Art's Birthday: Imag(in)ing Network
Description:
Art’s Birthday was a tradition started by French Fluxus artist Robert Filliou who declared, on January 17, 1963, that Art had been born exactly 1,000,000 years prior when somebody dropped a dry sponge into a bucket of water. Over many decades, artists have continued to organize annual celebrations in the spirit of Filliou’s “Eternal Network” or “La Fête permanente.”
To conclude the week of festivities, Western Front participated in a three-way video jam with Latitude 53 Gallery, Edmonton, the Banff Centre for the Arts, Banff.
