It’s the last weekend to see Jacqueline Hoang Nguyen’s Space Fiction & the Archives, a project about comings and goings, co-habitation, and a UFO landing pad.
The two-faceted research project Space Fiction & the Archives is comprised of a film titled 1967: A People Kind of Place and an installation composed of archival material such as photographs, ephemera, and small sculptures. Through these works the artist investigates a forgotten monument built in the Canadian prairies that was erected as part of the Canada’s Centennary projects.

Just in case you didn’t see enough people being murdered by cars in Death Race 2000, Videology brings you even more vehicular homicide in the 1979 Australian classic Mad Max. Set in a dystopian future where oil supplies are limited and gangs of motorcycle maniacs set each other on fire, a lone policeman must seek revenge when his world is shattered by, what else, death by motorcycle. See an enraged 23 year-old Mel Gibson chew the scenery, in what is only his 2nd credited film role.
From the writer: “It’s fantasy-based story about the president, who is a werewolf, and who has halted the spinning of the moon, so the moon’s always full and he can stay in power. He’s deposed, and with the help of his friend, who is a talking horse, he tries to find his way back to the moon and to the source of his werewolf people. It’s very much a satire and a fantasy in a humorous way, about power and corruption and environmental themes. It’s a weird blend of puppet theater and kabuki theater.”
