KELOWNA, BC -- An exhibition by artists Faith Moosang and Christoph
Runne, opens Friday, August 22 at the Alternator Gallery for
Contemporary Art.
This representation of war concentrates on the motivations that fuel
ongoing military and economic conflicts within the ever-changing
alliances of international politics.
Hand-processed, speed-manipulated 16 mm film loops of a guard dog
lapping water, a nuclear blast and an oil-filled nodding donkey blended
with appropriated imagery from the movies Wall Street and MacArthur are
projected on to a rotating screen. Audio of motors blends with the noise
of the projectors to create a feeling of confusion and chaos.
Faith Moosang and Christoph Runne are based in Vancouver. Moosang holds
a Master's degree in Fine Arts from Simon Fraser University. Runne is a
video and installation artist and a graduate of Simon Fraser University.
They have exhibited locally and internationally at venues including the
InterUrban Gallery in Vancouver and the Prague Contemporary Art Festival
in Czechoslovakia.
The opening reception, which includes a talk by Moosang and Runne, runs
from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. The exhibition continues to October 3.
Also opening on Friday is an exhibition by Susan Brandoli titled
Counterv(e)il: Truth, Apostasy and the Anxious Object. This is her
graduating exhibition for an Interdisciplinay MFA in studio art and
critical theory at UBC Okangan.
The Alternator, an artist-run centre located on the main floor of the
Rotary Centre for the Arts at 421 Cawston Avenue in Kelowna, BC, is open
from 11 to 5 p.m. Tuesday to Saturday. Admission is by donation. All are
welcome.
