Woodhands: Official Site | MySpace

“When meek-looking BC expat Dan Werb, the cracked mind behind openers Woodhands , came onstage sporting nerdy glasses and what looked like his bar mitzvah suit, then hunkered down behind a bank of Korgs, effects pedals and wire-spewing consoles, visions of electronic Suzuki recitals danced in my head. Thirty seconds in, those expectations were shot to shit.” – Now Magazine

Knock Knock Ginger: Official Site | MySpace

Knock Knock Ginger is an indie-pop band from Waterloo, Ontario. The band’s sound has been described as “experimental,” but they can’t quite figure out why. They’d like you to think that they play fun, melodic pop songs with a lyrical slant.

Like a child in the night, new to the city’s darkness, I was born again and set free to run wild down each street only to find that none would take me home. -B. Knox

Two Artel Concert Series favourites return –  Sandro Perri and Eric Chenaux!

Sandro Perri: Official Site | MySpace

Sandro Perri is a songwriter and producer living in Toronto, Canada. Originally trained in jazz, and playing primarily guitar, electronics and percussion, he composes, plays and produces music that falls on multiple points across a broad spectrum of styles and genres.

He is best known for his instrumental/electronic work under the Polmo Polpo moniker, which combines long-burn drones, submerged rhythms and various instrumental sources (slide guitar, strings, accordion) to make shimmering, pulsing tracks embedded with gorgeous melodic hooks.

Eric Chenaux: MySpace

Eric Chenaux experiments with song forms as a guitar player, composer and singer with an affection for balladeers such as Betty Carter, Gavin Bryars (specifically his piece “1-2, 1-2-3-4”), Willie Nelson, Silly Sisters, Sade, Jimmy Van Heusen, Nic Jones, Carla Bley, Waterson:Carthy, as well as Hardinger fiddle, late Medieval polyphony and Piobaireachd bagpipes. Chenaux writes songs whilst riding his bike.

Tickets: $10 in advance (at Brian’s Record Option)  / $15 at door.   All Ages.

Reception / Wig Party: December 14th, 7-10pm

THE ARTEL is proud to present Socialite, an installation about the art of manners and appearances and the occasional or the not so occasional desire to get away from it all.
Brought to you by two artists and socialites about town: Irina Skvortsova and Melinda Richka, the show features video and site specific installation.

Richka explores facets of one’s private life while coping within boundaries of isolation. Series of images provide a discrete peek into a space where the protagonist exists in a state of einzelhalf as a side effect of struggling with social and cultural mismatches. Combined with socially expectant objects and text, this installation sets a nostalgic tribute to the contrary enigmas of avid sociality.

Skvortsova presents a parody of socialite etiquette. Focusing on the expressiveness of body language and facial expressions the artist invites the viewer to read these as a complex communicational interplay specific to characters from a particular social strata. Periodic appearances by a certain character set the tone of interpretation of this social mingling, and attempts to disrobe the socialites of their aura of mystery.

New paintings from Sharon Muilwyk explore the space of in-between. Muilwyk determines the in-between as a state of change–the constant transformation that occurs when one thing becomes something else. Through the medium of paint, Muilwyk explores the in-between of order:disorder, urban:rural, man:nature, past:present, lost:found, rational:irrational, real:abstract. Her images are inspired by the visual memories of places she has experienced throughout her own evolution and her relationship with nature over time.

Reception: Saturday, November 17th, 7-9pm
