Reva Stone: Displacement

96 pp. with full-colour illustrations. Catalogue of an exhibition from January 7th to February 22nd, 2004 at the Winnipeg Art Gallery. However slightly edge worn and rubbed. "It is a great honour for our gallery to present Reva Stone - Displacement, a major exhibition of three of her recent multimedia installations. It is particularly exciting to premiere her newest work Imaginal Expression. This multifaceted installation uses groundbreaking computer animation, video projection, and audience interaction through on-site surveillance cameras and the Internet to explore issues surrounding the displacement of the human body resulting from scientific and medical exploration and advancements. In each of these installations, the artist returns to the physical presence of the body, in one way or the other. In Imaginal Expression the molecules being projected and manipulated are actually blown-up scans of her body, her teeth, her hair, her fingers. Carnevale, the robot life-size cut-out of Stone?s childhood body, explores issues around lived experience and memory in a world of artificial intelligence. In sentientBody the viewer (captured in video projection) becomes the subject within a complex installation questioning the body's identity in light of medical intervention." - Patricia Bovey in the preface.…
