Nov. 8 - 20

Fleet Gallery, 65 Albert Street, Winnipeg

204-942-8026 

In ‘Play to Audience: a social media addiction’ I take a critical view of social media culture and its implications to our humanity.

Seventeen small paintings on paper, 9” x 12”, of people taking selfies are painted quickly and intuitively, where observer becomes the observed and self consciousness is suppressed by the viewer as voyeur.  

Seven oil paintings, 28” x 34”, of theatre interiors are painted slowly and in many layers, as a process of fusing organic with inorganic elements.  

Loose outlines of human heads suggest at once a conscious, attentive audience, and an unconscious audience, oblivious to being ensnared by social media. 

I am interested in the gap between participation and addiction. At the heart of these paintings is our vulnerability of needing to fit in. There is an amoeba-like quality to how we move in and out of consciousness, where we vacillate between free and parasitic. 

Ingrid McMillan

Mary Jane’s Cooking School, 252 Arlington Street

Over the years to celebrate my birthday, I've raised awareness of and funds for a number of charities and organizations close to my heart. This year I've chosen to raise money for Mary Jane's Cooking School (MJCS) which provides education in nutritional home cooking in harmony with individual community and cultural traditions, with respect and care for the environment. Mary Jane Eason is a trail blazer who continues to give her time and knowledge to the community.

Mary Jane’s Cooking School has provided education in both drop-in classes and formal class settings. Some classes have met off-site, at such locations as St. Margaret’s and Holy Trinity Anglican churches, at the Saigon Centre of the Free Vietnamese Association, and in the West End Senior Centre.

With the assistance of Native elders, MJCS includes program information and activities particularly relating to aboriginal culture and spirituality. 

Tax receipts will be issued for any donation above $10. 

Cheques should be made payable to Mary Jane's Cooking School and sent to 252 Arlington Street, Winnipeg, Mb, R3G 1Y8. 

Light refreshments will be served. If you can come by for a visit, I'd love to see you. If you can't make it, I'd very much appreciate your contribution. Thank you. Merci beaucoup. ~ Janine Le Gal

Hosted by Camerata Nova -  Tickets

An Evening of Lute Songs in an Irish Pub!

With great skill, charm and integrity, La Nef has arranged Dowland’s music in Celtic style, as it would have been played in an Irish Pub in the early 1600s.

For Dowland in Dublin, La Nef features Sylvain Bergeron (lute and arrangements),
Alex Kehler (violin), Amanda Keesmaat, as well as Seán Dagher (cittern and arrangements)
and Grégoire Jeay (flute and recorders).

Performances at Crescent Fort Rouge United Church
February 4, 2014 at 8:00 pm
Perchance to Dreame, by Les Voix humaines

We are extremely proud to present the renowned Montréal early music group, Les Voix humaines. Founded in 1985, they have toured the world, and produced more than 40 recordings. Perchance to Dreame features Charles Daniels, tenor; Sylvain Bergeron, lute; and Susie Napper and Margaret Little, violas da gamba, perform the music of Purcell,
Henry and William Lawes, Christopher Simpson and John Jenkins.

Tickets: adults and seniors $25, students $12
*
Where’s Gesualdo?
March 8, 2014 at 8:00 pm and March 9, 2014 at 3:00 pm

Gesualdo, the maverick Italian Renaissance nobleman/ composer/murderer, has always fascinated us. His strange chromatic harmonies could be from today rather than 1600. In fact, the modern mavericks—Berg, Schoenberg and Stravinsky—loved his work. This concert weaves together works from both periods, plus Andrew Balfour and Michael McKay.
We are honoured to have Christopher Jackson, one of the top early music conductors.

Tickets: adults $28, seniors $23, students $12, available at McNally Robinson Booksellers, by phone 204-918-4547, and at the door of each concert, and through our website.

Camerata Nova continues to participate in eyeGO to the Arts, to encourage students (grades 9 to 12) to attend live arts performances for $5 per concert. Individual subscriptions for 2013-2014 are $50 (adults), $45 (seniors) and $20 (students), and
buddy subscriptions (two tickets to each concert) are $95, $85 and $35.

NEW WORKS - Paintings & Sculpture by Natasha Gusta

Opening Reception: Nov. 15, 7:00 pm until 10:00 pm

Exhibit Runs November 15 to 28

Gusta's paintings and sculpture explore the dichotomy of our need to connect and our need for autonomy by exploring the relationships between form and colour, artist and canvas.

To desire a condition of aloneness is to wage a dualistic war with oneself. 

Relationships are never-ending stories of imperfect sorties...
