Crankie's in The White Cube

This workshop will incorporate the use of outmoded Folk Art, Experimental Sound, Music, Voice, Drawing, Painting, Moving Image, Movement, Shadow, Technology and Conceptualism. Sign up if you are interested. The workshop will be conducted in both English and French.

In this workshop we will be making and exploring the contemporary potential of an outmoded media presentation device known today within American Folk Art circles as a 'Crankie'.

Whilst the Crankie is predominately associated with traditional 'narrative' and music (see these example ) :

we will try to explore its use in more 'abstract' directions, of light, movement, shadow, experience, film without film, etc, as well as narrative and tradition.
The workshop will be a mix of plastic (drawing, painting, moving image), movement and audio art. Any students interested in music, cinema and experimental sound are especially welcome.
