Kevin Fawley, "The Remix City," 2020
ENERGY CRISIS!
RISE OF THE STREETCAR!
MURDER!
One of the Hoppers has killed a pedestrian. Was it misfortune or murder? There is heightened anxiety as the public loses faith in the transit network and protests for answers. The streets are in a panic, and a cynical hard-boiled detective (you the viewer) is called in from across the Prairies to unravel THE REMIX CITY...
FIRST FRIDAY March 6, 2020 at 6pm - 9pm
Using archival photographs as his samples, Kevin Fawley remixes and subverts the historical into a bizarre film noir narrative about the city’s relationship with transportation and energy. He mixes the past and present to create a new paradigm; rediscovering lost technologies that were haplessly discarded in the name of progress. Each collage is composed of charcoal, graphite, acetone transfers and hand-cut Xerox prints: portraying a black-and-white anachronistic future.
