Drip Fish
April 30 - May 18 vertical gallery
Drip Fish - Judee Stevenson (Victoria)
Drip Fish deals with materials and surface. In this piece excess paint has dripped off the canvas into fish bags. Through a process similar to the gutting and cleaning of fish, the artist sets out to explore notions of dissection within her own artistic practice.

Expressions in Virtual Reality LiminaL Projects
April 28 performance
Monday Nights @ Open Space
Expressions in Virtual Reality LiminaL Projects
Jackson Two Bears, Tanya Doody, Susanna Hood and Tom Kuo (Toronto) in collaboration with Dr. Steve Gibson (Victoria)
LiminaL Projects, a Toronto-based multi-media installation and performance collective will be joined by Dr. Steve Gibson, of the University of Victoria's Centre for New Media Arts, to present this collaborative project. The live improvisational sound performance will include technology wherein bodies and motion within a given space can be detected and decoded as virtual information by computer software. The technology will be programmed to effect the presentation of aural and visual ephemera within a multi-media performance. Susanna Hood's movement work will be integrally involved. Her physical motions will be detected by the tracking system to ultimately effect transmutations of video projections, control vocal processing, and to start and stop audio loops.

Emergence (Victoria) - Solo Acoustic Series

Four works performed will be premiered. "None of these pieces are manifestos. They don't attempt to do you what to think...", noted one composer.

Rufus Cappadocia
April 11 new music
Rufus Cappadocia (New York) - Solo Acoustic Series
Rufus Cappadocia will play five-string cello in this third concert of the newly initiated and ongoing Solo Acoustic Series. Hailing from New York, but originally from Hamilton, Ontario, Cappadocia is on a cross-Canada solo tour in which a new live CD of self-composed works is being created. Cappadocia's self-designed five-string cello combines an extended technique of the bass and cello, allowing it to function as both a lead and rhythm section instrument. He has honed his distinct musical voice into a form of playing that combines near eastern music with groove, blues and jazz sensibilities couched in the new music genre.
