St. Peter's Basilica Challenge with Jill Price

A giant puzzle of the ceiling at St. Peter's. Can it be assembled in 12 hours? I guess we'll find out!

Messy Bedroom AV Club with Matt Haskill of Four Star Daydream
Location: The gallery at Awkward Stage

Spontaneously write, rehearse, and record an album early 90's style on cassette 4 track in a 12 hour span. Everybody is encouraged to join in, add their voice, clap, stomp, bring down instruments, and contribute to a lo-fi hap-hazard wall of sound experiment.

Nigh Vision with Claudia Mandler McKnight

Art ce Soir events: All night installations!

Artistic Growth by Jill Price
Location: The garden in front of Jill Price Studios

A mixed media sculpture combining wire, recycled canvas, fabric and paint. The intent is to commemorate the artistic growth experienced during Jill's last year as a working artist.

The Outcropping: Back Alley Fortification by Grant Wilson and Sarah Leonard
Location: The nook beside Jill Price Studios

The outcropping is what would happen if materials found in a space decided to grow as though they were mushrooms.

Mind Garbage by Et and Ampersand (Pixie M. Finnie and Cory VDV)
Location: The nook beside Le Petit Chapeau

An interactive installation dealing with ideas of time, space and place. Feminine iconography and low class aesthetics to cheekily confront the mundane, the menial and modern notions of ritual.

An installation (with a top secret outcome) by Lois Green
Location: Parking lot

A sculptural installation built from wire and paper with a performance based happening set to occur at 5am.

Under the Looking-Glass by Gavy Swan
Location: Le Petit Chapeau

A collection of polymer clay sculptures of weird and wonderful creatures with an interactive "dissecting table" inviting viewers to examine these beings and express their own thoughts based on their findings.

My Memory is Growing Mushrooms by Alana Sproule
Location: The Vault at Jill Price Studios

An installation based on the thought of memories being left to decay allowing mushrooms to thrive.

Light, Squared by Lisa Brunetta
Location: The ivy beside Awkward Stage, the staircase at Bohemia, the fire escape beside Le Petit Chapeau

You can tell where light has been, where light is and where light is going to be. A series of wire globes covered in bread bag tabs.


 
Swan Crossing by Julie Clemmer and Steve Fitzpatrick
Location: Lakeshore Mews entrance at Mulcaster Street

Sod will be installed in the space between sidewalks with a glowing swan made of hundreds of small paper swans on one side welcoming you to Art ce Soir.

Photos: A Decade of Digital Exploration by Alek Sorotschynski
Location: The gallery at Awkward Stage

Alek Sorotschynski is a retired Georgian College faculty member who has been experimenting with digital imagery since it's inception. This exhibition represents a small selection of over 500 "manufactured" images done over the last ten years, most of which have never been shown.

Art ce Soir!

The schedule of events for Art ce Soir is available here!

Le Petit Chapeau Is Home!

 After a successful trip out west to the Canadian Derby in Edmonton, we have returned and are back to our original hours of 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Wednesday to Saturday. We are currently more busy than ever with closing the shop in Toronto, our end of summer sale, fall line production and preparing to head off to France on the fifth of October for a master class in the technique of flat fur felt draping. Shown below on these two lovely ladies.

We look forward to making and providing you with these beautiful works of wearable art.

Cheers,
Meaghan & Sara

News from The Mews

Hello.

A new home for lakeshoremews.com!
We have decided that even though tumblr is great, it has been giving us problems. Hopefully this new plan will work out better for everyone.

It is early September. Jill and Alana are madly working on stuff for The Queen West Art Crawl, which happens September 17 & 18, 2011. It is Jill's first year on The Crawl and Alana's third.
Meaghan has yet to return from her trip out west but Le Petit Chapeau is supposed to be open again this week.
We are all trying to find time to work out the details of Art ce Soir.

Right now Jill has a new collection of work up at Double Door Gallery in Anten Mills. This show closes on September 11, 2011 so you should go see it while you can.
Alek Sorotschynski is on display in the gallery at Awkward Stage until October 1, 2011.

Don't forget Images Studio Tour is one month away. Both Jill and Meaghan are stops on the tour this year.

Busy busy!
