Doing Things ‘n Stuff: An accumulation of actions, relics, recent work, and more from John G. Boehme
Open Space presents Doing Things ‘n Stuff: An accumulation of actions, relics, recent work, and more from John G. Boehme. Opening on September 13 with a reception on September 20, the month-long exhibition will highlight the international practice of Victoria-based performance artist John G. Boehme and cast a light on the vibrant performance art community within the city.
Over the past twenty-five years Boehme has created a body of work that explores his own physicality in relation to materials and processes. Often situating his work in critical response to current issues and concerns of contemporary performance art, Boehme works with sculpture, video, and live action, at times simultaneously, integrating materials, media, and processes into installations and time-based events.
For Boehme, “physical involvement is the most thorough and embodied way in which to create meaning.” In his durational works, “both the artist and the audience become privy to knowledge available only through this kind of commitment.”
Boehme is an undeniable presence in the Victoria performance art community, and the Open Space exhibition will offer the opportunity for the public to witness a series of past and current works, including installations, sculptures, videos, and printed matter.
Exhibition: September 13-October 12, Tues-Sat, 12-5pm
Opening reception: Friday, September 20, 7-9pm
Performance: Thursday, October 10, 7:00pm

Artist Statement
My paintings celebrate our human spirit.
As humans we often forget to take the time to find our joy, yet it surrounds us. We can find it in the colours of spring, along a forest path, or in the face of another. It’s in child’s play, laughter, and love.
I want my images to stir your soul; is there a trace of you in a brush stroke? If it whispers to you, then you will find your joy.
Arden is a Victoria based artist and member of VAC, Zebra Arts Collective, and SPAC. She has been painting for 10+ years and has taken part in the Fairfield Artist Studio Tour, Bowker Creek Brush Up and was the Artist is Residence at the Parkside Hotel & Spa. She has also participated in several Live Painting shows including Art Battle.
Art Show and Reception
Sunday, September 29, 1–3 p.m. in the Lounge.

THE PLAY
The harrowing and fully jazzed-up tale of one person’s attempt to make it in the big city, the spiral down, and the redemption.
Christian Martin's semi-autobiographical account of his time in New York City kicks off with a goodbye to his old friend Matthew Payne (who is also directing the show), as Christian leaves on a bus with literally $1 in his pocket and a dream in his heart. From there we meet dozens of people who move in and out of his life, all performed by Christian himself and underscored by a jazz duo on drums and trumpet.
