[www.terminus1525.ca], Upgrade Montréal [theupgrade.sat.qc.ca] + other surprises…
Since the proclamation of Fluxus artist Robert Filliou in 1963, January 17th happens to be Art’s Birthday. Art was thus born 1,000,000 years ago and artists and artist groups everywhere around the globe celebrate this important anniversary by organizing international events and network art happenings, and by eating cake and offering gifts to Art. Every year, Art’s Birthday becomes an occasion for exchange between artists and art events. The Eternal Network grows this way by exploring the telecommunications arts.
The party circuit begins at 5pm. All should meet at Studio XX [www.studioxx.org] (338 Terrasse St-Denis) when artists Pascale Malaterre and Danny Perreault will lead you into a sound-walk entitled «Paysages politique», an intervention for portable audiophonic media. So bring your i-pods, potable audio mp3 players, CD players and headphones.
Punctuated by winter sounds, the walk will first stop at 4001 Berri street where artist centres articule [www.articule.org] (suite 105) and OBORO [www.oboro.net] (suite 301) will welcome you with their own program respectively. While climbing the stairs, you will give a little visit to articule, which co-presents with Diffusion Système Minuit du Québec, an action around workshop with performance artist Yoyo Yogasmana. Also, do not forget to carry your own mug and thermos since OBORO will be serving hot cocoa and tea while you admire the installation «Machines for Social Circumstances» by new media artist Nicholas Stedman.
Armed with warm drinks, you will then be driven by Pascale Malaterre to Théâtre de Verdure in Lafontaine Park for a short guerilla screening of «L’abécédaire de Gilles Deleuze» (Deleuze interview by Claire Parnet), an initiative of Jimmy Lakatos in collaboration with Pascale Malaterre. One must stay until the end as the public with be then equipped with the essential element for the rest: the party hat (hand-made especially for the occasion). A collective crossing of Rachel street with your cheerleader Jake Moore, the party circuit will act as a prelude to the culmination of this grand tour (wink, wink at the ones who have camera-phones)…
La Centrale Galerie Powerhouse [www.lacentrale.org] (4296 St-Laurent) will be waiting for you with projections of the walk, as well as a common MAIL@RT project in collaboration with Studio XX, la Centrale, terminus1525 [www.terminus1525.ca] and Upgrade Montréal [theupgrade.sat.qc.ca]. Birthday e-cards for Art, games, books, music and plenty of yummy food will make up the Art’s Birthday Party where all will celebrate together that which has entered our lives so many years ago…

CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS
Deadline: January 15th 2006
For Art’s Birthday, Studio XX invites its members to contribute to the celebrations through a special “mail art” project… The Studio is asking members to create birthday “e-cards” addressed to Art! The e-cards will be made accessible or projected at the actual birthday party – culmination of the Studio’s carnival-like expedition. Just south of Sherbrooke off St. Denis the evening of Tuesday January 17th.
Via this “mail @rt” intervention, the Studio wants to underline the Eternal Network as an exchange-event oriented towards telecommunication arts as well as a playful network happening with subversive underpinnings. Studio XX thus invites members to freely re-interpret traditional e-cards! From the simple jpeg to the minimalist animation, we will accept your submissions until January 15th 2006 (so nothing too complicated!) at the following email address.
Art is looking very forward in getting your birthday wishes: art@studioxx.org
