The CRUM hosted Luis Jacob while he was in Montréal for the presentation of two video works Theory, 2002, and Light On (Flashlight), 2013 as part of a larger project titled, Network Consciousness / La conscience du réseau.

To learn more about the event, see the description at SBC Gallery, or at Vidéographe.

Luis Jacob is a Canadian artist and curator born in Peru. He presented his work at documenta 12 (2007) and at the New York Guggenheim Museum (2010). He lives and works in Toronto.

What possibilities for artistic action exist within the public sphere?

The CRUM welcomes independent curator Alissa Firth-Eagland to Montreal. As part of her stay, she will give a talk at Skol to present her practice and experiences as a nomadic cultural worker, and her interest in printed matter as public sphere. A fictive text, produced as part of a collaborative project organized by École du Magasin (Grenoble, FR) puts forward The Bruce High Quality Foundation (New York) and Claire Fontaine (Paris) as protagonists and acts as an entry point to an open group discussion.

The CRUM International Residency (CIR) program was inaugurated with Los Angeles-based artist, choreographer and creative consultant, Sara Wookey. In anticipation of future projects, Sara explored interests in all things movement-body-space related: urban development; public transportation; spatial design and signage.

What struck me the most was the human scale, the ease of moving the body from point a to point b and the juxtaposition of old industry to new development. -SW
