REWIND - Guest Curator - Jesse Scott

Submitted by capitalmag on June 3, 2007 - 5:22pm.

Introducing the REWIND Curator Jesse Scott - aka metre, aka CineCitta. Jesse is a media artist, curator, promoter, and theorist working from Vancouver, BC. He regularly curates and programs with the memelab, New Forms Festival, NTSC, and the Balcone Arts Society.

Jesse works within many stylistic domains, in the context of live performance, recorded, and installation-based art. His work is preoccupied with the crossover of sound and listening practice with radical political gesture, with the autonomy of the image and sovereignty from recuperation, and the political role of the artist. As a writer, Jesse Scott has had text appear on soundsimple.ca, WOO magazine and VJTheory.net among others.

Fred Herzogí¢â‚¬â„¢s photography exhibition is extensive, almost excessive. But this arrangement of overabundance traverses the visual spectrum.It often depicts images of overcrowded streets, jammed full of bright neon and gaudy advertisements, or shop windows teeming with row upon row of similar products, priced and hung like carcasses, waiting to be plucked. The unifying theme that gathers these pictures together is the sense of a city shaped by its economy, dominated by its impact and divided by its effects.
