Modulateur-Démodulatuer, by Arnauld Colcomb and Bertrand Planes, is one of the installations in TRACE that artist Carol Sawyer will respond to in a May 26 performance.

New Media Gallery is inviting a singer-artist in to respond to the ongoing TRACE exhibition.

Carol Sawyer will be on hand at the gallery on Saturday, May 26 for the fifth in an ongoing series of experimental, multidisciplinary exhibition responses in and around the gallery.

Sawyer is an accomplished Vancouver-based visual artist and singer who works in photography, video, installation and improvised music. Since the early 1990s, her work has been concerned with the connections between photography and fiction, performance, memory and history.

For this performance, she’ll explore her response to TRACE, an exhibition that’s concerned with drawing and representation and that explores the relationships developing between human makers and technologies. Sawyer is responding primarily to Human Study No. 1 – 5RNP, by Patrick Tresset, and Modulateur-Démodulatuer, by Arnauld Colcomb and Bertrand Planes.

Her performance will run from 3 to 4 p.m. It’s free, but space is limited, so arrive early. Seating is also limited, so bring along a cushion as well.

The New Media Gallery is at Anvil Centre, 777 Columbia St. For information, email [email protected].
