SQUARE ZERO - La deuxième édition présentait douze interprètes et créateurs dans un programme qui explore le thème de la documentation. Alliant la performance, l’art visuel et la création d’objets, cette manifestation multi-disciplinaire a réuni des artistes qui s’interrogent sur les aspects pluriels de la documentation et examinent les empreintes, les marques et les cicatrices que notre vie laisse derrière elle.
With a sharpened focus on the process of collaboration, SQUARE ZERO — The Second Edition was a multi-disciplinary residency that brought together artists from Ottawa and beyond to create work around the common theme of "documentation".

Sonorienteering is a site-specific composition by Scott Thomson that has been commissioned by the Western Front, where he is composer-in-residence. The piece is one in Thomson's series of cartographic works in which the scores (which double as event programs) are based on maps. These works are composed for improvising performers -- typically musicians but occasionally dancers -- and delineate where to play, when to play, and often with whom to play while leaving what to play up to these

skilled collaborators. He is composing Sonorienteering for about a dozen performers, including musicians Kate HammettVaughn, Steve Bagnell, Peggy Lee, Coat Cooke, JP Carter, Stefan Smulovitz, Viviane Houle, Carol Sawyer, Meredith Bates, and dancers Julie Lebel and Jennifer Clark, who will perform it in the Mt. Pleasant neighbourhood

around the Western Front as part of the SWARM Festival, 10 September, 7pm. http://www.front.bc.ca/ - 303 East 8th Avenue, Vancouver.
