Building upon the success of the inaugural Square Pegs last summer, Modern Fuel in collaboration with Downtown Kingston presents: Square Pegs II, an exciting program of short, experimental videos by local, national, and international artists. Join us on Wednesday, August 19th at dusk in the amphitheatre at the Market Square in downtown Kingston. There will be popcorn! This screening is an initiative of Modern Fuel’s New Media Workspace, which has the mandate of presenting, producing and promoting independent media production in Kingston.
The Land of Video Art
A place where beauty coupled with the complexities of desire becomes horrifying;
A place where your mother, or perhaps just a woman you know puffs a quick puff of her favorite vice as she drones her bleak, mortal honesty;
A place where you are trapped like a bug behind a lens that offers you a view you are at even and odds with;
A place where everyone is watching and everyone is being watched;
A place where otherworldly scientific experiments go awry;
A place where you,
Or I,
Try to understand but fall short;
A place of Square Pegs yet round holes.
