This series of work examines notions of recollection and representation inherent in homemade sound and video recording formats, specifically in relation to musical composition and production.

Also, after NW openings head over to NE for a performance by Carlos Gonzalez at Appendix Project Space (South alley between 26th and 27th on NE Alberta) at 9pm sharp.

About the performance:

Examining the knot of personal identity through abstracted acts of sport, Gonzalez offers his body as a source and site of meaning, making physical the semiotic barriers that criss-cross daily existence.
