Faith Moosang & Christoph Runné // The Blair Bush Project


  • Alternator Centre for Contemporary Art 421 Cawston Avenue (unit 103) Kelowna, BC, V1Y 6Z1 Canada (map)

Faith Moosang & Christoph Runné‘s The Blair Bush Project formed a representation of war, concentrated on the motivations that fuelled military and economic conflicts at the time, within the ever-changing alliances of international politics. 

Hand-processed, speed-manipulated 16 mm film looped imagery of a guard dog lapping water, a nuclear blast and an oil-filled nodding donkey blended with appropriated imagery from the movies Wall Street and MacArthur, and were projected on to a rotating screen. Audio of motors blended with the noise of the projectors to create a feeling of confusion and chaos. 


Faith Moosang is a multimedia artist, curator, writer and researcher who lives and works in Vancouver, BC.. Her work centres around inquiry into spectacle culture, media, mediated imagery and the mechanically reproduced image. She has an MFA from the School for Contemporary Art at Simon Fraser University and has expanded her practice to the realms of public art and curating contemporary art. She has also published books, articles and blogs relating to culture, pop culture, research, history and photography. Her research and writing have garnered awards and her specific passions are things archival, historical and political.

Christoph Runné is a Vancouver-based experimental film, video, and installation artist. Through his work, he explores the unhidden yet seemingly invisible world around us. He creates visual tone poems with a humanitarian heartbeat whose minimalist and impressionistic methodology contradicts the complex human conditions with which Runné engages.
