Film Screening for Governor Generals Awards in Visual and Media Arts

Join us for a screening of films highlighting the work of Clive Robertson, introduced by Tomas Jonsson.

Society of the Spectacle, Directed by Roxy Farhat & Göran Hugo Olsson 2023, 90 mins

Clive Robertson: Rhetoric on the Run, 1983, 4:50 min

In Society of the Spectacle, Guy Debord’s prophetic theory from nearly six decades ago is interrogated by radical thinkers and interpreted through a mosaic of contemporary consumer spectacles.

Recognizing Clive Robertson’s role as part of a broad and varied network of critically engaged artists and cultural producers, this screening is supported by the University of Regina and explores and celebrates critical engagement by artists.

This program is presented as part of the Governor General’s Arts Awards exhibition, now on at the MacKenzie Art Gallery.
