The Way of the Termite: The Essay Film
November 6 through December 3, 2009
Cinematheque Ontario, Jackman Hall, Art Gallery of Ontario, 317 Dundas Street West, Toronto, ON M5T 1G4 Canada
Cinematheque Ontario is honoured to welcome Jean-Pierre Gorin, celebrated filmmaker and professor at University of California, San Diego, to guide us through this essential series on the “essay film,” one of the most exciting and elusive genres in contemporary cinema. In many ways a salient postscript to our successful nouvelle vague show this past summer, this series, which will run over two successive seasons, forms an inevitable, if shape-shifting portrait of cinematic auterism – which pre-dates Alexandre Astruc’s infamous coining of the term “caméra-stylo.” With examples by Chris Marker, Dziga Vertov, Luis Buñuel, Orson Welles, Chantal Akerman, Pier Paolo Pasolini, and Gorin himself, as well as his Dziga Vertov group collaborations with Jean-Luc Godard, various incarnations of the essay film will emerge, from the analytic and the ruminative to the incendiary.

Professor Emeritus Faith Ringgold
Contemporary: 1960s: Freedom and Conflict
November 14, 2008 – November 30, 2009
Art Gallery of Ontario Musée des beaux-arts de l’Ontario, 317 Dundas Street West Toronto Ontario Canada M5T 1G4
n the 1960s many people of the western world rejected conservative norms. Filled with hope for the future, they questioned governments, demanded civil rights and embraced sexual freedoms. What started in small youth and activist groups became a widespread movement for change. There was also a radical shift in art-making. Instead of just painting and sculpture, artists experimented with everyday objects, pop culture references, film and performance as they sought new freedoms of expression.

Ríete Mi Amor, A screening series at the Guggenheim Bilbao, curated by Laida Lertxundi in conjunction with ZineBi 51, Bilbao International Film Festival. Kaucyla Brooke, Jane Cottis, Sadie Benning, A.S.M. Kobayashi and Kalup Linzy, a wide cross section of American and Canadian directors who have been working for years in the field of experimental cinema, form part of this short season with their recent films, which are a genuine hybrid of genres that include fiction, documentaries and filmed performances. The common denominator in these extraordinary audiovisual pieces is laughter, which appears in all of them to provide support for a profound critique whose aim is to question what is called gender normality and to make humour the basic element of queer theory and post-modern feminist discourse.

University Art Gallery, UC San Diego, 9500 Gilman Dr., La Jolla, California 92093
Artists Talk: Violence and Politics
November 21, 2009, 1pm
Pepper Canyon Hall, room 106
For the new exhibition season the University Art Gallery, UC San Diego presents an international exhibition entitled Off The Beaten Path: Violence, Women and Art. The exhibition brings together artists from around the world to explore the global ramifications of gender-based violence. The exhibition, curated by Randy Jayne Rosenberg executive director of Art Works For Change, features twenty-one artists from nineteen countries. “Throughout the world, women and girls are victims of countless and senseless acts of violence. The range of gender-based violence is devastating, occurring, quite literally, from womb to tomb,” explains Randy Jayne Rosenberg. “The stories that underlie these artworks return us imaginatively to the event of violation and allow it to affect us.” Premised on the visionary potential in art, the exhibition avoids tabloid and sensational imagery. The invited artists were asked, “To help us create new representations through their artworks and, in doing so, help us feel and understand the essence of the problem of violence against women,” says Rosenberg.
Artists: Amnesty International, Laylah Ali, Maimuna Feroze-Nana, Mona Hatoum, Icelandic Love Corporation, Yoko Inoue, International Rescue Committee, Jung Jungyeob, Amal Kenawy, Lisa Bjørne Linert, Hung Liu, Gabriela Morawetz, Miri Nishri, Yoko Ono, Cecilia Paredes, Susan Plum, Cima Rahmankhah, Joyce J.

Tijuana/San Diego: Cooperation and Confrontation at the Interface
Exhibition runs Monday, October 5 through November 25, 2009
Calit2 Theater / Atkinson Hall, University of California, San Diego, 9500 Gilman Drive, La Jolla, CA 92093
The gallery@calit2 presents "Tijuana/San Diego: Cooperation and Confrontation at the Interface" moderated by Eduardo Navas. The show brings together works by seven artists who draw upon the cultural landscape of the border region linking Tijuana and San Diego. While most of the artists are based in Tijuana, two of them - Lea Rudee and Fred Lonidier - are UC San Diego faculty members. The works in "Tijuana/San Diego: Cooperation and Confrontation at the Interface" range from digital prints to interactive multimedia. José Ignacio López Ramírez-Gastón's interactive spatialized sound installation, 24 Speakers and 24 Sound Sources, deployed in the interior of the gallery@calit2, enacts the concept of the democratization of knowledge and 'reversed migration' in the use of technology. In the main hallway, Media Womb creates an interactive sound cocoon made of recycled egg cartons - visitors' movements inside the womb modulate sounds connected to the media's mis/representations of Tijuana and transborder drug cartels. Media Womb is a collaboration from the artists of the CUBO Project: Giacomo Castagnola, Camilo Ontiveros, Nina Waisman and Felipe Zúñiga, with programming by Marius Schebella. Other works on display include former UCSD School of Engineering dean Lea Rudee's photographs documenting the Tijuana River's path across the border, revealing its many roles as drainage creek, city water supply, border crossing obstacle, and preserved salt marsh. UCSD Visual Arts Professor Fred Lonidier's N.A.F.T.A. #15 "Rio Tijuana Bridge: A Tale of Two Globes or Two Tales of a Globe/Puente del Rio Tijuana: Un Cuento de Dos Mundos o Cuentos de Un Mundo" provides a representation of the problematics of "globalization" from the perspective of the organized efforts by workers to make gains in labor rights and conditions of employment.
