Media X: Subversive Revolution is a compilation of video art that engages with, responds to, and sparks conversation about the infrastructures of the contemporary art world. The works included share and exchange opinions about issues relating to the inner workings of the arts scene including administration, curatorial practices, artist life, organizational identity, and the uncanny ability that administrators within the arts have for laughing at themselves.

The White Water Gallery will host the final screening of Media X: Subversive Revolution on February 14th at 8:30 pm. The two previous screenings were held in Toronto at gallerywest on November 9th and in Winnipeg at Video Pool on January 23rd.
This event is open to the public and refreshments will be served following the screening.
Participating Artists:
Daniel Barrow, Emily Baxter, soJin Chun, Chun Hua Catherine Dong, Clint Enns, Paul Freeman, Alexandra Gelis, Lee Henderson, Istvan Kantor, Barbara Meneley, Andrew James Paterson, Heidi Phillips, Evan Tyler, and Clayton Windatt
