ABOUT EDGES Do you realise the implication of the new school ? Do you realise the distinct danger of the ultra-modern facilities we have at our fingertips ? It's not a matter of technology be- ing greater than us, or, that tech- nology is to be feared, but that this new slickness we have embodied can embody us. A reversal. The beauty of our previous anony- mity of say Water or Cambie Streets was that it kept us in touch with an "edge". An “edge that was daring and energetic and perhaps perverse. Perv- ersity, now that we're well noticed and established, has become washed down. Explorations are tending to be within the bounds of the acceptable. I'm not saying this is bad...But I'm not saying that it's good. It's comf- ortable, like..."nice". With the isolation or semi-isolation of Water or Cambie Streets we knew we were being watched by people who have been there, who understood. Suddenly, now, it is..."hey, we're on tax-payers ground" or "Is this ALLOWED" paranoia. Suddenly it's “I-don't-know-whether-I -should". It's because the spotlight is on this tin shack, waiting for the masters of art to emerge with a degree or diploma at hand. The evolvement of ECCA from small time to bigger than small time creates another kind of "edge". This year's Foundation students are geing to be different. Instructors will have to face different aspects. That's expected. But a thing to be remembered is one's priority...is all this for Big Time Art or is it fora quality based education? Both are at ECCA so both can be embodied. "Edges" are the crux of our work. There can always be a daring quality, a challenging aspect within everything we do. But what about all this energy draining bureaucracy...What will it do to our work ? Will it be "nice" ? We can join the slickness and still become good artists or we can become a mediocrity without an edge. It's alla matter of equilibrium and balance.It's a decision between "hey, lookit-all-this -great-equipment” thinking, and, "hey, lookit-all-this-great-equipment-for-my -drawing..." Actually, "edges" are pretty nice. ! res A), 7 Emily Carr College of Art Film Society. The film society was started. this fall with student society funds. It was agreed to make this fall a trial period to see how response went. There are five films scheduled until Christmas - two have already been screened -— Pirosmani, an excellent film on a Russian artist, and Eraserhead. Posters for the next three film nights will be posted soon. There have been some problems with the night of the screening as room 260, the Art History seminar room, is booked so often and everyone has different ideas on the best evening. After Christmas, if all aoes well (the student society will be deciding whether to fund the Film Society further) we may make the screenings every week instead of every two weeks. If this is the case we will move the publicity out into the community. We would like to make the film society an alternative to second run theatres such‘as the Ridge and Savoy, and offer different programming from Cinemateque. We will be havina a big (we hope) meeting on programming for the sprina in early December, and anyone is welcome to come and give their ideas and suggestions to make the film society an exciting resource in the school . and city.
