Utopia Suite Disco - by Clive Holden
Galerie d'art Foreman Bishop's University, 2600 College Street, Sherbrooke (Lennoxville), Québec Open from Tuesday to Saturday, from 12 pm noon to 5 pm
Clive Holden is a multi-disciplinary artist and author who works with moving images in three forms: fixed films and videos, performance, and installation. Utopia Suite Disco is about dancing to the beat of our hopes and fears to create movement as both figurative and literal progress towards Utopianism. A light tent is filled with projections of utopian heroes such as JFK, Martin Luther King, John Lennon and James Joyce. A dance floor is provided for the viewer to dance to a three-part disco suite by composer Oscar Van Dillen, a Rotterdam-based composer.
