PRESENTATION

Visions Underground is a daring presentation of experimental videos which will take place September 24, 25 & 26, 1998 at the Berri-UQAM subway station's Angrignon-bound platform which is frequented daily by more than 10,000 users. The event will take place in the context of the Journées de la Culture.

For most Montrealers, more than 30% of their daily experiences happen within transitory and impersonal spaces like the subway. Consistent with its nomadic philosophy, Champ Libre once agan inhabits another public space. A scenographic design will be specially conceived by the architect Stéphane Pratte, from the ATELIER IN SITU. Everyday the videos will be shown continuously between 11:20AM and 11:00PM.

VIDEO PROGRAMMING
Programming consists of more than forty national and international videographic works, each original in its content, with a maximum length of four minutes: the waiting period between two trains, time enough for a furtive glimpse and another look. The event will surprise the visual habits of the urban dweller.

PUBLICATION
Champ Libre will produce a free publication, available on site, which will bring together the video programming in its entirety, as well as original contributions from artists and intellectuals on the problematic of public art.
