James North Art Crawl Preview: September

After a lazy summer, the Art Crawl is kicking back like it means it (and I really hope it does) with a slurry of projects from the Red Tree Collective’s ReMix Institute Phase II. Elements of this exchange project between Hamilton and Cuban-based artists will be in evidence all along the crawl, starting with a pre-Crawl reception from 6:30pm at The Print Studio, where Delio Delgado’s Words, Disguises and Other Things will be showing alongside Pavel Acosta’s Talentos Robados/Stolen Talents. Because The Print Studio is now entering the home stretch of its membership campaign, there will also be mojitos.

As the project-hub for ReMix, You Me Gallery is the ideal destination for the background to the entire exchange between Hamilton and Cuba, featuring a process wall of artist ephemera curated by Bryce Kanbara, a Souvenir Shop with artworks created on route, a Curatorial Road Map and images of Connections to Ojistoh, Shelley Niro and René Francisco deck and fence collaboration with Brantford Native Housing.

The party continues at Hamilton Artist’s Inc. with installations of work by further ReMix participants: Sadko Hadzihasanovic, Bryce Kanbara, Peter Karuna, Popeye’s Golden Theory, Anne Milne, Adrian Rumbautand and Yanet Molina.

While you’re in the area, Andrew McPhail will be performing all my little failures in the James & Cannon area from 7:25pm. Despite many previous permutations, I still haven’t seen this action in person yet, so I’ll be making an effort for that one in particular.

In collaboration with the lovely people at Christ’s Church Cathedral, the Inc. will also be presenting its New Harbours Music Series tomorrow night, featuring The Rest, Dark Mean and Bottom Feeder.

Loose Canon: Vedi Djokich will be presenting a series of large-scale paintings with smaller screenprinted works in Heads. While I haven’t seen much of Vedi’s work since we were both kicking our way through Mac’s studio art program, I’m willing to bet it’s gonna be zesty.

While not an exhibition as such, it also bears noting that the studio conversion underway at the former Hotel Hamilton (previously discussed on this blog here) will be open to the public tomorrow night from 7-10pm, complete with tours for prospective tenants and custard tarts.

And for those looking to end the night as it started (i.e. with more Cuban exchange action), Alan Flint will be rockin’ it out with Popeye’s Golden Theory at the Artword Artbar from 10pm.


COMMENTS / ONE COMMENT

Hi there,
I;ve been searching the internet for info on one of the cuban artists; hopefully you can help! It was the exhibit at the gallery with no name (it’s always for lease and has a red awning) and it featured beautiful 16 x 11 photographs. I believe the photographer’s name is Jerry? Any info you could dig up would be greatly appreciated!
