galerie maison kasini opens with installation
September 18, 2009
Art is food. Feed the people. This weekend, Galerie Maison Kasini, Montreal’s newest contemporary art gallery, gives sustenance to body, mind, and spirit at their grand opening in the Belgo Building.
Working backward:
Reception, Saturday 4-7pm in their new fourth floor space. Meet writer, artist, and gallery owner Ric Kasini Kadour and participating artists. Eat real food: fruit, chocolate, cheese, wine.
Get your aural fix, Saturday 3pm. Nicolas Dion, a.k.a. Darcin, will perform “X” - a sound performance that focuses on the manipulations of one toy instrument by one person and one computer.
Graze, Saturday 2pm. “Commencement” expo and ARTSHOP open. Visual artists include wood sculptor Clement Yeh, collage artist Karen Geiger, jazz-inspired abstract painter Lois Eby. ARTSHOP sells monographs, chapbooks, small one-of-a-kind works, multiples, and other creative endeavors by contemporary working artists.
Saturday, noon. Feast on the gallery’s temporary proportions, newly wrapped in brown paper by performance artist Emma Waltraud Howes.
Friday 11am-6pm, watch Howes, an interdisciplinary artist who has performed and exhibited internationally, as she stretches and affixes brown paper throughout the gallery to create new walls and redefine the space.
