			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Murder mystery games act as a way to diffuse the terror of murder. With their underlying formal interest and compositional fantasies, their intricacies of plot, they provide a moment to act out taboo and fantasy.</p>
<p>In the summer of 2010, a murder takes place; Red Bird  invites you to witness the story of this death, who did it, and how.</p>
<p>When the first  reported serial killers started wandering the streets of London, taking their victims into dark corners to cut, slash and shoot, a shadow was cast over humanity. While a new-found sense of terror arose, there was also intrigue, innuendo and rumour; did the victims deserve it?</p>
<p>Due to the unprecedented technological advances of the twentieth century, precipitously accelerated into the twenty-first, we have borne witness to death more than at any other time in history. Wars are no longer merely stories of distant, heroic battle; they have been brought home in flesh and blood. Countless loved ones lost to violent acts are immortalized in photos showing their brutal deaths.</p>
<p>The camera as a means of record arrived on the scene vested with a particular authority to arrest, picture and transform daily life&#8230; or daily death. Just as the camera has been our recorder and a helping hand to bear witness to our deaths and murders, it has also fed our fascination with mortality by providing detailed images of human brutality.</p>
<p>Three Photographers were asked explore these questions and ideas. Through a six image narrative that tells the story of a death,  Alexis Gross, Ben Philippi and Mamoru Koboyakawa answer the query&#8230; who shot J. Doe?</p>
<p>Jully 22nd, to August 2nd, 12: 00 to 6:00, or by appointment</p>
<p>Vernissage: July 22nd, 19:00 to 24:00</p>
<p>To make an appointment email Naomi: redbirdstudios@gmail.com or call (514) 690-8289</p>

<br style="color: #666666;" /></span></span><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="color: #666666;"> OPEN STUDIO Tues–Fri June 1st–27th, 12:00-18:00.<br />
WORKSHOP Sat June  19th,  14:00–18:00.<br />
FINISSAGE Thurs June 24th, 19:00–24:00.<br />
<br style="color: #666666;" /></span><span style="color: #666666;"> Red Bird Gallery 135 Van Horne</span></span></span><br />
<br style="color: #666666;" /><span style="color: #666666;">Multimedia  artist <span class="il">Andrea</span> <span class="il">Kastner</span> employs the material artifacts of</span><span style="color: #666666;"> quotidian experience to explore the  intimate relationships between</span><span style="color: #666666;"> individuals, communities, and the built environment that are  constitutive</span><span style="color: #666666;"> of a  specifically urban consciousness. Over the course of her one-month</span><span style="color: #666666;"> open door residency at the Red Bird  Gallery, <span class="il">Kastner</span> will be</span><span style="color: #666666;"> working on a series of works rendered in her unique collaging</span><span style="color: #666666;"> style, as well as furthering her  artistic exploration of the accumulated</span><span style="color: #666666;"> detritus of daily life in the Mile-End by  performing an autopsy on a</span><span style="color: #666666;"> bag of garbage.</span><br style="color: #666666;" /> <span style="color: #666666;"><br />
Begun in 2009 in <span class="il">Kastner</span>’s  studio at the Red Bird, the series of collages</span><span style="color: #666666;"> systematically documents a single block of the  alleyway directly facing</span><span style="color: #666666;"> the studio building, between Waverly and St. Urbain streets. The  details</span><span style="color: #666666;"> of this familiar  cityscape––</span><span style="color: #666666;">the rusted  staircases, laundry lines and</span><span style="color: #666666;"> garden fences––are built up using layers of everyday ephemera,</span><span style="color: #666666;"> including metro transfers, shopping  bags, electrical tape and price</span><span style="color: #666666;"> tags. Also included in this exhibit is an 18-foot panoramic  work,</span><span style="color: #666666;"> Cinema V, a  tribute to the abandoned Empress Theatre, a magnificent</span><span style="color: #666666;"> crumbling neo-Egyptian movie house  in Notre-Dame-de-Grâce.</span></p>
<p><span class="il">Andrea</span> <span class="il">Kastner</span> received her BFA from Mount Allison University in<span style="color: #666666;"> 2006. Her work has been shown in  solo exhibitions at the Maison de</span><span style="color: #666666;"> la Culture Notre-Dame-de-Grâce and the Galerie Port-Maurice  (Montreal,</span><span style="color: #666666;"> QC), and in  group exhibitions at Gallery 21 (Halifax, NS), Struts Gallery</span><span style="color: #666666;"> (Sackville, NB), the Niagara  Artists Centre (St. Catharines, ON) and</span><span style="color: #666666;"> Hamilton Artist Inc. (Hamilton, ON). She has  worked as an art instructor at</span><span style="color: #666666;"> the Visual Arts Centre in Montreal, and is currently pursuing  her Masters</span><span style="color: #666666;"> in Fine Arts  in painting at the University of Alberta.</span><br style="color: #666666;" /> <br style="color: #666666;" /><span style="color: #666666;">For more information contact <a href="mailto:redbirdstudios@gmail.com" target="_blank">redbirdstudios@gmail.com</a> <br style="color: #666666;" /> </span><span style="color: #666666;"><br />

<p><strong>Exposition commune transcanadienne à la galerie <a title="Red Bird Studios" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outbound/article/www.redbirdstudios.org');" href="../" target="_blank">Red Bird</a></strong><strong> Studios: <em>The(y) may show</em>, ce nom à double sens qui donne un clin d’oeil aux artistes de Vancouver dont la présence n’était pas garantie, distance oblige. <em>They may show</em>. La plupart ont bravé les quelques 5000 km de routes et ont fait acte de présence.</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a class="lightbox-enabled" rel="lightbox" href="http://nomag.ca/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/RedBirdspreadb.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-9871" title="RedBirdspreadb" src="http://nomag.ca/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/RedBirdspreadb.jpg" alt="RedBirdspreadb THE(Y) MAY SHOW: NEUF ARTISTES, PAS DE BUT" width="540" height="180" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">J’aime beaucoup voir ce qui arrive quand on demande à des artistes de se justifier, ou de s’expliquer. Certains refusent de façon passive, ne répondant que le minimum, certains se cantonnent sur le côté menaçant de la question journalistique, d’autres sont si habitués aux explications qu’ils se lancent comme des machines, ressassant pour une énième fois un discours tout fait qui a comme seule fonction de se débarrasser de la question et de passer à autre chose.</p>
<p><a class="lightbox-enabled" rel="lightbox" href="http://nomag.ca/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/n117091334205_3605.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-9878 alignleft" title="n117091334205_3605" src="http://nomag.ca/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/n117091334205_3605.jpg" alt="n117091334205 3605 THE(Y) MAY SHOW: NEUF ARTISTES, PAS DE BUT" width="180" height="155" /></a>Lorsque j’ai vu dans le descriptif de <strong>The(y) May Show</strong> le slogan «nine artists and no point» (neuf artistes et aucun but), j’ai pensé à <a title="Nomag" href="http://nomag.ca/" target="_blank">Nomag</a>, et à l’intérêt d’une discussion sur rien du tout avec <strong>Michael Rattray</strong>, de la gallerie d’art <a title="Red Bird Studios" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outbound/article/www.redbirdstudios.org');" href="../" target="_blank"><strong>Red Bird</strong></a>, sur Van Horne. «Alors, neuf artistes, pas de but, tu as quelque chose à ajouter à ça?» Bien sûr que non; pas de but, pas d’explications nécessaires. Mais Rattray fait tout de même partie des interviewés participatifs.</p>
<p>Il m’explique que tout ce qu’il y a à savoir, c’est que c’est un arrangement dans l’espace et le temps, et que les différents artistes se sont fendus en quatre pour faire cette expo. Il me dit que c’est intéressant de voir tous ces artistes dont les oeuvres n’ont à prime abord rien à voir les unes avec les autres se retrouver dans une salle et inévitablement interagir entre elles… Car l’amitié semble bien rejoindre les artistes entre eux: ce sont des amis qui se retrouvent ici.</p>
<p><a class="lightbox-enabled" rel="lightbox" href="http://nomag.ca/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/RedBird04b.jpg"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-9887" title="RedBird04b" src="http://nomag.ca/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/RedBird04b.jpg" alt="RedBird04b THE(Y) MAY SHOW: NEUF ARTISTES, PAS DE BUT" width="272" height="414" /></a></p>
<p>Bien sûr, l’éclectique se remarque ici, mais, loin des galeries stériles qui expose un seul artiste dépouillé dans un décor absent, Red Bird semble habité, et on sent une réelle cohésion entre les oeuvres et l’espace qu’elles occupent.</p>
<p>Au milieu de la salle trônent deux échelles, une affichant une flèche vers le bas, l’autre une flèche vers le haut. C’est «Ascending and descending ladders» par <strong>Graham Landin</strong>, celui qui «chasse les démons à travers des affirmations créatives et te rappelle que tout est dans ta tête». Rattray se délecte à m’expliquer qu’un gars a tenté de faire tomber les échelles, et qu’il a été obligé de lui faire croire que les pièces valaient une fortune et qu’il ne sortirait pas de là s’il vandalisait ces trésors. On prend ici un flagrant plaisir à constater que l’art provoque des réactions, qu’il incite à la communication, à la curiosité, voire au grabuge.</p>
<p>Des pots Masson pleins de Cool-Aid, à côté de cet étrange boyau phallique qui prend naissance dans un grand sceau là-haut et sort d’une toile immaculée, c’est l’oeuvre de <strong>Steven Somersbee</strong>. Même chose avec lui: «As-tu quelque chose à en dire?» «Non.» Celui-ci m’explique toutefois son grand bonheur à la vue de tous les spectateurs qui buvaient dans les pots, ou les volaient tout simplement. «L’intention était d’en faire une pièce potentielle. Le spectateur doit deviner.» Lorsque je lui demande si quelqu’un avait tenté d’activer la pompe au bout du boyau, il me regarde comme si l’idée était loufoque. Une autre de ses oeuvre, un jeu sur Duchamp: un enregistrement DAT de lui en train de pisser, puis, de se laver les mains.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a class="lightbox-enabled" rel="lightbox" href="http://nomag.ca/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/RedBird03b.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-9904" title="RedBird03b" src="http://nomag.ca/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/RedBird03b.jpg" alt="RedBird03b THE(Y) MAY SHOW: NEUF ARTISTES, PAS DE BUT" width="540" height="360" /></a></p>
<p>Un collage déconstruit de Leonard Cohen a aussi attiré mon attention. C’est l’oeuvre de <strong>Les Ramsay</strong>, un de ceux qui ne se sont pas pointés. Le titre: «L.L.L.C. (Ladies Love Leonard Cohen)» Certains des gens qui ont vu les oeuvres ont également identifié certains morceaux comme de «l’art de hipster» (peu importe ce que ça veut dire), notamment quelques jolis tableaux représentant des loups: «Le loup aime le fuschia», par <strong>Karmen Mantha</strong>… Et les mobiles à apparence d’attrapeurs de rêves de <strong>Maya Beaudry</strong>. Certains font davantage dans la provocation, et l’idée est souvent hautement cérébrale. Quatre images projetées de <strong>Laël Williams</strong> qui ne fait rien de particulier, accompagnées de la tordante et misogyne chanson de <a title="Snoop Dogg" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outbound/article/www2.snoopdogg.com');" href="http://www2.snoopdogg.com/" target="_blank">Snoop Dogg</a> «<a title="Ain't no fun" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outbound/article/www.azlyrics.com');" href="http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/snoopdogg/aintnofunifthehomiescanthavenone.html" target="_blank">Ain’t no fun (if the homies can’t get none)</a>».</p>
<p><a class="lightbox-enabled" rel="lightbox" href="http://nomag.ca/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/RedBird02b.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-9922 alignleft" title="RedBird02b" src="http://nomag.ca/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/RedBird02b.jpg" alt="RedBird02b THE(Y) MAY SHOW: NEUF ARTISTES, PAS DE BUT" width="288" height="383" /></a>Parlant de cérébralité, je tombe sur un socle vide. Oui, la queue de cheval de <strong>Sean Orena</strong> n’est pas là. Il avait peur qu’elle s’envole par la fenêtre. Certaines oeuvres ne semblent que poser des questions, nous titiller. Mike Rattray a perdu son mutisme idéologique: «C’est l’idéal romantique de la composition picturale formelle à l’intérieur de la construction de l’identité. Ce sont ces morceaux de nous-même qui peuvent être ôtés, coupés, photographiés, et exposés. C’est pas mal ça, la composition formelle: notre façon de nous construire nous-même est un procédé entièrement axé sur l’image.»</p>
<p><strong>the(y) may show se tient du 13 au 24 mai 2010, Red Bird Gallery, 135 Van Horne, Montréal.</strong></p>

It is an exhibition about nothing, but the nice thing about nothing is since you can’t expect anything, you’ll in the very least be surprised! Or maybe bewildered? Or maybe something else? It might all depend on how you feel about a pointless exhibition that nonetheless situates a bunch of art from relative positions. </span><span style="font-family: &quot;Tw Cen MT&quot;;"><br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Wrong Feeling</p>
<p>Red Bird Gallery, 135 Van Horne O. April 23 &#8211; May 3, 2010.</p>
<p>Vernissage: April 23, 2010.  19h.<br />
+Abortion Spa: Performance by Emily Pelstring, Sebastian Lange &amp; Jessica Mensch. One night only: April 23, 2010.  21h.</p>
<p>The title of Jessica Mensch’s first solo exhibition of portraits, THE WRONG FEELING, refers to the assumptions that inform relationships between viewer, artist, and subject. In two series of large paintings, Mensch challenges the cultural norms of representation that support the fallacious notion that psychology and identity, particularly gender identity, can be read into the subject of a portrait.</p>
<p>In the first series of portraits, the artist has sought to circumvent the pitfalls of reductionism by capturing her subjects at unstructured moments, conscious of the performance of posing for a painting and yet not completely in control of it. These glimpsed views of the subject examine the shifting, unstable nature of identity while simultaneously addressing the dynamics of power implicit in both the act of posing and the act of looking.</p>
<p>The second series of paintings explores the tenets of Western Classicism that circumscribe the depiction of female subjects. With multiple references to art historical precedents, Mensch revisits the classical nude, switching the sitter’s gender in order to subvert the legacy of heteronormative objectification.</p>
<p>Abortion Spa is a 3-minute performance combining dance, live percussion, fantastical costumes, vocals, and black-light effects staged in a Dystopian future where the medical industry has enabled the conflation of cosmetic dermatology and reproductive healthcare.</p>
<p>BIO</p>
<p>Montréal-based painter Jessica Mensch’s work investigates notions of identity within the context of portrait and figure painting. Additionally, she composes and performs collaborative theatrical pieces loosely based<br />
on dreams, current political issues and predictions of the future. Mensch has exhibited and performed in various group shows in Montréal, Toronto and Halifax. Mensch received her BFA from the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design in Halifax, Nova Scotia. She currently works as a freelance portrait artist and oil painting teacher, and paints theatre sets for the Segal and Centaur Theatre’s in Montréal, Québec. Mensch has exhibited and performed in various group shows in Montréal, Toronto and Halifax.</p>
<p>THE WRONG FEELING will be her first solo exhibition</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>BONFIRE EXPLANATIONS, the new show by Gordon Hull, explores a combination of media. It begins with a performance in which the audience is invited to play a game of ‘obstacle pong’- ping pong in which objects are added to the table while play takes place- against Abbou Belghazi (The Great Belghazi), who is an alter ego/collaborator of Hull. This is both an exercise in the creation of a sculpture as well as a collaborative effort between Hull and his “opponent.” Each match is photographed and consulted and from these photographs the sculpture is created at the end of the night, using the matches as individual drafts or sketches for the final work. In addition to the performance and its resulting sculpture, there will be a process drawing of the performance/act as well as a photograph, a collage and a pile of dinosaur bones. BONFIRE EXPLANATIONS seeks to explain the nature of a fire; its reason for being as well as its meaning as a shapeshifting, living breathing entity whose capacity for motion, passion and fury mirrors our own internal embers.</p>
<p>Gordon Harrison Hull was born September 5, 1977 in New York as the result of a pregnancy brought about by a fertility dress made specifically for his mother by an Ashanti witch doctor in Ghana. He was raised on an apple farm in Warwick, New York and lives and works in New York and Paris. He is co-founder and creative director at large for the creative group Surface to Air. His work &#8211; inspired by the rituals, mysticism and craft of Africa &#8211; is based on a concept of aesthetic he calls “lo-fi magic” and explores instances of natural magic, exercises of the supernatural, symbolism and ceremony. The role of the artist as the Trickster figure in contemporary culture.</p>
<p>He most recently completed his first new york solo exhibition at Partners and Spade, september 2009.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In (de)celebration of the Vancouver Olympic Games, Red Bird will be holding all-night events that follow a mandate of exploring the role of play and subversion in the expression of dissension towards nationalist and corporate hierarchical systems. All are invited to attend, participate, voice their opinions, or remain silent and peruse the many free, free-form and freely associated events that highlight community, play, and the role of site-specificity over and above the celebration of a nationalized ethos of competition!</p>
<p>Afin de (dé)célébrer les jeux olympiques de Vancouver, Red Bird devient le lieu d’une série d’événements qui durent toute la nuit et qui explorent le rôle du jeu et de la subversion dans l’expression de la dissension vis-à-vis des systèmes hiérarchiques nationaux et d’entreprise. Tous sont invités à venir, à participer, à s’exprimer ou bien à garder le silence en profitant de plusieurs activités gratuites qui mettent l’accent sur les notions de communauté, de jeu, et du rôle de la spécificité du « site » qui va au-delà de l’éthos de compétition nationalisé!</p>
