CHAUD MAINTENANT (Hot Right Now) is a series of video programs organized by Galerie Galerie and presented both IRL and URL. Each edition brings together a wide range of video works selected through an open call, without a set theme beyond being recent and under ten minutes in length. The program takes shape directly from the submissions received, capturing the pulse of current practices and celebrating the experimental, free-form, and innovative spirit of video art.
For this 5th edition, the program brings together 18 works that explore internet culture, digital aesthetics, and the deconstruction of self-documentation, through narratives that are both personal and political.
This year, the program also draws from Vidéographe’s Vithèque, integrating two works from this collection to create a historical dialogue with video art and to situate contemporary explorations within a broader continuum.
Galerie Galerie would like to thank all the artists who accepted our invitation, as well as Vidéographe for the collaboration and the Conseil des arts de Montréal for its support.
