Prairie Modernist Noir: The Disappearance of the Manitoba Telephone Booth
by Jeanne Randolph
In rural Manitoba the telephone booth is often the only mid-century modernist structure in the landscape. A building where only one person stands inside will someday seem quaint. These structures played a significant role in pop culture and symbolically, in their day, were emblems of modern technology.
Jeanne Randolph has been writing, performing for, and contributing to Canadian contemporary visual arts since 1980. Five books of her collected art-writings have been published since 1991.
Also As Well Too is an artist-run, not-for-profit library and shop for artist books and small press publications.

WINNER of the 2018 Toronto Fringe Best New Play Contest, Vault Projects is happy to finally bring Women of the Fur Trade to Winnipeg!
The year is eighteen hundred and something, just before the collapse of the Canadian Fur Trade. The characters are three women, trapped in a house, in a fort, on the banks of the Red River. The house may be haunted. The fort is definitely haunted. With the impending arrival of Ottawa's foremost colonial masterminds intent on destroying Louis Riel and the Metis and assimilating every Indigenous person they can find, it's up to these three women to save the whole world.
Written and Directed by Frances Koncan
Starring Katie Marie, Kerri Potter and Erica Wilson
Sound Design by Davis Plett
