[BCMA] Nanaimo Art Gallery presents "Video and New Media Extravaganza!

[Moderated BCMA subscriber listserv.]

The Nanaimo Art Gallery, 900 Fifth Street location, presents "The Video
Body: The Private Self as Public" from January 8th to February 13th, 2010.
Artists John G. Boehme's, Farheen Haq's, Judith Price's and Jeroen
Witvliet's Video Art projects use and engage their private self to become an
engaged public body. These artists structure their own personal narratives
as sites of investigation and resistance to mass media's influences. They
conceptualize and investigate sites of codes and language to present complex
diverse narratives that, in a gallery space, feed into and out of each
other's projects and are ripe with a multi-narrative that resists easy
interpretation. Presented also is an exhibition by Brian MacDonald & Friends
"Video Art Therapy". This is a video installation accompanied by sculpture
by Scott Evans and Aston Coles and video by Tor Jorgen van Eijk. This
installation is designed to make video art a useful commodity by providing
therapeutic benefits to the viewer. The opening reception for both these
exhibitions is January 8th from 5:00-7:00pm.

Featured at The Nanaimo Art Gallery, downtown location at 150 Commercial
Street, from January 8 to February 13 is Datastreams, an exhibition by
Vancouver Island University digital media students and staff. This is an
eclectic show of video art, new media projects, and recent video. Opening
reception is January 14th from 4:00-6:00pm.
