About a week ago my mum came to visit me at school. We ended up visiting the Agnes Etherington Art Centre which is an art gallery right in the middle of the Queen's University campus, whose claim to fame is the fact that they display not one but two Rembrants side by side. While these are truly spectacular, I was more taken with a new installation by Harun Farocki: one image doesn't take the place of the previous one. In my favourite part of this Exhibit, called Workers Leaving the Factory in Eleven Decades, multiple televisions were set up along the floor of the room with corresponding headphones available. All televisions played a clip from a different era depicting workers leaving a factory including Charlie Chaplin and even Bjork and Peter Stormare. Another, Dubbing replays Robert DeNiro's famous "You Talkin' To Me" scene from Taxi Driver over and over again in multiple languages. This is exhibit is well worth the $4 (adult) or free admision (student) if you are in Kingston or looking to kill time on campus.
