New Adventures In Sound Art: Sign Me A Space

Interactive Multimedia Installation
Our urban soundscapes are more musical than you'd think. Take the time to listen and you'll hear the notes of motors, appliances, air conditioners, wind-buffeted wires, and other resonant spaces and objects. Created by Toronto-based artists David McCallum and Erk Martinson, the interactive video and audio installation "Sign Me a Space" immerses you in the music of the public spaces of Toronto, showing you the sounds you didn't know you heard, and the sights you didn't know you saw. This world premiere is presented by New Adventures in Sound Art. Visit www.naisa.ca/soundplay for more info.

Julia Abraham: Entropy

Painting Exhibition
Entropy is defined as the inevitable and steady deterioration of a system. The aspect of degeneration is the central premise in my investigations of human memory and is thus the title of the project. I am interested in themes surrounding loss, restoration, and abstracted narrative of memory. The associations of human memory to the landscape and the disintegration of memory are two significant areas of interest within the study. My concern with memory is explored through abstract imagery representing only the very intangible way in which our minds store memories, as well as the incorporation of external materials which act as signifiers to my memory. By representing memory with its many holes and inaccuracies that develop over time, I propose to guide the viewer into uncertain and reconstructed memories, as a sewn and multilayered tapestry.
