SUMMARY:Traces
DESCRIPTION:Exhibit Dates\nThursday\, January 7\, 2016 to Sunday\, March 6\, 2016 \nReception date & time\nThursday\, January 7\, 7:00pm \nDescription\nFor the solo exhibition Traces\, Ottawa-based multidisciplinary artist Christos Pantieras brings together five of his existing series\, all of which explore\, appropriate\, and recontextualize the remnants of everyday human practices. \nPantieras’ work seamlessly combines contemporary cultural obsessions with preservation methods of the past. Carbon paper\, analogue photography\, molded cement as a surrogate for carved stone; traditional materials are reanimated by Pantieras’ hand to channel comparatively recent conversations with friends and lovers\, with family\, and sometimes with the self. Not only intimate\, these are also inherently ephemeral dialogues that would otherwise be lost to the march of time and to the fundamental impossibility of archiving everything we do. \nWithin the context of The ArQuives –a repository for both the monumental and mundane narratives that trace Canadian queer history– Pantieras’ dual focus on the past and present\, the forgotten and the remembered\, the intangible and the tangible\, is especially meaningful. By concretizing queer narratives both literally and figuratively\, and by monumentalizing the seemingly small and insignificant\, Christos Pantieras’ work implores us not to forget. It asks us to view the past and the present as a continuum\, and to reconnect our meaningful human actions to the traces they leave behind. \nBiographies:\nChristos Pantieras is a multidisciplinary artist who works in sculpture\, installation\, photography\, and mixed media. His practice explores the frailty of personal connections and the humanism that is lost when interacting online. He received a BFA from the University of Ottawa (1996) and an MFA from York University (2015). Pantieras has received grants from the Ontario Arts Council and the City of Ottawa. Select exhibitions include The Ottawa Art Gallery\, Modern Fuel ARC\, White Water Gallery\, and the Luminato Festival.

SUMMARY:We Could Be Heroes (Just For One Day)
DESCRIPTION:Exhibit dates:\nThursday\, March 24\, 2016 to Sunday\, May 22\, 2016 \nReception date & time: \nThursday\, March 24\, 7:00pm \nDescription: \n“We could be heroes\, just for one day. We could be us\, just for one day.”\n– David Bowie \nLGBTQ+ communities and community-based archives have long searched for ‘gay heroes’ to showcase both queer existence and accomplishment across time and space. In “We Could be Heroes (Just for One Day)\,” Toronto photographer Tania Anderson turns this traditional search for heroes on its head. Through a series of fourteen portraits\, she highlights diverse Toronto-based artists and activists who are rarely celebrated for their contributions to queer communities. Tania says of the exhibit that she wishes to honour queer activists who have done the hard work and are not always visible or well-recognized. Not typical documentary portraits\, the lush and aesthetic images are intimate and vulnerable\, revealing Tania’s ongoing connections and relationships with the people she photographs. In the exhibit\, the photographs are accompanied by four audio visual pieces that speak in detail to these connections and relationships\, as well as to the image making process. \nFar from attempting to create a definitive collection of images of heroes for the Toronto queer community\, Tania recognizes that the concept of who gets to be a ‘hero’ at any given time is constantly changing. This body of work recognizes the shifting and contingent concepts of heroism that adapt to the social\, political\, and representational needs of the moment in ever-evolving queer communities and social movements.

SUMMARY:Tape Condition: degraded
DESCRIPTION:Exhibit dates: \nThursday\, June 16\, 2016 to Friday\, September 23\, 2016 \nReception date & time: \nThursday\, June 16\, 7:00pm \nVHS\, queer porn and digital histories at The ArQuives \n Description:\nTape Condition: degraded is an immersive installation and community digitization station that engages with The ArQuives’s collection of more than 3\,000 VHS tapes\, about one-third of which are porn. From commercially produced movies\, to homemade tapes and hand-dubbed compilations\, these cassettes are vital records of the archives’ role in preserving and protecting queer desires\, sexual subcultures\, and the pleasures of collecting.  As VHS tapes age and degrade\, what kinds of digital strategies might bring the histories they record into the present? How might digital interventions broaden\, diversify\, or queer the kinds of bodies\, pleasures\, and identities the archives collects? \nThroughout the summer\, a working digital transfer station will be situated in an immersive installation designed to evoke The ArQuives of the 1980’s—the heyday of both VHS and Canadian police censorship of queer porn. Hidden behind a “false wall” that references the archives’ attempts to protect the porn collection from police raids in the 1980s\, this station will be staffed by a technician and available for community-use on select days throughout the summer. New video work by Aidan Cowling titled Landscapes of Infinities will screen on a loop within the installation. \nA publication with essay\, drawings by Hazel Meyer\, comic by Morgan Sea\, and “Dream Tape” archival interventions written by 11 queer and trans artists and activists available online and in print. Publication Designed by Cecilia BerKovic. Dream Tape Contributors: Anthea Black\, Derek McCormack\, Ginger Brooks Takahashi\, Guillermina Buzio\, jes sachse\, Jessica Karuhanga\, Kiley May\, Morgan M Page\, Nica Ross\, Nick Matte\, Syrus Marcus Ware. \nA series of public programs throughout the summer will invite artists\, activists\, porn makers and scholars to think about VHS\, porn collecting\, and digital histories at the archives: \nDigitize your Tape\nDigitize your VHS tape (free) at The ArQuives. Make an appointment by completing this form: http://goo.gl/forms/cFXvB4EH68. Email mckinneycait@gmail.com for questions. \nJune 16\, 7pm\nOpening Party at The ArQuives\, 34 Isabella Street\, 2nd Floor\nRemarks and Digitization Demo at 8pm \nJuly 8\, 2016\, 7:30pm – Midnight\nArtist Talk and Party at Buddies in Bad Times\, 12 Alexander Street \n7:30pm: Performance Lecture by Cait McKinney and Hazel Meyer \n9pm: VJ Party with tapes from The ArQuives collection\, Nica Ross and Ginger Brooks Takahashi \nAccessibility Note: The second-floor gallery space of The ArQuives building at 34 Isabella is unfortunately not currently wheelchair accessible; the building’s elevator broke this year and is being rebuilt. All public programming events for this show will be held either on the first floor of The ArQuives (accessible by ramp at back of building) or in off-site accessible venues. Documentation and a take-away publication are also available. \nBiographies:\nHazel Meyer is an interdisciplinary artist who works with installation\, performance\, and textiles to investigate the relationships between sport\, sexuality\, feminism\, and material culture.

SUMMARY:El Satario: Screening and Discussion
DESCRIPTION:The ArQuives: Canada’s LGBTQ2+ Archives and the Cinema Studies Institute at the University of Toronto are excited to co-sponsor a screening and discussion of El satario on Thursday\, May 6 at 4PM Eastern Time on Zoom. Please note that registration is required\, and space is limited. We anticipate a large audience. This event will be recorded. \nEl satario is widely considered the oldest extant pornographic film. It is rumored to have been produced in Argentina between 1907 and 1912 – though its exact date and place of production are unknown. For the first time\, three different prints of El satariohave surfaced in a single location: Toronto\, Canada. Until now\, none of these prints have been available for scholarship. Last year\, The ArQuives: Canada’s LGBTQ2+ Archives discovered a previously unknown print in its collection. Meanwhile\, two prints\, previously known to collectors\, have been donated to the Mark S. Bonham Centre’s Sexual Representation Collection at the University of Toronto. Sponsored by The ArQuives and the Cinema Studies Institute at the University of Toronto\, this event will screen The ArQuives’ print of El satario and bring together three scholars of early Latin American cinema and visual culture to examine the film’s social\, cultural\, and technical context\, and the mysterious circumstances of its production\, circulation\, and reception. \nDiscussants: \nCarolina Cappa is an audiovisual archivist and media professor. She has just published “Nitrato argentino\, una historia del cine de los primeros tiempos” (Argentine nitrate\, an early cinema history)\, a book and an open access website for the preservation and research about early Argentinian film. She worked as a film preservation specialist at the Museo del Cine “Pablo Ducrós Hicken” (Argentina) for over a decade and was head of the film archive at Cinemateca Boliviana (Bolivia).

SUMMARY:Three Old Queers - A Queers in Your Ears Event
DESCRIPTION:When the Toronto-based storytelling collective Queers in Your Ears (QIYE) was founded in 1997\, telling personal stories about the varied experiences of being LGBTQ2S wasn’t anywhere near as common as it is today. In the 25 years since this innovative group of storytellers first came together\, there have been sweeping changes to the landscape of what it means to be queer but QIYE knows how important it is to preserve our experiences – good and bad – and to keep telling our stories.\n\nTo mark our 25th anniversary\, QIYE is collaborating with the ArQuives to create a virtual exhibition of memorabilia associated with our performance history that will be launched in October 2021 but we hope you’ll join us on Wednesday\, June 23rd from 7:30-9:30 pm for the first of a series of concerts that QIYE will be presenting this year.\n\n\n\n“Three Old Queers” will showcase the stories of Rico Rodriguez\, founder of QIYE\, long-time member Jeffrey Canton\, and educator and activist Tim McCaskell.\n\n\n\nThe event is free but registration is required. Register HERE.
