On Saturday August 18th beginning at 7pm (Artist's talk at approx 8:30pm) please join us for the closing reception of Isabel's Antidote, the first ever Artel residency sponsored by Modern Fuel Artist-Run Centre hosting artist Jessica MacCormack.
This reception will also include a performance by artist Rae Spoon to begin at 9pm.
Rae Spoon, armed with influences such as Woody Guthrie and Hank Williams, continues to mine the territory that lays between reverence for the greats and his own original perspective and voice. Rae’s cowboy-folk twang and prairie imagery is borne out of his history as an Albertan and his lyrics stem from his own unique life experience as a person who is transgendered (born female now identifies as male). Constant touring (mostly on the greyhound) with just a banjo and a guitar has also added to the depth of his storytelling.
