ABOUT THE EXHIBITION
Bettina Forget plays with the concept of semantic tension in her series of videos titled "Forever - Change | Change - Forever". For example the word ‘forever’ is spelled out in matches and set alight; the word ‘change’ reveals itself in shifting sands.

ABOUT THE MONTREAL ALL-NIGHTER EVENT
Starting at the Montreal All-Nighter and running until February 20, 2010, the artist is screening her videos like a series of election campaign ads and is turning the Visual Voice Art Gallery into a voting office. Visitors to the gallery are invited to cast their vote for either ‘forever’ or for ‘change’ - leaving it entirely open what
these evocative words mean to each person who participates in this poll.
Join in and weigh in: forever - or change?

February 27 - March 20, 2010
Vernissage / Montreal All-Nighter:
Saturday, February 27, 2010, 8:00 pm until
