May 11 through June 19, 2009, Lane Cooper will be at Banff located in Alberta, Canada pursuing a self-directed residency through the Banff Centre. Her project, titled Notes on Derrida, will consist of video and written responses to Jacques Derridas writings including The Gift of Death, Specters of Marx and his last interview, Learning to Live Finally. The primary subject of Lanes project is the trace.
It is the phenomenological and human effects of Banffs environment that I will be recording. I will spend my time taking the opportunity to explore the Banff landscape. I am looking for mists, passing natural patterns, flickering light, the rustling of wind and the murmuring of passing conversations to collect and parse into epistletory fragments.
