Modern Fuel’s New Media Workspace, in collaboration with both Feb Fest and artignite, is proud to present a free outdoor screening of Aubrey Reeve’s film/video installation, Glide, in Market Square. Glide is a looping side-by-side dual-screen installation that meditates on ice-skating as a personal experience of alchemy. It is a perfect match for Feb Fest activities and the skating rink at Market Square.

For Culture Days, Modern Fuel has coordinated an artist talk in association with the two-person exhibition entitled "Homelands" (at Modern Fuel from Sept. 18 - Oct. 23, 2010) which pairs the drawing and installation works of Dagmara Genda and Marigold Santos.

As part of Art After Dark, downtown Kingston’s exciting gallery tour, Modern Fuel is presenting a dynamic program of videos produced by artists Sarah DeCarlo, Bear Thomas and the youth of the Katarockwi Native Friendship Centre during this summer’s Voice Off workshops.
