CJ2 The CITIZEN, OTTAWA SATURDAY, AUGUST 2, 1986 mm i Dpfls GEafiGirfiannninniGinifi Visual Luck "When we did the play in Stratford in 1978, Robin (Phillips) cut out part of the curse so that we wouldn't have bad luck," says MacGregor. "I have actually seen actors turn white at the very mention of the play. I can't stand to have the name mentioned when I'm in the theatre, although I'm not so superstitious about it outside the theatre." From page C1 story: Bad luck A A.

LANSDOWNE PARK PRESENTS: "The technology we live with is based on light and yet we usually think of light in only the most banal way. I hope people who come to the show will be encouraged to try new things, maybe with equipment they already own cameras, slide projectors, video tapes, light bulbs, because they've been influenced by what these artists do," Gosselin said. In addition to having those technical possibilities broadened, viewers will also be made aware of the manipulation of light, of the source of images we have come to consider as "real" and the ventriloquist's trick behind that reality of making people, things, and ideas live by casting images of light.

The exhibition is open from noon- 7 p.m., Wednesday through Sunday.

Admission $4.50. Students, children 12 and under and senior citizens $2.50 materials and how intrinsically beautiful some of the classic experiments are. His argument holds when his piece is compared with the vulgar pulsating neon work by Bruce Nauman showing gay men making love. Among the most interesting pieces in the show are site-specific works, which take advantage of the particular space in the shopping plaza to make the viewer aware of how pervasive, fundamental and unexamined our use of light is. Juan Geuer created Passage Heuristique to invite the viewer to investigate the relationship between three plexiglass reflectors he has put upstairs, downstairs and outside the building so that when a person stands in the stairwell light becomes polarized and his face is bathed in magenta and greenish tones.

As Geuer demonstrates the artists in this show literally paint with light. And that premise that light is both subject matter and the very material of contemporary art is explored in a multitude of ways. Prom page C1 story: Pleasing colors, pretty shapes light up Montreal show patterns of interference present in aiologram and gradually understands how her own perspective, her willingness to accept where she chooses to view it from, creates the reality of a particular moment. Jung's work like other pieces in the show, notably Tod Siler's projection, draws attention to the metaphysical relevance of physical phenomena. Both artists are currently working at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and are as interested in science as in art.

The two disciplines operate in tandem in this show. Chris Burden has even gone so far as to recreate the original 19th century experiment for measuring the speed of light. The rationale for displaying a piece that is virtually a scientific ready-made, Burden says, is to show how sophisticated studies can be made with rudimentary Macbeth, when an actor tripped backstage and was fatally stabbed on his leading lady's knitting needles. That's not the only disaster associated with Macbeth, universally considered the unluckiest play in the theatre since it was written and first performed in 1606. Productions of Shakespeare's darkest play have been plagued by deaths, injuries, illness, lost voices, and financial disaster for 380 years (although it should be noted that this season's production of the play at Stratford has proceeded without incident touch wood).

To help guard against the evil of Macbeth, actors never refer to it by name or quote passages from the play, except in rehearsal. It is usually known as "The Scottish Play," "That Unmentionable Play," or by a pet name (MacGregor often calls it The "curse of Macbeth" is fuelled by the fact that the play contains an actual witches' spell (the "Fillet of a fenny snake" was a touch of authenticity added to please James who was very interested in witchcraft).
