Roadsworth: Crossing The Line

52 McCaul is pleased to present, in conjunction with Loaded Pictures, Roadsworth: Crossing The Line, a documentary detailing the Montreal artist’s clandestine campaign to make his mark the on the city streets.

Hailed as an “artist’s artist” by Wooster Collective, Roadsworth began to play with the language of the streets, overlaying city asphalt markings with his own images: a crosswalk becomes a giant boot print, vines choked up traffic dividers and electrical plugs filled parking spots. Each piece begs the question, Who owns public space? As he is prosecuted at home and celebrated abroad, Roadsworth struggles to defend his work, define himself as an artist and address difficult questions about art and freedom and expression.

Directed by Alan Kohl
Running time: 72 minutes

Skateboarders helping Haiti.

Our good friends at Control Skateboards are doing their part to help Haiti and we're helping spread the word.


For immediate release:

St-Nicolas, Qc January 18th 2010 --In an attempt to come to the aid of the people who are suffering in Haiti in the aftermath of a violent earthquake that brought death and destruction to the country last week we have decided to release a special edition skateboard. 100% of the proceeds from the sale of these boards will go to the people of Haiti via the Canadian Red Cross - Quebec division, c/o Fabienne Laisné, 6, Place du Commerce, Verdun (Quebec) H3E 1P4. This board will go on sale across Canada within the next 2 weeks. This board is made out of 100% hardrock Canadian maple at the Control Manufacture in St-Nicolas Qc Canada. The project however is from our sales team. We will use all the contacts we have built over the last 15 years to reach out to all shops, brands and skaters across Europe, Canada, USA and South America that currently buy boards from us.

Not a penny will be kept of the proceeds, everything we make is going to Haiti.

The Canadian Red Cross Society is a non-profit, humanitarian organization dedicated to improving the situation of the most vulnerable in Canada and throughout the world.

We also encorage you to make a direct donation to the Red Cross. Here is the toll free number: (800) 363-7305

" The L stands for LOVE "

I'LL TEACH YOU HOW TO BE GOOD.

Frustration and communication, Images and Inefficiency, Hopelessness and the process by which we create; only a few of the messages conveyed in the vast array of work shoveled out by Brian Rideout. In his very first Toronto solo exhibition, Rideout is on the attack, attempting the impossible and making it look effortless. Discovering and conveying some very basic truths about humanity, himself, and the things one does and contributes to the world. Rideout sees his paintings as still lifes, as studies, investigating the ideas and concepts that surround everyday life and the thought provoking/wholly changing realizations and understandings one has about the function of humanity. Contextualizing his efforts to evoke specific meaning that at first glance seems devoid and juvenile in its outright caddy playfulness, Rideout intends his work to have an aggressive and fearless accessibility that's entry point will encourage the viewer to re-play and re-observe.

Rideout's eye is fixed and it sees a living apocalypse, over-run by the pop and the consumable, never able to escape a history written by people adored for being dead or dying. Honesty is his tool for representation and without it Rideout feels lost, this is how he survives amongst the ocean of over-stimuli that is the landscape of an excessive and superfluous new world.

Mixing sculpture, painting, and drawing, Brian Rideout's new body of work speaks specifically to his frustration with the structures that have recently established a contemporary history of painting and visual culture - the now inefficient nature of communicating with images. Settling his work within the context of pop culture and the everyday, Rideout's reading of his productions is suggestive in nature, like trying to picture the two worlds of boxing and painting having a fling (a straight-up unabashed fling) that's working and struggling to create 'sport' and coming out easily interpreted as frivolous and gratuitous . Much like seeing violence in sports, like boxing, and relating it to the lack of apparent reason, cause, or justification of art making. The desire to create new meaning in a world seemingly devoid of it is Rideout's pathos.

Brian Rideout is a New Jersey born, Canadian resident that graduated from Georgian College in 2007 with a focus in drawing and painting. Soon after moving to Toronto in the summer of 2008 he was the recipient of the prize for best painter at the Toronto Out Door Art Exhibition.
