"Sighting/Citing/Siting "is a broad contextualization of an
interdisciplinary, cross-cultural performance entitled
Crossfiring/Mama Wetotan. Produced by Knowhere Productions Inc. at
the Claybank Brick Plant National Historic Site (Saskatchewan,
Canada) in 2006, this site-specific event explored the significance
of the Dirt Hills to pre-contact aboriginal culture and to the
non-aboriginals who have proliferated there since the
mid-nineteenth century. The negotiation between practise and
theory, in particular the desire to privilege neither, is
represented in the book's design; its collection of critical
articles, full-colour catalogue, and DVD of artist interviews and
performances describe the interaction of a range of site-specific
practises focusing on collaboration and interdisciplinarity.
This book is pertinent to those interested in non-conventional
performance, site-specific practise, post-colonial history, labour
history, cultural geography, and eco-tourism--and to all who
understand the beauty of the Canadian prairies. DVD included.
Highlights from the album include 'Wonderful' and 'The Greatest
Flame'. Lineup includes Donnie Munro (vocals, guitar), Malcolm
Jones (guitars, bagpipes, vocals), Rory MacDonald (bass, vocals),
Calum MacDonald (percussion, vocals), Iain Bayne (drums) and Peter
Wishart (keyboards). Chrysalis. 2005.
