ABM: Artist Talk with Shawn Kuruneru & Jennifer Castle: Box of Rain, Thursday, October 15, 12PM PST, Online (youtube) A video conversation between Shawn Kuruneru and Jennifer Castle about their recent collaboration Box of Rain. Box of Rain is a new publication comprised of poems by singer-songwriter Jennifer Castle and drawings by visual artist Shawn Kuruneru. Approaching the book in the same spirit as Dada artist games of the 1920s, Jennifer would send poems to Shawn to tu...rn into comics by drawing random images, often the first thing that came to his mind. With very few words, we simply sent and shared, and Shawn drew to the poems he was drawn to, no context, no explanation. I wrote mostly in the mornings when I wasn't on tour with the intention that by writing poems daily and consistently I would plant seeds to expand my publishing from music to include the written page. A creative experiment in chance, drawing and language, Box of Rain collects over a years work in this first collaboration between these two Canadian artists.

For four weeks in October, hosts Manuel Axel Strain and Stephanie Gagne interview a local writer, artist or curator about their practices and opinions. Instead of just saying a lot of negative things about Vancouver’s art scene, this audio...book celebrates gossiping as a means of satirically responding to current political and artistic movements. Each gossip session begins with an introductory text featuring a theme and special guest, as they collectively discuss their opinions, identities, fields and sense of place. With the use of frivolous stories and cheesy facts, Sh*t Talk tackles not only the things that bother us but the politics surrounding art and book making.

ABM: Spunkt Art Now, October 131, Maison de la culture Janine-Sutto (2550 E Ontario St, Montreal, QC, Frontenac Metro Station). Spunkt Art Now is an investigation into the influences and manifestations of punk in contemporary art. The parallels between punk and contemporary art are deeply rooted in the notion of avant-garde. Indeed, punk borrows its arrogance, sense of provocation and nihilism from well-known artistic movements such as Situationism, Dada and Futurism. But... how does this unique legacy translate to the contemporary moment? What might punk offer to contemporary art and its audiences? A channel for anger? A cannon of political movements? Spunkt Art Now brings to the fore the living aesthetics of the punk movement through performances, exhibitions and a publication.
