Ice Follies 2014

Ice Follies 2014 is almost here!

“Ohkwamingininiwug” in Ojibwe means “Ice People” and is the name of our 2014 winter program this season as it embraces the collaborative nature behind Ice Follies 2014.

For the Tenth Anniversary of Ice Follies, Near North Mobile Media Lab (N2M2L) is pleased to be presenting , in association with Nipissing University’s Department of Fine and Performing Arts, the 2013 laureate (Visual and Media Arts) of the Governor General’s Awards.

Monahan’s on-ice installation for Ice Follies 2014, will be the latest in a series of installations that he has completed across Europe, America, and Asia. After the installation is complete, Monahan will leave a sound-generating device that will provide an ethereal and aeolian sound experience for our visits to the vastness of frozen Lake Nipissing, from the opening reception on February 15th until mid-March.

Aside from Monahan’s installation, N2M2L will also be producing installations by regional contemporary-arts group, Aanmitaagzi, and a screening of performance artists from various Latin-American countries. This latter screening event will be held in N2M2L‘s 14-foot trailer, which will be parked out on the ice. This presentation is in support of the annual AluCine Latin American Film Festival in Toronto.

Bring the whole family and join us on Saturday, February 15th for the opening reception at 1:30pm. on frozen Lake Nipissing!
