Speaking of May Day…
Someone definitely hit the month of May with the awesome-stick, because on May 2nd, there will be a crazy carnival/fundraiser over at the Eastern Bloc (7240 Clark). It is co-hosted by Paper and Pine and here’s a few of the things you’ll find there:
BOOTHS! GAMES! SNACKS! BINGO! LIFE COACHING! KARAOKE! BINGO! NEW LOVE! VARIETY SHOW! THEATRE!
Indeed, an evening not to be missed. 2 dollars to get in, doors open at 8pm.

Tonight (8pm-12am) is the vernissage of Night Vision Nocturne (FB), an art show presented in association with the IMCA Student Collective and Art Matters 2009. The new media based gallery exhibition showcases 17 artists working within the creative domain of video, electronic, laser and photography based installation as well as theatre and video performance. The space will be in complete darkness except for the self-illuminated artworks.
Three things over there have especially caught my attention for now - and I haven’t even seen the show, those are: jello ipods (Sek Chee Lynn Chen), majorz lasorz projektor (Jonathan Gilmore) , and what seems like a videotaped cat (Florence S. Larose). See you tonight at Galerie Artefacto (3520 Saint-Jacques W, Lionel-Groulx Metro) for multimedia and live video mixing performances!
Then, this Wednesday (FB, 8pm, $8), Frozen Mammoth favorite Jim Holyoak is participating to this mysterious show/event over at the Eastern Bloc. He will have art on display and he is most likely to do live projections and ink drawings. The event is promised to be hypnotizing and disturbing, with Echoes Still Singing Limbs, Holy Oak, Paper Beat Scissors and Jonathan Beaver Sheppard. Look at those gorgeous myspaces, and dare tell me you’re not intrigued!
