3/29/2012 0 Comments By Hook or By Crook Tomorrow my class' year-end show opens!!! By Hook or By Crook is an amalgamation of artworks by 16 artists who all work with fibre. Some fun facts about the show: there are 5 works with sound components, including mine, 3 immersive installations and two experiential/participatory pieces. I think it's obvious when you see the show that our class has worked super hard on making the show happen, and that every artist put their heart and soul into their pieces.
So, it opens tomorrow at Eastern Bloc @8pm (metro De Castelneau), here's the website with all the info (courtesy of moi), and some killer photos of our artwork, taken by Riley Sparks. byhookorbycrook.weebly.com By Hook or By Crook is a part of En avril, the Montreal Fibre Art festival. It's a month of fibre shows across the island. The opening reception happens to be taking place tomorrow as well, just before our vernissage, so our class will all be there and we're providing a bus to transport everyone from Concordia's downtown campus to our show. I can't wait! hrmmm, I'm trying to think of a photo to add to this post, but can only think of this one, which I've already posted, and the one below which gives you a little insight as to how the final project has evolved. -janna

3/20/2012 0 Comments New installation  Here's a peek of an new piece I installed for the first time today. It's called "Michael is this a joke?" and is based on a nightmare I had. I haven't had much time to step back and decide how I feel about the piece as a whole, so I'm only showing a snippet of the part I'm excited about so far. Maybe more soon. The speaker plays the sound of an idling diesel truck when the viewer is close enough to cast a shadow.
Art school is pretty fun :) 3/16/2012 0 Comments Laura McMillian prints I've grown to love this Meow the cat character. I've noticed Laura adding new prints recently and I'm really loving all the new things Meow is trying these days....competitive swimming, kayaking and exploring with Steve Zissou.
They're just super cute. 3/16/2012 0 Comments Shows It's been a busy week....as you can see by my outfit both these shows had happenings on the same day. WEIGHS came down today, and after a few days of install at Galerie Diagonale DON'T CALL IT A COMEBACK is opening tomorrow. The vernissage is @ 2pm, I'd love to see some familiar faces there :) Might it help that there will be a performance at 3:30 and gin and tonic served?! Also yesterday we mapped out the layout for By Hook or By Crook at Eastern Bloc, opening on the 30th. It's going to be a great show.  Finissage for WEIGHS. photo by Florence Vallieres |
