One particular stride towards innovation was captured in the ceremonial torch relay. Rather than being transported on foot as per tradition, the Olympic Flame was electronically transmitted via satellite from Athens to Ottawa by means of an electronic pulse derived from the eternal flame. In Ottawa, the signal was transformed into a laser, which then ingnited a torch that was carried by hand to Montreal. We propose to transport a flame from the site of the first nuclear reactor built for commercial use in the United States in Shippingport, PA to an exhibition at the Society for Arts and Technology in Montreal, QC. Rather than simply restaging the 1976 relay, our collaboration seeks to collapse the distances between the context of the Montreal Olympics and this artifact of the atomic age as a way to reinterpret their inherent utopian ideologies and access their entropic potential.

It was in a little sack tied onto the steering linkage.’ In 1991 Harpers Magazine wrote: 'While we have been arguing so fiercely about [what] makes the best medicine, the patient has been slipping deeper and deeper into a coma.' ISSUE/02: MEDICINE is an unbound collection of printed matter and other work concerned with ideas of the body, illness, health, physicality and spirituality. MEDICINE incorporates video work from Brendan Reed, Jason Harvey, and Michael Leach, written work from Craig Fahner, Tess Edmonson, and Willie Brisco in conversation with AA Bronson, and a collection of printed matter and visuals from Maryanne Casasanta, Stacey Ho and Lindsey Nolan, Dan Joyce, Matthew King, Pierre Le Hors, Adam O’Reilly, The Parker Branch (Jason Hallows/Anna Madelska), Nikholis Planck, Xenia Benivolski and William Young. All pieces are individually packaged in acid-free paper and collected in a handmade archival folder. Contact us for more information.
