Presented at Whippersnapper Gallery: 4PM – 4AM Daily
Whippersnapper presented Sidewalk Screening. The video exhibition series featured 26 emerging artists from across Canada. Representing a broad range of styles and subject matter, this collage of emergent voiced creates an aesthetic conversation for a diverse audience. The series was intended to provide a visual reprieve from the dark winter landscape of the city. By being projected onto the surface of the gallery windows these video works interacted with the audience outside gallery by filling the streetscape with animated shorts. Speakers installed outside the gallery allow viewers to experience an aesthetic intervention in the visual and auditory landscape of the everyday. The exhibition was projected from 4pm (sunset) until 4am (sunrise) daily starting December 12th. The Sidewalk Screening website featured descriptions and animated .gifs of all the artists works as well as an exhibition text written by Alvis Choi. Viewers were encouraged to vote for their pick for the Viewer’s Choice Award by visiting www.sidewalkscreening.com.
