Friday March 12 14:00-16:00 Javiera Ovalle Sazie & Sarah Barr

For her ra(i)dio performance, Javiera Ovalle Sazie, armed with a thrift store air pressurized super soaker, will write with water onto the glass of the vitrine. The sounds of these writings will bring linguistic and personal translations from the news of the recent Chilean earthquake.

Sarah Barr will teach others texts from her memory - a double translation - making room for more loss but also for more possibility, the layering of genres, authors, memory, bodies and voices. The flow and present moment of radio offers a greater wager within the development of this textual relationship.

- - - - - - - - - - - -_, or, why do I have these 45s?

I’ve never paid that much attention to the 7” vinyl format. By comparison to the 12” LP, the 7” (whether 33 or 45 RPM) always seemed too short and inconvenient. But somehow I wound up with a few. There’s nothing dramatic or exceptional about these discs. As a group, they’re really just markers of past interests: points on a line. A set of 13 or 14 a and/or b sides, about 45 minutes worth, with something else to fill the hour if there is time left over. Making choices, but making them by having made them long ago.
Tim Dallett

Jo-Anne Balcaen and Tim Dallett are Montreal-based artists and cultural workers.
