CYCLES: the Route (Art Spin 08/2012)

the Route (Art Spin 08/2012)

the Route (Art Spin 08/2012) is a nine-channel video projection created for Art Spin's bicycle art tour and Annual Exhibition. Using their proposed route for their August 2012 bicycle tour of art galleries, artist studios and performances. I cycled it three times while recording my experience from three different perspectives, and, at three different times of the day (7:30, 13:30 and 19:30).

The projection was accompanied by a handout that provided details on cycling the route.

Unknown a dit...: Howdy would you mind stating which blog platform you're working with? I'm going to start my own blog soon but I'm having a hard time selecting between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal. The reason I ask is because your design and style seems different then most blogs and I'm looking for something unique. P.S Apologies for getting off-topic but I had to ask! charles schwab client login; 2017-11-08 18 h 09

Cycles

Cycles is an ongoing series of physical and virtual interventions that continues Cheryl Rondeau's exploration of the intersection between art and the everyday. Using the bike as the main mode of travel each intervention is fueled by determination and human-power.

Cycles projects:

the Route (Art Spin 08/2012)
43˚33'27"N 79˚35'24"W - Port Credit 2010
The Commute
Cycles 2009: Approaching Caribou Harbour
Cycles 2008: Toronto - Sudbury
Art Ride 2007

Physical endurance forms a central theme of the project. The use of the body in the artist’s displacement, its emphatic integration in the terrain, proposes a questioning of our perceptions of time and space in a world constantly shrinking within the virtual realm of cyberspace and ever-increasing air travel. Borders and geography are collapsed, disappearing from our collective memory. With this series of physical and virtual interventions Cheryl Rondeau pursues an investigation of the relationships between space and the body, gesture and the individual as well as the rupture between lived experience and its representation, so as to see and think differently.

Loaded with maps, camera, phone and notebook Rondeau logs her trouvailles and maps out her parcours. The Situationists were known to use walkie-talkies on their dérives. Similarly, she exploits today’s technology. Daily activities involve collecting ephemera, digital video and photography to map the geography of the experience and record the multiplicity of interstitial spaces between the departure and arrival points. Maintaining a record of the borders crossed and the landscapes traversed; while dealing with the elements and the fatigue that is at the core of long-distance cycling.
