an INTERMEDIATE REVOLUTION / Vancouver art in the forefront
Michael de Courcy, 2011
From 1967-1972, Vancouver's Intermedia Society (a collective of artists, poets, dancers, musicians and film-makers) produced a groundbreaking series of exhibitions, performances and public interventions which put Vancouver in the international art spotlight. THE INTERMEDIATE REVOLUTION / Vancouver art in the forefront, is a video montage of Intermedia archival material, and music by the Al Neil Trio.
Michael de Courcy is a multi-disciplinary artist and community activist whose most recent public works include: The Intermedia Catalogue (a 2009 web-installation documenting the Intermedia Society's experiments, experiences and ideas from the point of view of its member-artists); and Dead and Buried: The Remapping of the Cemetery at Woodlands (a process of redress for the three thousand persons who are at present buried in unmarked graves in the former British Columbia Provincial Asylum site).
