmmakers who he's influenced and, to cap it off on the 12th, a recently-completed documentary on Arthur Lipsett made at the National Film Board.

Some geekery at Le Mois de la Photo à Montréal |
For Le Mois de la Photo I just finished working with artist Josée Pedneault to realize her video installation in a church, where it will reside for the next six weeks (that's more than "un mois," but don't tell the Québécois).
Using
Max/MSP, I made randomized, cross-faded video sequences (shot by Josée) for projection onto the walled surfaces where stained glass windows would normally reside.
The show is called Mur-mur (literally "wall-wall" in French ) and opens September 6.
Update. Photos: 1,, 2,, 3 |

All done / Gawker Artists
|
All the sections are now up; the content will continue to fill in as I document and decide on the worthiness of past work. If I muster the courage, some music may go up in the sounds area, which now houses only a couple of field recordings.
Some of my photos can be found. . .on the web. . .in ad-space. Albeit of pop-culture-blog patronage, Gawker Artists operates with the resourceful idea of placing non-commercial images in unsold ad-space of websites that sign up. |

Things have been shifting and changing a bit. The film section is done.
I just noticed that I get two domains with this webhost, so I moved from chrisbecks.com to christopherbecks.com, and email to cb@christopherbecks.com. |
