FISHEYE: 3D Cones of Silence
Are pinecones magic? No. Nothing is magic; everything is science. But pinecones can be quite pretty, especially in 3D. Our regular photo of the day (potd) feature from Fish Griwkowsky is a visual diary and memoir of his life in and out of the city.
ART: A 3D exploration of nature and ethics
Sherri Chaba has an abiding concern about the environment and a passionately odd way of showing it. One of the neat things about living in an arts town like Edmonton is that people are willing to try all sorts of things artistically. We had this story on last month’s show by Zsolti Varsanyi, and in […]
FISHEYE: Rack ’em up
Everything is taxidermy and antler mounts up in Dawson City. Everything. Oh, wait. There is also drinking. Our regular photo of the day (potd) feature from Fish Griwkowsky is a visual diary and memoir of his life in and out of the city.
FISHEYE: Building a history
Three views of Yukon achitecture: Thanks to an extraordinary building code, Dawson City’s structures – even new ones such as the colourful apartments seen at bottom – must conform to traditional Klondike visuals. No paving, no sidewalks, no tacky billboards. It’s inspiring. Our regular photo of the day (potd) feature from Fish Griwkowsky is a […]
Kids rock Goldbar Park for Kids Help Phone benefit today
Don’t know if this is just a generational thing or not, but a lot of working Edmonton musicians are reproducing at an alarming rate. And now some of their spawn are old enough to be working musicians, too. Consider Luke and Tess Pretty, aka the Pretty Kids, whose father is local drummer Greg Pretty; or […]
FISHEYE: Here sits Les More….
This is our new friend, Les, master of the paradox in Dawson City, Yukon. To his former girlfriend he asked, “Do you want more or do you want Les?” He subsequently told us this story several dozen times. Our regular photo of the day (potd) feature from Fish Griwkowsky is a visual diary and memoir […]
FISHEYE: Third Harper stop
There is a political cartoon about Canada’s international reputation in here somewhere … Our regular photo of the day (potd) feature from Fish Griwkowsky is a visual diary and memoir of his life in and out of the city.
ART: Block party, Loft lecture at the AGA
Art on The Block gives us pause. Not a ton, mind you. The Art Gallery of Alberta still rocks, and all. But it’s worth keeping in mind that the AGA has made its bones, to some degree, on defeating the “why spend $85-million on a building” arguments by being super-accessible to the public. But the […]
FISHEYE: Two dogs enter
Not every husky up in Dawson City, Yukon, is as savage as Jack London’s Buck – take the cute-as-hell puppy above, or friendly blue eyes below, who wandered up unleashed and free early one morning. It’s definitely a dog town (with plenty of foxes, too). Our regular photo of the day (potd) feature from Fish […]
Rock ‘n’ roll on tap at Edmonton’s International Beerfest – also, beer
Too many beer festivals? Not enough beer festivals! These are two schools of thought coming into the Edmonton’s International Beerfest, continuing today at the Shaw Conference Centre. There once were none. Then there were three. And now we’re down to about two, give or take – but this particular beer festival is the biggest beer […]
