Colette Urban: Recalling Belvedere
Robert Bean & Colleen O'Neill

Recalling Belvedere is a performance and film installation exploring the artist's attachment to the landscape and culture of Newfoundland. Its social structure, its extended community, and its memory serve as reminders that Newfoundland was once a proud matriarchal society before European colonisation.

The Performance Sites of Colette Urban
Helga Pakasaar, Betsy Coulter & John Massier

Publication of a retrospective exhibition of Urban's key performances over the past several years. Social commentary disguised as burlesque, Urban's practice is part of a long history of artists inserting themselves into everyday life to provoke reactions from unsuspecting passers-by. Pieces like Consumer Cyclone are performed at a shopping centre and collapse distinctions between spectator and performer, enabling her to make her point much more powerfully. Three essays discuss a wide range of topics including Urban's intentions, her elaborate mise-en-scene and the intrinsic difficulty in documenting such ephemeral work.
