Overtime for Oil
June 16, 2016
"As climate change becomes increasingly visible, the cultural expression of this crisis is critical. The shift to sustainability is a cultural as well political
and economic issue. It requires that we change how we see the world."
Carole Condé + Karl Beveridge
With another NHL season drawing to a close - in the heat of mid-June - join us for an event inspired by the collision of hockey culture and climate change, as depicted in Condé and Beveridge's work Overtime (2016), now showing in the Public Exposures exhibition at 401 Richmond.
At OVERTIME FOR OIL some different strategies for cultural resistance to corporate oil will be examined and discussed with Brenda Longfellow and collaborator, Glen Richards.
Featuring for your consideration:
Comedian, author and political activist Robert "Rob" Newman's delightful and wickedly funny, one man show THE HISTORY OF Oil (video of a live performance).
Excerpts from 'While London Burns' an audio walking tour of London's web of oil.
Brenda Longfellow's 'Carpe Diem', a short operetta featuring a two headed fish and Texas oil men on there way to Fort McMurray and an intro tour to 'Offshore' an
interactive web doc concerning the horrors of Offshore oil and the Gulf of Mexico's BP disaster
Time: 8:00 p.m. - 10:00 p.m.
