Covering Up – Masque Tea: A Tea in Disguise
Friday, Feb. 19th, 7:00pm to 10:00pm
Covering Up is an invitation to stage disruptions in a city in the midst of an exceptional moment. Begun during the height of preparations for the 2010 Olympic games, this project has invited individuals to participate by using domestic fabrics (bedding, curtains) as instruments of obstruction. A gesture of resistance, these individual and group cover ups materialize a playful and personal mimicry of the visual and political disruptions and obstructions that form the everyday in Vancouver.
Music by Rafael Tsuhida and the group Gyre with Ross Birdwise (click here for event details)
Electronic Music Performance by Tim Gerwing
Thursday, Feb 25th
6:00 – 8:00pm
Price: $5
Tim Gerwing (PDF bio) was born in Canada, but spent his early childhood in Germany. Traditional music lessons began early on piano and percussion. Piano studies continued in Canada throughout his teen years. However, the confines of the classical world pushed him to experiment with jazz, electronic, new age, progressive rock/pop, and Middle and Far Eastern musics. The purchase of his first synthesizer and electric guitar in the late 80’s were turning points and shaped what was to become his signature sound.
His newest album is “Chikatetsu“, an eclectic and rich tapestry of electronic soundscapes based loosely on his experiences of living in Japan and modern life.
