send + receive v24 starts this week!

Our 24th year encompasses vast geographies and minute gestures — post-industrial dub and diaristic chamber music; working class urban song and deftly materialist film work; original radio commissions and interactive gallery works of playful transparency. Join us this September and October for a variety of free and affordable events throughout the city.
Day One
Thursday September 22nd — 7pm
Winnipeg Art Gallery — Qaumajuq (300 Memorial Boulevard)
CLAIRE ROUSAY
ASHA SHESHADRI
VALERI MARINA
Our twenty-fourth edition opens with a program of quotidian traces, sonic recontemplations of personal and social space; featuring Asha Sheshadri, Valeri Marina and a trio performance of “wouldn’t have to hurt” by claire rousay with more eaze and Marilu Donovan. claire rousay is based in San Antonio, Texas. Her music zeroes in on personal emotions and the minutiae of everyday life — voicemails, haptics, environmental recordings, stopwatches, whispers and conversations — exploding their significance. Asha Sheshadri moves freely between video, writing, sound, and photography. Her forms flow together to create unpredictable observations of the overlooked, while documenting personal and political networks within our collective, imperfect memory. Valeri Marina is from Bolivia and currently living in Canada. Her work revolves around the exploration of sound from her migrant journey, walking with topics in ecology, politics, spirituality, and multisensoriality. Tickets available by donation.

ANDY MOOR AND YANNIS KYRIAKIDES
FUJI||||||||||TA
Our concluding satellite concert features Japanese instrument builder and sound artist FUJI||||||||||TA, as well as the duo of Greek composer Yannis Kyriakides and guitarist Andy Moor, who continue their exploration of Greek rebetika, alongside an adaptable score featuring an ensemble of Winnipeg-based musicians. FUJI||||||||||TA’s hand fabricated pipe organ, with eleven pipes and no keyboard, was conceived as a landscape rather than a musical instrument. Andy Moor has been a member of Dutch band The Ex since 1990. His energetic, rhythmically oriented playing is characterized by physical manipulation of the strings and parts of the electric guitar. Yannis Kyriakides is a composer and sound artist focused on creating new forms, notations and hybrids of media that highlight the multi-sensory experience of listening. For this evening’s performance of Orbital, they are joined by Theresa Thordarson (piano); Ben Reimer (vibraphone); Gage Salnikowski (violin); Nathan Krahn (cello); and Jennifer Thiessen (viola). Tickets available by donation.

Lathullière/Fitzpatrick — Esquisse/Arrangement for Turntables (1)
September 1st — 24th 2022
La Maison des artistes visuels francophones (101−219 Provencher Boulevard)
In partnership with Maison des Artistes, our twenty-fourth edition features two works of analog candor and elusion, soliciting exploration and play. Esquisse by Olivia-Faye Lathuillière encourages the spectator to trace sounding lines on a canvas of magnetic tape, drawing their own sonic discoveries and associations by hand and by ear. Arrangement for turntables (1) by Scott Fitzpatrick makes a mechanical intervention in the gallery space, as mounted turntables escalate a multi-rhythmic din. Open Wednesday-Saturday, 11am-4pm.
On September 24th for Nuit Blanche, Scott Fitzpatrick will be in the gallery, physically manipulating and reorganizing the artwork in a durational performance from 6 – 9pm.
