Île-sans-fil qnd studio xx present: the free sugar salon
November 17th at 7-9 PM experience Maria
Legault performative action: This sweet performance will be documented and segments of the resulting video will be displayed on the portal page of the Ile Sans Fil wireless network hosted by XX. Maria's Free Sugar Salon at XX is one of the performances featured on the Ile Sans Fil network http://www.ilesansfil.org as part of In-Site, a site-specific art exhibition on Ile Sans Fil portal pages curated by Michelle Kasprzak http://michelle.kasprzak.ca and presented with the support of Year Zero One. http://www.year01.com. This project will be fully launched at selected Ile Sans Fil hotspots in January, 2006. FREE SUGAR : maria legault I love staring at a beautiful face and unveiling a scar on the person's chin. I am drawn to holes in walls and cracks on sidewalks. I like bodily orifices and existential voids. Cracks are zones of transgression. FREE SUGAR is a multiform ongoing project that dwells on these zones of interstice, these existential voids, and these holes. It is an ongoing project which draws attention to holes by pretending to repair them. Since my interest lies in futility rather then permanence, my technique of choice is to fill these holes using pink icing and pink pudding. _Île Sans Fil is a non-profit community group devoted to providing free public wireless internet access to mobile users in public spaces throughout Montreal, Canada. We use open source software and inexpensive commercial WIFI equipment to share broadband internet connections. Users can use the internet in certain areas, or hotspots, if they have laptops equipped with a WiFi card. We work with cafes, stores, community organizations, and individuals to make internet access freely available in public spaces. We believe that technology can be used to bring people together and foster a sense of community. In pursuit of that goal, Ile Sans Fil uses it's hotspots to promote interaction between users, show new media art, and provide geographically- and community-relevant information. Studio XX is proud to be an île-sans-fil hotspot. As part of our ongoing commitment to increased access to communication technologies we were pleased to be asked to host a hotspot for our community. As an artist run centre dedicated to furthering the production and dissemination of women’s work, we are equally pleased to host Maria Legault and her project.
