In order to highlight its 10th anniversary, Studio XX invites the public 
to a performance night with Diane Landry (Québec) and Shawna Dempsey 
/Lorri Millan (Manitoba). Presented by the outstanding media artist 
Pascale Malaterre, those performances, very different from one to 
another, shows the several approaches that Studio XX support and encourage.


Diane Landry

Diane Landry (Quebec) Morse Alphabet Soup
This new performance from Diane Landry is an adaptation on an in-situ 
project presented at the Toronto's « Nuit Blanche » this september 2006. 
The artist will present a brand new performance developed via the 
complicity of light and lenses, forming an inspiring canvas of 
silhouettes, images and words within which the public will be able to 
circulate.
Multidisciplinary artist, Diane Landry creates performances, automated 
installations, sonic sculptures and new dynamic works. Her projects have 
been presented throughout Canada, the United States, in Mexico, in 
Argentina, France, Belgium, Germany, Poland and Sweden and are included 
in the permanent collection of the National Museum of Fine Arts in 
Quebec. Landry received her bachelor's degree in visual art from Laval 
University, she holds a master's degree in art from Stanford University 
in California.

Shawna Dempsey et Lorri Millan

Shawna Dempsey et Lorri Millan (Manitoba) Target Marketing
A piece called «Target Marketing», from the Winnipeg-based duo 
dempsey/millan will be performed by Shawna Dempsey in a costume which 
emulates the human target silhouette used by pistol marksmen. The text 
juxtaposes a media phenomenon (increased violence shown on the news) 
with a discussion on brain function.
In a collaboration that has spanned well over a decade, Winnipeg 
multi-disciplinary artists Shawna Dempsey and Lorri Millan have created 
a body of internationally acclaimed work that addresses feminist, 
lesbian, and social concerns with biting wit. Dempsey and Millan's 
controversial music video, We're Talking Vulva, represented Canada at 
the 3rd Istanbul Biennial, and has screened to an estimated audience of 
a million people, world-wide.
