workbench presents the work and lifestyles of six emerging Victoria artists, Jordan Beggs, Caleb Beyers, Marlene Bouchard, Charlotte Campbell, Rachel Evans and Emily Goodden. Curators Zoë Kreye and Ross Macaulay have assembled this exhibition to consider the diverse artistic practices currently taking shape in the city. Looking at accessible art venues and communities that support artists on the cusps of their careers and the strategies they adapt to make a living, workbench surveys these trends and acts as a laboratory for public exchange.

Victoria ---- Amidst the sunny heat and throngs of tourist’s feet exploring Victoria’s downtown zone this summer, three performance projects wil explore gaps in the normal entertainment fare for buffet dazed nomadic audiences. Open Space performance is pleased to host an evening of performance art by three artists exploring different ways to interact and interject public spaces with protest actions, group narcissism, and depths of expression often found behind closed doors.
Audiospace 2007
Audiospace 2007 features the work of Chantal Dumas, who was commissioned by Open Space New Music to write a Call for Submissions and to create a sound piece for the Audiospace web gallery.
The Call for Submissions was sent electronically to audio, media and art lists and was active from April to June 15, 2007. 17 audio submissions were received and include an eclectic array of electronic, recorded acoustic and mixed works from solo artists, duos and ensembles, one of which is performed by an Avatar Orchestra by way of the Second Life virtual reality site.
The Audiospace 2007 gallery is open for pubic listening, viewing and input until November 19, 2007. Visitors to the site are invited to make comments through the Comment function embedded in each artist's submission page, and to interact by clicking on the Interact page to vote on 5 questions. Visitor input will determine the financial remuneration available to the artists who have submitted works.
