Description:
The project series documents the film "Random Movies" produced by Pettena in 1972. The project consists of a film created by Pettena with randomly selected filmstrips of film reels that were going to be thrown away. The film was then presented to the public in Salt Lake City without anyone looking at the content before. The filmstrips "were out-of-date promotional films, many of them in two copies, commercial advertisements as well as electoral propaganda. So the screening proved particularly provocative for an audience that had come to attend a “cultured” lecture and found themselves, in an insistent manner, treated as an audience of “advertising skits.” "[1] The project series contains project descriptions in English and in Italian, a film still and a digital version of the film.

The film program turns to artists examining the ways territories are imagined, represented, and governed. Moving through simulated landscapes, aerial surveys, borders, and systems of measurement, the films trace how territory is made available to power before violence becomes visible.

AP018.S1.1978.PR04
Description:
This project series documents the design of a US pre-clearance facility at terminal one of the Toronto International Airport in Mississauga, Ontario in 1978. The office identified the project number as 7805. Since the early 1960s, John B. Parkin Associates, and later John C. Parkin's new firm Parkin Architects Planners, had been commissioned by the government Department of Transport Air Services to complete more than a dozen projects at the Toronto International Airport, including terminals one and two. This project consisted of the design of an area to accommodate pre-clearance screening to the US, which was located between fingers one and two at terminal one. The area is referred to as a node, and contained washrooms, customs areas, immigration areas, and a duty free that was accessible to international traffic. Many gates at terminal one had to be redesignated to accommodate this new facility. The project is recorded through drawings and textual records dating from 1978. The drawings are largely reprographic copies of floor plans and site plans, with sections of the original terminal one building included. Some drawings in this project series were created by the architectural firm Searle, Wilbee, Rowland, which was one of the names used for Parkin's firm after the merger of John B. Parkin Associates with Winnipeg-based firm Smith, Carter and Searle. The textual records include conference reports, correspondence and a feasibility report.

Description:
This project series documents new offices for entertainment company Alliance Communications in Toronto from 1995-1996. The office identified the project number as 9514. This project began with an investigation into the feasibility of renovating an existing six-storey building located at 1155 Yonge Street. The site was eventually changed to 121 Bloor Street East, where three consecutive floors of the existing high-rise were renovated for the new offices. The 16th floor contained executive offices with reception at the 15th floor and the major production department below that on the 14th. The office interiors consisted of wood veneer paneling, steel and stone. These materials, along with rubber flooring and glass panels added to the loft style of the open office space.[1] At the ground-level of the office tower, a screening room, restaurant and patio were proposed, although it is unclear if these renovations were ever completed. The project is recorded through drawings and some accompanying notes dating from 1995-1996. There are a large number of drawings for the proposed offices on Yonge Street, which include sketches, plans, elevations, sections and perspectives. These drawings are arranged before the Bloor Street materials are distinguished in the file-level descriptions. The Bloor Street office drawings include sketches, plans, elevations, sections, perspectives, details and furnishings.
