The Ear - Launch Party at Gallery Gachet

We were at Gallery Gachet last week celebrating the launch of their new arts and literary journal - The Ear.

The Ear is published three times a year by Gachet Publications, an arm of Gallery Gachet. Its mandate is to provide a space for marginalized, professional artists to publish their work. Each journal will feature literary and visual contributions; stories, poems, essays, photography, drawings and paintings. This issue’s theme is “atypical perspectives”, a celebration of work that looks at reality through diverse perceptions. Read the bios of contributing artists here.

It was a night of good music and amazing talent! The line-up included a sing-a-long by Vanessa Richards, performances by DB Buxton, Misha-Q, The Shottas and a special guest appearance by C.R Avery.

DB Buxton and his sweet guitar!
I couldn't figure out why he would tune it so many times while he was playing and remember thinking to myself that this guitar must be really old. It produces quite a unique sound nonetheless, you gotta spare a few minutes and take a listen to his music here.

The multi-talented slam poet C.R. Avery who combines poetry with beat-boxing and blues. CBC Radio 3 describes him as an "electrifying performer". It was a treat to watch him live.

The Motion Sickness Animation Collective also contributed that night with projected visuals which accompanied the performance of Misha-Q and The Shottas. Here is a short clip:

And of course, what is a party without Cheese Photobooths? Here's a shout-out to Cameron! We love your photobooth. Next time we will attempt to break your record again, we only managed 10 in the end.

Peace out!
