Casting Call - open audition 10/18/08 Toronto, ON
Posted: September 30, 2008
CASTING CALL: A PERFORMANCE BY FIRST NATIONS ARTIST TERRANCE HOULE
Presented as part of the exhibition HOW: Engagements with the "Hollywood Indian," in conjunction with ImagineNATIVE, Trinity Square Video and A Space Gallery artist Terrance Houle's public performance, Casting Call, involves Aboriginal collaborators (amateur and no-ACTRA* professional) "auditioning" for roles in famous Hollywood westerns. Casting Call is reactionary to the Hollywood practice of casting white actors in "Indian" roles. Houle's performance not only undoes this convention, it humorously destroys the credibility of Hollywood stereotypes in the process.
