June 18, 2011 o soccer fan will want to miss this contemporary portrait of soccer superstar Zinédine Zidane that gives the viewer access to the athlete and the game like never before.
Zidane was filmed during a championship match between Real Madrid and Villarreal on April 23, 2005. The artists, Douglas Gordon and Philippe Parreno, positioned 17 cameras throughout Madrid's Santiago Bernabéu stadium and directed a team of camera operators to remain fixed on the French soccer star throughout the entire match.
The film has been composed utilizing footage from all 17 cameras and is projected on two large-scale screens in the gallery. Zidane's image is projected larger than life so that his every gesture and expression are emphasized. The soundtrack shuttles the viewer between the sounds of the game and an ethereal, introspective space, creating a radically different experience of both soccer and portraiture. In an era of spectacle and branding, Gordon and Parreno deploy the conventions of mass media both to "paint" their portrait of Zidane, as well as to portray our cultural creation of, and fascination with, heroes and icons.
This video installation of Gordon and Parreno‘s work was a sensation at the Cannes Film Festival when it debuted in 2006. Since then, it has toured internationally gathering critical acclaim.
Douglas Gordon is part of the Young British Artists (YBAs) art movement famously associated with Damien Hirst. One of Gordon's best-known art works is 24 Hour Psycho (1993) which slows down Alfred Hitchcock's film so that it lasts 24 hours. Philippe Parreno is an artist and filmmaker currently living in Paris, France. His work is included in the collections of the Museum of Modern Art, New York (MoMA), the Centre Georges Pompidou, Paris (France) and the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York (USA).
Acclaimed cinematographer Darius Khondji (Seven), sound engineer Tom Johnson (Charlie and the Chocolate Factory), and editor Hervé Schneid (Amélie) were involved in the making of Zidane: A 21st Century Portrait.
This exhibition is organized by the National Gallery of Canada. Website: www.glenbow.org |

| | Time: All Day Event / Location: EPCOR CENTRE’s +15 Soundscape
June 18, 2011 EPCOR CENTRE for the Performing Arts is proud to present Wildurban A Multichannel Soundscape created by locally and internationally recognized sound artist Charles Fox.
The soundscape for Wildurban was composed from multichannel surround sound recordings made in wilderness locations in various parts of Saskatchewan. The recording locations reflect a diversity of ecological communities that include waterfowl, songbirds, insects and mammals, communities which are fast disappearing from the Canadian Prairies and Boreal forests.
Through this arrangement, Wildurban invites those who encounter the resulting soundscape to listen in on the wild world, to consider both the origins and potential of human interaction when exploring these natural forms of relationships and communication found in the wild urban soundscape.
Join us in supporting media arts in the Prairies.
