WE MADE A DEAL WITH THE DEVIL TOUR
@ Project 165 > 165 Augusta Ave
$5 suggested
(drawing by Rob Mirsky)

"broken conversation" drawing event by me (below)
Drawings, installation, performance and other projects by Alex Bowron, Allison Moore, Andrzej Tarasiuk, Karol Orzechowski, Lisa Keophila, Rick Kresta, Ryan Solski, Ryan Ringer and many other wicked little Deal Makers... who all made me feel very welcomed for the tour! This is a great project that integrates and promotes artistic ideas and spits them out at their surroundings literally! It's a very friendly atmosphere that welcomes artists and passer-byers alike. We Made a Deal with the Devil was originally cooked-up by Ryan Ringer... although now the project includes many talented artists from all parts of Canada. I'm excited to join them in a few of their tour stops.
Performing : Garbageface + TonkaPuma
I had the pleasure to work along side the wicked sounds made by Garbageface (Karol). It was great to draw with a DJ and, naturally, respond to his sound-making with my mark-making! Also - his live performance awakened the rhythms in our minds!
Montreal tour spots:
-------------------------
August 15
@ CENTRE CHAT BLEU (w/ Indyish) (night) - 8PM

painting event by olka, aka me
I would like to first of all thank all those that had helped with the project; the entire wonderful staff of the Art Gallery of Mississauga and my sister Sylwia, and to all those who have came to visit me during the painting event. Thank you for your wonderful enthousiasm and your much appreciated support! The event took place in the skate park in Mississauga at the back of AGM on Sunday July 12th. I painted on a wall where my good friend Jeff Garcia, aka Mangoe Peeler, painted before - notice I left some of his work still... that of which still existed anyways.
Here is the story of the painting... borrowing artichoke hearts, with the help of a friend of mine, the horse-head:








the painting can be seen at any time for as long as it exists.
