Pictionary is an exhibition of recent work by Concordia students Darcy Cooke and Jessica Campbell. The two bodies of work engage in a sense of play and implement rich use of colour, texture and scale in both photography and painting. While not all of the work relate directly to games, they all invoke feelings of […]

What would you do if you had to dance a duet, but your partner didn’t show up? Not only did this actually happen to Andrew Turner when he was a student at Concordia University, but since then he’s used it as inspiration and decided to recreate the situation over and over again. Call it masochism, […]

This is the first year that the FOFA gallery has taken part in Concordia’s Art Matters festival, but the privilege of hosting the space could only go to one event. Fortunately, “IN details” has two curators, Cathy Wakim and Catherine Cournoyer, who admitted that two heads are better than one. “The good thing about having […]

‘V is for Wideo’ can be seen at the VAV Gallery at 1395, blvd René Lévesque o. from March 10th-14th, as part of Concordia’s Art Matters festival.

“I used to edit tape to tape before non-linear digital video editing was available” says Brett Bergmann, of the waning days before digital replaced the direct […]

The Goods will be on display at the Galerie Espace, 4844, Saint-Laurent, from March 6th to the 11th.

Dear Diary,

My landlord threw me out of the building and now all by belongings are sitting on a truck, destined for nowhere. And on top of all that, I have an art exhibition to put on!

Aimster Productions presents a plethora of dance pieces presented by members of the Concordia Dance program tonight (too late!), tomorrow (Sat, Feb the 16th, 8pm) and Sunday afternoon at 4pm.
I was able to sit in on the dress rehearsal last night, but failed to get in to see tonight’s show. Seats are very limited (50 […]

Just the other day we were saying, wow, the Mess has featured a lot of artists, but no puppets yet, hmm, and then poof came a friendly hello from an experimental puppet collective! They’re performing tonight in Montreal at Club Lambi, and we hope to collaborate in the near future.

A Guest Contribution from Nathan Murray
Ireland is a bit of a curious nation in terms of its literary production. English profs love readings by Irish writers because of their themes of oppression and their outside perspective on Anglo-American culture,while the younger crowd go to readings by Irish writers for the sexy Irish accents (and maybe […]

Thanksgiving weekend unfolded unexpectedly in the dance world. Having already seen Marie Chouinard’s stunning bODY_rEMIX/les_vARIATIONS_gOLDBERG last year, I had decided to rather focus my attention on Ölelés at Agora de la danse. I showed up at the venue only to find out that the show had been canceled due to a family emergency that called […]

Quinn Caruana is one of the main organizers of Film POP this year and when she asked me to help spread the word on a special Film POP event, a Master Class for makers, I asked her to make some picks for our readers (fair deals! =) - the films she’s most personally excited about. […]

With our sixth Monthly Mess, themed “Back to Scoool” now behind us, I’m readying myself for the next challenge… actually going back to school! For a gal who’s been out of school and working full-time for a couple of years, this is a surreal switch from “the real world” to the microcosmic university world, a […]

The day before yesterday I walked through the Bruce Nauman exhibit (freebie day at the Montreal Contemporary every Wednesday from 6-9pm) and took in the neon signs (which I’m sure were more affective in the ’60’s) and the performance video art (awful and funny in their repetition, and a bit beautiful but mostly bemusing) and […]

Since I can’t go as much in depth as usual in my reviews due to the ridiculous number of shows in the Fringe, I decided that I would cheapen the hard work put into all the shows by giving them star ratings. Here’s how I figure it’s gonna go:
***** Worth more than the money
**** Worth […]

Drowning in schoolwork, I have disappeared from Indyish this past month. This is not to say however that I have not found the time to excessively indulge as usual in the Montreal dance scene, seeing work after work in an effort to cash in on all the dance available before things calm down for the […]
