My name is Simon Brault and I am the CEO of the Canada Council for the Arts. We have been working very hard for months to prepare what we call at Council phase 2 of the portal for the New Funding Model. We have made huge progress over the last weeks, but we recently tested the portal and discovered major technical problems. So we wanted to make sure to fix the bugs we found, and it will take several weeks to do so. So the new date [for applying via the portal] will be June 5. So June 5, you will be able to apply through the portal. And we will communicate all the information you need to make sure no one will be negatively affected. It is an exceptional situation. But the Canada Council is absolutely committed to make sure that we offer the best possible access to every artist and every artistic organization of this country. So, I want to thank you for your patience. I want to thank you for your understanding of this situation. And the Canada Council will do everything in its power to make sure the applying functionality of the portal will be for the community a positive, easy and fluid experience. Thank you. yt:video:elHVbcl7h0k elHVbcl7h0k UCQEQa8bgSFIXiRtQxmdWIuw CanadaCouncil https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQEQa8bgSFIXiRtQxmdWIuw 2017-02-15T12:44:24+00:00 2017-08-05T10:49:51+00:00 Pamela Ritchie, jewellery artist and 2017 Canada Council laureate - a film by Tim Wilson Please like this video and subscribe to support the arts in Canada.

But when you start to really look at something for a long time that’s that small and detailed, you’re carried off into a place that is like a dream. And it’s a paradox that a piece that’s this small and intricate can capture so many ideas. This one is part of a series called States of Matter. The intention there was to think about what physicists are doing, which is trying to understand what we are, what we are made out of. What is this material that makes our universe the first matter, that expansion of that big bang, that huge collision? Paper is at once a kind of inexpensive material that we don’t think of as having any lasting quality but stamps are considered very precious by a lot of people. So you have this interesting contrast of the way we treat stamps; collected, treasured, or thrown out or recycled. I thought that it would be interesting to place them in the context of the precious by framing them with the sterling silver. This is a very recent piece, and I’m still trying to figure out where I’m going with it. It’s made completely of alternative materials, of wood, of polymers, paint. This could be a landscape, but not on our planet. People come close to look at your work when you’re wearing something unusual, and it usually does start some kind of conversation. yt:video:3-VzY7XoZH8 3-VzY7XoZH8 UCQEQa8bgSFIXiRtQxmdWIuw CanadaCouncil https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQEQa8bgSFIXiRtQxmdWIuw 2017-02-15T12:44:23+00:00 2017-03-18T19:49:07+00:00 Philip Monk, curator/writer & 2017 Canada Council laureate -a film by Pixie Cram Please like this video and subscribe to support the arts in Canada.

Even when I accidently became a curator at the Art Gallery of Ontario, after freelancing as a full time art critic for 8 years in the Toronto art community. Becoming a curator set off an identity crisis. I’m a curator, but also a critic, I would say for many years. Finally, I acknowledged to myself, yes, I am a curator, but who needs writing. My overarching game has been to produce some form of a history of a contemporary Toronto art, while at the same time being involved with Canadian and international art in general. In the early years, I persuaded myself, and others believed, that I was a French structuralist, critically-objective, conceptually-driven and theory-based. But when I look back at my days at the Power Plant, after I left the AGO, I think rather that I was a marginalist of sorts, interested in transgressive art, and outsiders who were not considered part of the accepted mainstream. At the Art Gallery of York University, my writing took a decided turn in which, apparently, I didn’t have much say. This is when I began to write books, not just catalogues. I believe that a book must operate according to the same principles as the artwork is discusses. Thus, I looked forward to resources in genres of writing, either fictional or philosophical. Philosophically, I’m interested in the invention of concepts, in discovering the operative concepts by which a work functions, which the artist may not even realize. But I know in this process that the work revealed me as much as I uncovered its hidden mechanisms, and so, while only a repetition, writing is a diverging, descending and deviant diversion of the artwork it fully respects. yt:video:5NHMybgBBTs 5NHMybgBBTs UCQEQa8bgSFIXiRtQxmdWIuw CanadaCouncil https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQEQa8bgSFIXiRtQxmdWIuw 2017-02-15T12:44:23+00:00 2017-07-04T09:02:52+00:00 AlterEgo (Mike Hoolboom), a film by Seren Husni and Mariam Zaidi Please like this video and subscribe to support the arts in Canada.

And the camera is always inviting you to be someone else. What does it mean to be an author if you didn’t make the thing that you’re showing? What does that mean about authority or what I should obey or look up to, or even how signing a piece of work creates a border around an identity? Somehow those borders start becoming soft, when you begin to admit someone else’s opinion or conversation, or someone else’s face, someone else’s pictures and sounds. I’ve thrown out many, many movies. It can become a kind of burden. Why does there have to be so many? There are already too many things to see. We need to make space. I used found footage in my filmwork, almost right from the beginning. There was this impurity or hybrid quality to the making. Yes, fringe, I vote for fringe to be on the margins, not to be at the centre of power or money or attention. I always felt that fringe media was a collective project, to create a digital file means adding something to a media comment, which we should all be able to access and remix. What we need is a freedom of circulation – that means freedom to move not only our bodies, but also our pictures and sounds. yt:video:AMrgtvMoaPA AMrgtvMoaPA UCQEQa8bgSFIXiRtQxmdWIuw CanadaCouncil https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQEQa8bgSFIXiRtQxmdWIuw 2017-02-15T12:44:23+00:00 2017-07-27T05:24:22+00:00 Michèle Cournoyer, filmmaker/animator & 2017 Canada Council laureate - a film by Claudie Lévesque Please like this video and subscribe to support the arts in Canada.

For sure, because drawing creates an intimacy through the brush and the ink. I have a lot of intimacy so it’s a prolongation of myself, and it’s easier for me to transmit the emotions inside me. It reveals a lot of the things I feel. In 1970, Michèle Cournoyer began making animated films with highly personal subjects, where autofiction, surrealism, fantasies and repressed secrets filled the screen. And I imagine that doing it through animation gives you a great freedom as well as a great permission. She produced several major works including A Feather Tale, Accordion, Robes of War and Soif. It’s more like surrealist play and so it dedramatizes, it allows for all kinds of freedom and games. But in order to reflect on my subject, I draw and create several versions. I start over, I’m always starting over, that’s how I find things. I can start the same sequence over again several times. When you say several sequences, how many drawings is that? The same subject? I can start over eternally, that sequence. Of 24 images? Yes. And you get a different result each time? Yes. Sometimes it’s not necessary, but sometimes it helps to find something else I hadn’t found. It’s also a kind of obsession. You get there … you see that almost nothing’s happened. I think that he’s opened his eyes a bit more. Yes, a lot of things have happened. Oh yes? You see them? They’re accidents … sometimes. But it’s true from one drawing to another, and that’s why animation is so long. If you want the movement to be fluid, then it can’t be an enormous change. But there are sequences that are faster than that and those ones, the wilder ones, sometimes the more we do, the more impulses and urgencies we feel. They’re accidents. There it’s happening really fast and that’s where the drawing is riskier. And resembles you more. You think so? More surreal, like I say, the same word. And she’s the one looking. I don’t know... Dark humour, in the end. Eyes watching her or her watching? I don’t know.
