ltmurnauHere's something to do this Friday night: The CARNIVAL OF DESTRUCTION at Xchanges Gallery. I have a piece in the show, a simple motorized sculpture that erases and mutates drawings. This is the first time I've shown sculpture in a gallery.
Tickets available at The Papery (Fort Street, across from Eaton's Centre), I'm sure they'd let you in at the door too. Five bucks. All ages.

Press Release
Carnival of Destruction,
Artists' Midway & Demolition Derby
October 10, 8 pm
Xchanges Gallery
$5 (includes demolition coupons)
Destroy Art?
On October 10th, 2003, Xchanges Gallery will present the public with the unusual opportunity of doing exactly that. Xchanges Gallery will be transformed into a Midway, replacing the usual attractions of sideshows freaks and cheap teddy bears with stalls set up for the destruction of art.
Swap your coupons at the 'Tomato Toss' and then let rip on a
watercolour painting, or see how a piece of pottery withstands the impact of the 'Gravitron'. For one evening only the Carnival of Destruction, Artists Midway & Demolition Derby will invite the public to express their feelings about art like never before. Shout insults at that incomprehensible piece of abstract sculpture or that cliché landscape at our 'Verbal Destruction' booth or learn to Flamenco on top of an oil painting. Complete the cycle of destruction and
creation by sifting through the debris at our 'Salvage Yard' and create your own art work out of the wreckage.
The evening will also feature films and performances about
destruction as well as live music & DJ's. All artwork destroyed at the carnival has been donated by local artists for that purpose. "It is a great opportunity to get rid of that stuff I was storing in my mothers garage." Says Charles Campbell, Xchanges' Gallery Coordinator.
The public is also invited to bring any unwanted kitsch or art objects to be destroyed on the night.
The $5 ticket includes coupons redeemable at any destruction stall. Proceeds from the event will go to Xchanges Artists' Gallery & Studios.

Xchanges Gallery is at 420 William Street in Vic West. It's
near the end of William Street where it meets Esquimalt Road. There's a second hand shop on the corner there in a triangle lot, if you see a sign for Reno Cycles you've gone a bit too far. The gallery is in the same building as "Crossgrain Photo Studio", next to a sheet metal place.
Buses that will get you closest would be the 6 Dockyard or 25
Admirals Walk. You could take the 14 Vic General and walk a couple of blocks across the front of Vic West Elementary School (keep your zip gun ready), or the 24 Admirals Walk.
I would show up promptly at 8:00, 'cos if you wait too long all the good stuff will be smashed before you get there.
Tickets available at The Papery (Fort Street, across from Eaton's Centre), I'm sure they'd let you in at the door too. Five bucks. All ages.
