Synopsis

An astonishing series of unique collaborative image-text projects, Sentenced to Light privileges its poetic and formal textual space outside most of the images that are its original twins and offers the reader a glimpse of the dialectic of larger conversations, the unpredictable, improatory bavardage that whispers between words and pictures in a space we call ture. “Anecdotal Waters” is an invited response to a mixed-media installation by Mireille Perron and Paul Woodrow. “Artiations” was printed on a series of fifty paintings by Calgary artist Bev Tosh and incorporated in both an installation and a performance of the work. “All Americans” was serialized for an installation on the Minnesota of 1862. A biotext of landscape and memory, “Twain” consists of textual improations provoked by and situated alongside six poems that artist Marian Penner Bancroft applied directly to the walls among the photographs in her exhibition “By Land and Sea (Prospect and Refuge).” The alphabet of “jingo cards” was written for a collaborative performance piece with Vancouver multi-media artist Haruko Okano called “High Bridi Tea” that gestated years later into her jargon art project “Homing Pidgin.” “Pop Goes the Hood,” was written for a video-text performance commissioned from video artist Henry Tsang and poet Fred Wah. “Me Too” pays ghostly homage to the ual and textual work of Roy Kiyooka. The two “transcreations” are part of photographer Ernie Kroeger’s “Wild Writing” project that uses his photographically treated rubbings of the glyphs left by the Mountain Pine Beetle. The series of ppretenses (prose-poem sentences) was written for “Pays Maya,” a show of photographer Richard Baillergeon’s Yucatan images.
