ICOAAT presents an evening of Lit + Art + Video Games at Lipont Art Centre in Richmond. LITERATURE Dominion Reading Series Lucky #8 goes on the Road to Lipont Place / Lipont Art Centre for Converge – Lit / Art / Music / VideoGames – Richmond on March 18th at 7pm! Writers reading for the evening are: Jane Shi Danielle LaFrance Raoul Fernandes Adrienne Gruber Hasan Namir Mohamad Kebbewar Aidan Chafe Christopher Evans Shazia Hafiz Ramji Curtis LeBlanc ART Deanne Achong, whose work has been in galleries world-wide, will present Slow Takes, two long-exposure photographs taken with a film camera. In these works, she tackles the concept of time. Achong says, “In today’s world of Instagram, Snapchat and the like, everything is almost instantaneous – including the sharing of the image. This project invites the audience to consider notions of time, and movement, where the blur created by the movement of the subject freely sitting during the longer exposure is part of the finished image.” Much like the slow food movement, using slow film with the portrait subject sitting for anything from five to thirty minutes for their portrait lets the sitter savour both the moment and the results. Achong will also be taking slow portraits at the Converge event with the sitters able to download or acquire their slow portraits as a reminder of the event and Achong’s artistry. More to come! Cover by donation, suggested donation $5. (No one turned away). Tickets in advance or at the door. Proceeds to the writers, artists, performers and to cover snacks!
