Thanks once again to Sawdust Collector for hosting a brilliant evening of works on Tuesday at the lovely Gold Saucer Studio, including Justin Devries’ quadrophonic Gamelan, Julia Ulehla’s live vocal soundtrack to her great grandfather’s stunning ethnographic/fiction film and Iris’ own Alex MacKenzie literally melting down the mating rituals of western culture. Some truly unforgettable moments all around. See you all for the final round on May 7th!

Alex MacKenzie: EXPERIMENTS FOR A SINGLE PROJECTOR #2

Tuesday April 2, 2019 | Door 9pm, Show 9:30pm

A part of Sawdust Collector’s NEW WORKS #17 Gold Saucer, #211-207 West Hastings (Dominion Building) $5-$10 or PWYC at the door, cash only. Join us for a projector performance on 16mm film by Iris Film Collective member Alex MacKenzie. Experiments for a Single Projector #2 will rework “Are We Still Going to the Movies?”, originally commissioned for a performance in San Francisco in 2013 and presented again in 2014 at Iris’ inaugural group show. A vintage ‘70s educational film on relationships is slowed and strobed, exploding the confrontational nature of embedded social customs. Speed interference and introduced sound transform a somber date into a sinister affair.

Also on the bill this evening: JULIA ULEHLA (vocalist, actress, ethnomusicologist) and JUSTIN DEVRIES (percussionist/composer exploring improvisation, new music, and gamelan). NEW WORKS: Twice a year, Sawdust Collector invites three artists to present short works-in-progress over the course of three shows as part of their weekly series at the Gold Saucer Studio. Featured are iterations of a single piece or new material from different projects. New Works is a set of deadlines and free rein to chase an idea, to experiment, expand, and refine; an open invitation, an attentive room, and a shared stage in good company. Join us! More info HERE.

ALEX MACKENZIE Alex MacKenzie is a Vancouver-based media artist working with 16mm film and hand processed imagery to create expanded cinema performance and light projection installation. His work has screened at the Rotterdam International Film Festival, EXiS (Seoul), Lightcone (Paris), Kino Arsenal (Berlin) and many other festivals and art spaces worldwide. Alex also teaches specialized workshops on alternative film techniques including processing, photograms, handmade emulsion, pre-cinema, and projector performance. His work has most recently screened at Cinema-Nova in Brussels, Queen Mary University in London, Antimatter in Victoria, and The Independent Film Labs Encounter in Mexico City. His work will appear as a part of the LOOPDALOOP group show with the Iris Film Collective at this year’s Capture Fest in April at Burrard View Fieldhouse, where the collective are currently Artists-in-Residence for 2019-2022.
