Sound on soun
as art

OTTAWA (CP) — The
idea that art consists of not
much more than painted
pictures hanging in a
gallery or stone carvings in
a garden is being torn apart
by a new show at the

ational Gallery called
Another Dimension.

The exhibit, which opens
on Friday and is to remain
until Dec, ll, includes new
sound, light and motion
artworks by four Canadians
who have established a
mark in the art world.

The show will include the
latest works by Ian Carr-
Harris and Michael Snow of
Toronto, Murray Favro of
London, Ont., and Norman
White, who now lives in
Westboro, Mass. These will
go on a national tour next
year, for displays in London,
Ont., Lethbridge, Calgary
and Vancouver.

Mayo Graham, assistant
curator of contemporar
Canadian art at the Nation
Gallery, conceived the show
to demonstrate that art has
more dimensions than
length, width and depth.

“There is more to art than
the static dimensions,” he
said in an interview. ‘‘There
isi sound and motion and
energy, even the energy of

‘ormance, and motion in
ts broadest sense.’”

Carr-Harris, for instance,
is showing still and motion-
picture projectors and
projections, and Snow’s
works include a television
camera mounted on a de-
vice to make it revolve in
several directions, scanning
everything around it.

SCULPT WITH SOUND
Snow's new work is a kind
of sound sculpture. He is
recording the tock-tock
sound of a metronome and

re-recording it from several
locations to get a mixture of
natural sounds surrounding
it.

Norman White, a biologist
and self-taught electronics
expert, is working on a
devicecum-computer which
will emit sound patterns
which change depending on
the people near it.

Murray Favor’s sculp-
tures include his 1972-73
Synthetic Lake, a con-
struction of canvas and
wood driven by an electric
motor on which a film is
projected, and several
pieces mainly constructed
of wood interpreting a
windmill, an airplane and
his new perpetual motion
machine.

White was asked how his
latest electronic invention
relates to art.

“It's an exploration of
perception, and a person’s
perception of what he sees is
certainly very much related
to art,"” White said.

Mayo Graham says in the
exhibition catalogue that the
last decade or two ‘have
brought new dimensions
into the vocabulary. of
sculpture: light,
movement and time.

“Where works of the
earlier 20th century more
often implied these further
dimensions, recent works
have actually employed
them.”

While the exhibit is on
display here, the National
Gall will also run an
extensive program of lec-
tures, films and. new music,
including performances by
the Nihilist Spasm Band
from London, Ont., for

which artists have designed
and made some _in-
struments.

Interpreting the news

| Israel’s arms growth may force
Arabs to use oil weapon

WASHINGTON (CP) —A
statistics-laden article in a

8
Magazine has renewed the
tically-sensitive debate

over US, arms shipments to

Israel.

The article, by
Cordesman in
Forces Journal, presents a
strong argument that Israel
is well on the way to over-
whelming military superi-
ority in the Middle East.

Both the timing of the
article and its implications
may have far-reading
impact on the Middle East
situation. ;

In late November, Israeli
Defence Minister Ezer
Weizman is to arrive in
Washington with a long
weapons shopping list. Dip-
lomats are also approaching
a decisive period in efforts
to convene a’ Middle East
peace conference.

If the. United States -

continues a heavy flow of

the mounting evidence that
Israel has far more than it
needs for defence, there are

Israel’s enemies may be Europe that were depleted

FACES DIFFICULTIES

Yet President Carter
would face severe political
difficulties in any attempt to
check U.S. arms shipments
to Israel.

- When Gen. George Brown,
chairman of the U.S. joint
chiefs of staff, said a year
ago that in strictly mili

Pollution spawns a different kind of fisherman

LONDON, Ont. (CP) —
The pollution of Ontario’s
rivers and streams inspired
Helmut Mundt to turn to fish

that his endeavors will pay

off.

“Half of the fish in the
Great Lakes are ‘banned,’’
he said in an interview.

At one point, the stock-

and 147 artillery pieces

Canadians weré told they were entering a ‘new era” as
Queen Elizabeth opened Parliament with the Speech from
the Throne Oct.16.

“Tt can bean era of increasing division, or an era of
enhanced freedom. Fundamentally the choice must be
made by every citizen every day,” said the Queen...

New economic realities and the urgency of promoting

inguistic harmony are perhaps keystones to this year’s
outline of the government's intended legislation. There is

also a hint that government intends to give special con-
sideration to prioritiesf regions in Canada as well as
provinces, and this could have positive meaning for our
area.

_ Included in the outline is government intention to “im.
prove the national transportaion system” through, for
example, new ports legislation “which will enhance local
autonomy and maintain overall national interest.”

The government will encourage exploration in the Artic
and c out the pipeline agreement with the United
States. The speech indicated that the northern gas pipeline
will likely be one of the largest civil engineering projects in
the world, and will benefit Canada through jobs, in-
vestment, purchase of materials and eventually, easier and
cheaper accéss to northern gas reserves. The government
will also regualte northern development in the Yukon to
ensure pipeline construction does not predjudice native
rights. —-

The government indicated intention to increase Canada’s
food producing patential; help the provinces to become self
reliant in energy, and enhace Canad’a exports.

Trade negotiations presently underway in Geneva will
hopefully result in private sector stimulus in Canada and
benefit all regions of the country. In thisv vein, the
government intends to support the private sector in large
capital undertakings in other countries. This will stimulate
our export to those countries in a variety of ways.

The government will amend the Anit Inflation Act this
session, and create a monitoring agency for wages and
prices to, in effect, replace it.

Plans are to improve thé flexibility and efficiency of
social services. Rehabiliation of disable peraons, day care
and community development services are named as
priorities in this area.

Perhaps most signigicant in terms of the national unity
question are plans to stimulate process of constitutional
review ‘with all governments." This of course, includes
British Columbia and it is my fervant hope that the specific
and particualr needs of northern, western and “‘coastal
Canadians” will be articulated in this review.

According to the speech the Criminal Code will be
amended to fuarantee the right of accused persons to be
tried in the official language of their choice. In other areas
of language rights the govenments pledges to ensure
greater availability of education in both official languages.
These intention, | firmly believe, will add a great deal of
strength to Canada’s dual language system. = aa

Canada is indeed entering a new era. Great changes”
must take place in the social and economic priorities of
Canadians and there is no doubt we will all individually be
asked to play a part.

VANCOUVER (CP) — Skip

The Mabees started DynaMighty

In the oom of thelr apartment,
They woke up every morning to the

sight of a photo enlarger looming |

over their heads.

Now the company is called
Colorific Photo Laba Ltd. and oc:
cupies a 5,000-square-foot stuclo
which Is believed to be the largeat of
its kind in Western Canada.

Mabee says no one could grasp the
original name of the firm ,and a
change was necessary for iden-
tification.

The company employs from 18 to
22 persons and produces an average
e about 250 prints each working

ys

The beginning was a poor one for
the Mabees, bul for two people who
wanted to be their own es and
make lots of money, the field of color
enlargement was an opportunity not
to be missed.

BIG GOALS

“Photo labs might have been
doing three big prints a day and
considered it a hassle,” says Skip.

“They never thought, well, what if I
do 100 a day. ' ‘

“We concentrate on that type of
work, so its no problem to us. We

don’t do processing and no blow-ups
under five by seven, It works for
us.’ ‘

The Mabe€s began the business on
an initial investment of $3,000 ob-
talned through refinancing of the
family truck. The money was used to
buy an enlarger, which was placed
in the bedroom, and soliciting for
customs began.

Further financing, however, was
not easy to get, and what money they
did manage to obtain disappeared
quickly.

A $2,000 loan went in a month and
it was 9 cage of get another loan or
get out zof the business. They
managed to secure a $3,-000 loan.

“With §$000 we paid off our $2,000
loan at the other bank and had a
little left’ spare. . . but not enough,
of course,’ says Mrs. Mabee. '‘The
branch we were dealing with could
only authorize loans of up to $12,000

we soon outgrew it.”

The partnership is based on two
things: the expertise of Brigitte in

says. “She would have gone crazy.

T just figured we would have to
work a little harder that’s all. We
have worked hard, but we’ve never
reached a goal because 1 would
change the figures long before we
got there. It’s a good incentive,”

For the first year there was no

bees as each dollar earned was
put back into the business. In the
second year they allowed them-

$4,-200 each in the third year.

“That's notexactly a terrific wage
