This exhibition is programmed by and presented in conjunction with the 22nd Images Festival, 2-11 April 2009. For more information please visit www.imagesfestival.com.

InterAccess is pleased to present And Then There Were None, an exhibition featuring the works of two Berlin-based artists; Canadian Larissa Fassler and German Richard Schütz. Both artists transform the way in which we experience public space and speak to ideas of travel and movement, examining the complex relationships that individuals have with communal space that can be at once inclusive and isolating.

Please join us on Friday, April 3 at 8pm for a special opening reception. The artists and curator will be present. Then, join us for Move it! The Images After-party in our studio! Packed like the Yonge subway line at 8:30 Monday morning, this always-popular party will help kick off both the InterAccess exhibition and the Images Festival, showcasing contemporary moving image culture. Featuring scenes from Speed, Speed 2, Driving Miss Daisy, Planes, Trains and Automobiles, and Snakes on a Plane (and so much more!).

On Saturday, April 4, at 4pm, please join Fassler, Schütz and Curator Rogerson at InterAccess for Talk to the Pie, for hearty discussion and a tasty treat.

And Then There Were None looks at movement either by foot or car, leading to the discussion of the public experience of the everyday, social isolation, structure and our place in it. Fassler's Alexanderplatz is a model-like replica of a the Berlin U Bahn pedestrian underground system, prompting the viewer to reconsider a familiar, if not iconic space, and Schütz's hypnotic video Blind Trip takes the viewer on a visual and auditory journey that mimics the landscape through a carefully crafted, dissonant soundscape.
