7 pm////February 13th, 15th, 17th, 21st, 23rd, & 25th: 2010
VIVO////1965 Main Street, Vancouver
the Evening News is a series of six forums happening as a part of VIVO 2010: Safe Assembly. Each evening will lean upon the experiences, observations, footage, and art of residents, media activists, and artists living around Vancouver for citizen’s “reports” on everyday life in the province, direct action and protest, and other transitory and lasting social effects of the megaevent. By asking the Vancouver Media Coop, the ORN, various local organizers, researchers, activists, and cultural workers to think through these associations during the Olympics the idea is to create an archive of community response that shapes dialogue and enables unique distributions of critique. With an understanding that the meaning of the Winter Olympics is much of what is at stake, the hope is to facilitate coherence amidst critical political and cultural communities.
If you have footage, work, or information that you would like to contribute to the conversation please bring the material to VIVO from 4-6 any day between February 13th and 25th, or email us at eveningnews.vivo2010@gmail.com. For information about other programming happening as a part of VIVO 2010: Safe Assembly, and/or to sign up for email notifications about the project, follow the VIVO link to the right!

I will be reporting from my look-out at Main & Hastings as I have done since July 2007. My three year documentary/photography practice is coming to a close and this Five Ring Circus will certainly provide a highlight to the arc. It will be in the denouement/post-mortem that the real work will be done. I am not sure how I can participate outside of being present at Safe Assembly. Although I have been documenting and recording my observations since 2007, I have only been posting on-line since 01 January 2010. Please let me know if it is obvious where I might best contribute. I am very excited about participating in this event with VIVO.
