Michael Snow: My Mother's Collection of Photographs

Join Michael Snow, Jean Gagnon and special guests for the launch of Snow's artist's book, My Mother's Collection of Photographs.
Snow's consolidates his mother's photo albums, presenting a total of 1,500 images. In a tenderly penned forward, he explains the simple impetus for the project. "The photographs are so beautiful and so historic that I wish to share them with others." while he has integrated small samples of these albums into his work before-notably figuring in his landmark catalog for the Art Gallery of Ontario in 1970. Michael Snow / A Survey - this volume provides a much larger and more unified selection.

Edited with an introduction and text by Michael Snow.

  RETROSPECTIVE: MICHAEL SNOW

ANTHOLOGY FILM ARCHIVES
Anthology is hosting a full retrospective of Michael Snow's film and video work, 1956 - 2019 !

A filmmaker, photographer, sculptor, painter, musician and writer, Michael Snow's prodigious talents have earned him a well-deserved reputation as one of Canada's foremost living artists. Much of his cinematic oeuvre is focused on exploring the differences between screen space and physical space; film time and real time; the slippery relationship between sound and picture; the critical processes involved in producing and perceiving images; the material essence of the celluloid image; and the transformative effects achieved through duration. Intellectual without being overly didactic, and always playful, Snow's filmography stands out as one of the most accomplished bodies of moving image work produced in the last 60 years. - Anthology Film Archives

  Michael Snow in Florence, Italy

BASE PROGETTI PER L'ARTE Presents Sounds of Snow
The special two-hour live streaming not only offers an unprecedented dialogue between the sound and video works that Michael Snow has created for the Florence exhibition, it also aims to create a unique and original experience, broadcast online and for a virtual audience.

The works present at Base in Florence are: The video Snow in Vienna, lasting 34 minutes, by director Laurie Kwasnik which documents a rare piano concert that the artist held at the Wiener Konzerthaus in 2012 and of which he is particularly proud . Cityscape is the video, lasting 8.28 minutes and made in 2019, with which Snow focused on the horizon of his city (Toronto), amplifying, by means of new technologies, the camera movements - panoramic and rotation at speed different - already used in his 1971 film La Région Centrale. The aim is to activate an unprecedented perception of the skyline - also allowed by the soundtrack that emphasizes and gives rhythm to the camera movements - and refers to the powerful energy emanating from the modern city. Room is the 2.16-minute sound installation consisting of a composition performed by Snow in 2017 on the piano and then broadcast, for the first time, in an old barn for the Leve Festival in Spain. Finally, for the exhibition at Base the artist proposes a special manifesto / edition created by assembling the images of his concert in Vienna, thus giving the documentation a new presence capable of making people reflect on the importance of sharing the gesture of making music and art as if it were always the first time.

  Michael Snow: Newfoundlandings

Curated by Scott McLeod and circulated by Prefix ICA, this exhibition brings together four video installations by Michael Snow, one of Canada's most revered artists. As the exhibition title suggests, each of the presented works was produced on the west coast of Newfoundland, where the artist and his partner spend their summers among its cliffs, fields and coves. Unified by the omnipresence of the wind, the works also illustrate a number of Snow's enduring preoccupations - sound, duration, and wordplay, as well as the nature of the frame, the camera, and the photographic act itself. - visualartsnews

Michael Snow (b. 1929, Toronto) has been a key figure in experimental film and video installation for more than five decades. Also a painter, sculptor, and musician, his work is found in public and private collections around the world and documents a unique journey of investigation into perception and the artistic mediums of our time. As Snow himself has explained, "My paintings are done by a filmmaker, sculpture by a musician, films by a painter [...] sometimes they all work together." With an attitude of skepticism and wonder towards systems of visual representation of the world, Snow has experimented with multiple procedures for filming, editing, and projecting images. Closed Circuit will offer, exclusively at the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao, a montage of works from different periods where video is presented as an autonomous sensory channel with hardly a trace of human intention.

February 24th - April 22nd, 2018

  Michael Snow exhibition and concert at Culturgest, Lisbon
O Som da Neve / The Sound of Snow

The exhibition The Sound of Snow presents Michael Snow's film, video and sound work.

Michael Snow began playing piano professionally in jazz bands in the late 1940s. He was later involved with the development of free playing in Jazz, commissioning Albert Ayler and others to play on the soundtrack for his 1964 film New York Eye and Ear Control. Since the 1960's, he has been playing in free improvisation ensembles. In 1974, he co-founded Toronto's Music Gallery and the CCMC, which was the resident band until the early 2000's. CCMC has released numerous records, tapes and CDs, toured internationally and continues to perform. He has also composed music, sometimes for recorded media, such as Music for Piano, Whistling, Microphone and Tape Recorder (1975), The Last LP (1987) and for live performance, such as Hue Chroma Tint (1999) for the Burdocks Ensemble and EVE (2016) a solo piano work for Eve Egoyan. In 2000, a 3-CD box-set of selections of his recorded solo piano work was released as Snow Solo Piano Solo Snow - 3 Phases. Recently, he has given solo piano performances in Tokyo and in Vienna, which is the subject of a concert film entitled Snow In Vienna. A new orchestral composition will be premiered by the Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra in 2018.

  Philip Glass and Michael Snow opening night at the Winnipeg New Music Festival

Michael Snow's "Prophecy" at the Winnipeg New Music Festival

The New Music Festival commissioned Snow's first composition for orchestra, the World Premiere Prophecy.
This proved to be an outstanding work of conceptual art. The music began in darkness, with a dim light only on the evening's conductor, the WSO's Alexander Mickelthwate. A deep-pitched tone rose from the basses, and as the lights slowly revealed the orchestra, the steadily-rising tone was played by the cellos as the basses faded away, then the violas, and onward through the ensemble to end as the highest pitch played by the flutes. This was the purest of all minimalist music, concerned only with the voices of the instruments. There were no rhythms, no variations, just a steady flow as one group of players handed the music to the next. One idea, executed beautifully.
Mickelthwate said excitedly, "The most radical work I've ever conducted!"

They played, toured and recorded together for much of the next decade, and founded the original Music Gallery as a kind of laboratory of experimental music. Today the ensemble continues in both name and spirit as a quartet (Snow, Oswald, Kamevaar, Dutton) and will be joined by founding members (Kubota, Mattes and Anson) for a show at Gallery 345.

  Take Two: Reflecting on Toronto Filmmakers from 1965 to 1972.

Ryerson University School of Image Arts, Room 304
6:00pm - 9:30pm

Take Two, an event curated by the first cohort of the Film Preservation and Collections Management students at Ryerson University, surveys the emergence of independent filmmaking in Toronto between 1965 and 1972. The time period highlights the development of many distinct voices in both the artistic and student communities, which tended to cross-pollinate and inform each other. The goal of this event is to illustrate the context and development of these voices through two programs of short films, an exhibition of film ephemera from the time period, and a panel discussion with members of the artist and student communities, including Michael Snow, Raphael Bendahan, Betty Ferguson, Robert Fothergill, Rick Hancox, and Keith Lock.

Michael Snow: Photo-Centric
Conceived in close collaboration with Michael Snow - one of the most important experimental filmmakers of his generation. This exhibition is a focused survey of the Canadian artist's photography-based work, which has not been the subject of a solo museum exhibition in the United States since the 1970s.
Photo-Centric explores the intimate connections that exist between Snow's paintings, sculptures, and films as mediated by and through photography. Home to strong collections of modern and contemporary art, the Philadelphia Museum of Art is an ideal context for Snow and his work, which bridges the gap between modern and contemporary practices as well as illuminates concepts critical in the making and appreciation of art. Curated by Adelina Vlas

  The Last Line: Selected Cinema Works of Michael Snow
The WNDX curatorial collective is thrilled to be able to mark the Festival's eighth year with a set of film and video works by preeminent Canadian artist Michael Snow, and to have Snow in attendance. Curated by Irene Bindi
"One of Canada's most widely celebrated artists, Snow has worked concretely within a variety of disciplines throughout his career. Maintaining beginnings as a musician, his work has gone on to include painting, sculpture, photography, video, holography, performance, writing, and film. Despite these wide-ranging disciplines, he explores an astounding range of considerations without ever threatening to confuse his focus. Calling into question the modernist artist identity and the prescribed when and where of art production and presentation, Snow redefined, and continues to redefine the art experience. He is also regarded as one of the key figures in the development of experimental film, his work having influenced the direction of film art at many stages." Co-presented with Plug In Institute of Contemporary Art
