LIKES visitors, all mediums of visual art and open minds.
DISLIKES culture drain to the 416. Since Mississauga is Canada's 6th largest city a wealth of culture should be found here.
SEEKING companions for dialogue and lively discussions, sharing news about art and events. Hopes to build community in the suburbs and live happily, creatively ever after.

Are you a spoken-word<br />artist with a message to share about the quality of the air we breathe and pollution in our city?<br />The Mississauga Arts Council is now accepting applications from artists between the ages of<br />13 and 24 to participate in the Green Youth Showcase. The event is an evening of visual and<br />performing arts exploring environmental awareness in Mississauga.<br /><br />Formally known as the Mississauga Youth Arts Showcase, this dynamic event has been<br />presented annually for the past seven years by the Mayor's Youth Advisory Committee in<br />collaboration with the Mississauga Arts Council. The Green Youth Showcase takes place on<br />Thursday, May 7, 2009 at the Clarke Hall in Port Credit. The event kicks off with a visual art<br />exhibition at 7 p.m. followed by a performing arts showcase at 8 p.m.<br /><br />Ingrid Gardiner, Development Director of the Mississauga Arts Council believes the Green<br />Showcase is a great opportunity for youth to express their feelings about the environment and<br />transportation options in the future. “Linking visual art with an environmental message is not<br />just subliminal. Youth’s vision can convert good intentions into real action. We can change our<br />choices: - we can use our cars less, we can carpool and we can use our bikes more often.<br />Together we can reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The art display will tap into how youth<br />feel about their local environment, how it affects their future and how they can send a positive<br />message to their fellow citizens.”<br /><br />Submissions for the showcase must be dropped off at the Mississauga Arts Council office by<br />Friday, April 17, 2009 at 4 p.m. For application forms and additional information, please visit<br />www.mississaugaartscouncil.com or call 905-615-4278.<br /><br />Media Contact: Heather Brissenden, Communications Officer<br />Mississauga Arts Council<br />Tel: 905-615-4212 Fax: 905-615-4171<br />heather@mississaugaartscouncil.com<br /><a href="http://www.mississaugaartscouncil.com/">www.mississaugaartscouncil.com</a><br /><br />Download the application from the <a href="http://67.205.89.173/~mississa/break/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=81&Itemid=1">website here</a>The 905erhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04896800291824148495noreply@blogger.com12tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34028656.post-57831821865122350442009-03-13T06:58:00.000-07:002009-03-13T07:07:16.708-07:00Canadian Conference of the Arts<strong>What is the Canadian Conference of the Arts?</strong><br /><a href="http://ccarts.ca/en/">The Canadian Conference of the Arts (CCA) </a>is the national forum for the arts and cultural community in Canada. It provides research, analysis and consultations on public policies affecting the arts and the Canadian cultural institutions and industries. The CCA fosters informed public debate on policy issues and seeks to advance the cultural rights of Canadians.<br /><br /><strong>What have they been up to?</strong><br />Conference of the Arts is pleased to announce the <a href="http://ccarts.ca/culturalstrategyworkshop.htm">National Cultural Strategy Workshop </a>– a Chalmers Event and the CCA Awards Ceremony to be held in Ottawa on March 12, 2009. <br />Against the backdrop of recent cuts to arts and cultural programs, an election campaign where the arts and culture featured as a key national issue, and an international crisis the Canadian economy in jeopardy, this Workshop will present an opportunity to address some of the short-term and long-term challenges now facing the sector.<br /><br />Following an extensive nation-wide consultation with the arts and cultural sector, the CCA’s National Director, Alain Pineau, will present a Report on the CCA Regional Forums. The report will inform this National Cultural Strategy Workshop so that our sector may begin mapping out the path to achieving our goals.<br /><br />Anne L’Ecuyer, of <a href="http://www.artsusa.org/">Americans for the Arts (AFTA)</a>, will share the experiences of the American arts community as it moved from disarray to a strong, coherent, and effective national political voice. She will then conduct a workshop systematizing a five-stage approach to gaining consensus and strategies to help move the sector into a coordinated future direction.<br /><br />After completing the strategy workshop, the CCA will invite participants to celebrate the artistic achievements of the sector by attending the evening CCA Awards Ceremony. The most notable award is the Diplôme d’honneur, first presented in 1954 to Vincent Massey in recognition for his work on developing Canada’s fledgling arts policies. Past recipients include such noted Canadians as Joe Fafard, Bluma Appel, and renowned Canadian author, Roch Carrier. The second award to be presented is the Keith Kelly Award for Cultural Leadership, named after a past National Director of the CCA who distinguished himself as a strong advocate for the arts in Canada.<br /><br /><strong>Read a re-cap, (live blogged at the time of the Workshop) and make your comments here</strong><br /><a href="http://ccarts.ca/en/agora/">http://ccarts.ca/en/agora/</a>The 905erhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04896800291824148495noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34028656.post-38664928745775834362009-02-13T12:04:00.000-08:002009-02-13T13:00:12.351-08:00Couch Surfing + Illunating Peace<strong>On view until March 22 at the Art Gallery of Mississauga</strong><br /><br /><div><div><strong><em></em></strong></div><div><strong><em>Couch surfing in Mississauga/Couch surfing in Syracuse</em> </strong></div><div><strong>Alison S.M.

Raised in Mississauga, Alison S.M. Kobayashi studies Art and Art History at the University of Toronto Mississauga. Christina Kolozsvary, originally from Miami, Florida, lives in Syracuse where she studies Art Video at Syracuse University.<br /><br />While the process this has lead to is not strictly collaborative, the artists have worked on the projects for this exhibition through co-operation, exchange and the spirit of partnership. Kobayashi and Kolozsvary have come upon converging concerns, both formal and conceptual, in their practices.<br /><br /><strong>Alison Kobayshi's</strong> project, based on her early experiences as a Brownie and Girl Guide, invites viewers to <em>DO GOOD</em>, much as she was encouraged to do during her formative years. Kobayashi's work examines the inception of those "good" values and how they have since evolved.<br /><br /><strong><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg74Z-AIaraOpthk7jvWphaZJNFCU3w-N-a6xgIeqIpLKlT1uhFsoD6tOrGIq5kSL_IcgZjPgc1hh5Nx0WxoTi5DWrxfPC3FNie-fi71fGui_R2xYEiOTbW8eG2r_X5HOJIHMF6hQ/s1600-h/JennyGeorgiaRegan.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5302383341061945618" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg74Z-AIaraOpthk7jvWphaZJNFCU3w-N-a6xgIeqIpLKlT1uhFsoD6tOrGIq5kSL_IcgZjPgc1hh5Nx0WxoTi5DWrxfPC3FNie-fi71fGui_R2xYEiOTbW8eG2r_X5HOJIHMF6hQ/s320/JennyGeorgiaRegan.JPG" border="0" /></a></strong></div><div><strong></strong></div><div><strong></strong></div><div><strong></strong></div><div><strong></strong></div><div><strong></strong></div><div><strong></strong></div><div><strong></strong></div><div><strong></strong></div><div><strong></strong></div><div><strong></strong></div><div><strong></strong></div><div><strong></strong></div><div><strong></strong></div><div><strong></strong></div><div><strong></strong></div><div><strong></strong></div><div><strong></strong></div><div><strong></strong></div><div><strong></strong></div><div><strong></strong></div><div><strong></strong></div><div><strong></strong></div><div><strong></strong></div><div><strong></strong></div><div><strong></strong></div><div><strong></strong></div><div><strong></strong></div><div><strong></strong></div><div><strong></strong></div><div><strong></strong></div><div><strong></strong></div><div><strong></strong></div><div><strong></strong></div><div><strong></strong></div><div><strong></strong></div><div><strong></strong></div><div><strong></strong></div><div><strong></strong></div><div><strong></strong></div><div><strong></strong></div><div><strong></strong></div><div><strong></strong></div><div><strong></strong></div><div><strong></strong></div><div><strong></strong></div><div><strong></strong></div><div><strong></strong></div><div><strong></strong></div><div><strong></strong></div><div><strong></strong></div><div><strong></strong></div><div><strong></strong></div><div><strong></strong></div><div><strong><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg74Z-AIaraOpthk7jvWphaZJNFCU3w-N-a6xgIeqIpLKlT1uhFsoD6tOrGIq5kSL_IcgZjPgc1hh5Nx0WxoTi5DWrxfPC3FNie-fi71fGui_R2xYEiOTbW8eG2r_X5HOJIHMF6hQ/s1600-h/JennyGeorgiaRegan.JPG"></a></strong></div><div><strong></strong></div><div><strong></strong></div><div><strong></strong></div><div><strong></strong></div><div><strong></strong></div><div><strong></strong></div><div><strong></strong></div><div><strong></strong></div><div><strong></strong></div><div><strong></strong></div><div><strong></strong></div><div><strong></strong></div><div><strong></strong></div><blockquote><p><strong></strong></p><p><strong></strong></p><p><strong></strong></p><p><strong></strong></p><p><strong></strong></p><p><strong></strong></p><p><strong></strong></p><blockquote><p><strong></strong></p><p><strong></strong></p><p><strong></strong></p><p><strong></strong></p><p><strong></strong></p><p><strong></strong></p><p><strong></strong></p><p align="left"><strong>Christina Kolozsvary</strong> addresses the implications of her early<br />childhood fixation with Elvis Presley in the installation <em>King of My<br />Heart</em>.

To put it bluntly, the young provincial waiter wants to become a millionaire. And he knows just how to do it: by hearing everything, seeing everything, and creating opportunities at every turn. Armed with this knowledge and an irrepressible wish to please, he soon leaves his first place of employment, a pub, for a luxury brothel and finally moves onto an elegant Art Nouveau Prague restaurant. But by the late 1930s, things are changing. Hitler has taken the Sudetenland region and is breaking apart Czechoslovakia. Jan falls in love with Líza, a Sudeten German proud of her Aryan blood. They marry, and soon after Líza is sent to serve on the Polish front, while Jan remains behind to serve as a nurse in a Nazi SS Research Hospital, but when she returns,<br />she has a fortune in rare stamps that Jews had 'left behind.' After Lízaâ's less than heroic death, Jan sells the stamps and becomes a millionaire. But he only has three years to enjoy his fortune: the new Communist regime puts him behind bars for 15 years, one for each of his millions. Upon his release from jail, Jan is sent to live in a decrepit border town. Here Jan reflects on the events that have shaped his life--and to reflect on what might have happened if he had played a different role in these events. </div></div></div>The 905erhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04896800291824148495noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34028656.post-47459310412018380512009-01-05T12:23:00.000-08:002009-01-05T12:44:37.157-08:00Art's Birthday!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjeZb9jr7k4wED2-Me7m3qbdmsWJR1WRCaxSuUj3hFbz6nVsHeh5Ob1wulNJ53jPcL3bGcPhAWSxONGv7hwFvSBLi5pE_OtvJySNJRfmWc1cDYiRzrzvYC3J8As53v5X-4yy3k-fQ/s1600-h/birthday%20cake%20no%20motion.gif"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5287913305672391186" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 123px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 138px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjeZb9jr7k4wED2-Me7m3qbdmsWJR1WRCaxSuUj3hFbz6nVsHeh5Ob1wulNJ53jPcL3bGcPhAWSxONGv7hwFvSBLi5pE_OtvJySNJRfmWc1cDYiRzrzvYC3J8As53v5X-4yy3k-fQ/s320/birthday%2520cake%2520no%2520motion.gif" border="0" /></a> It's approaching Art's Birthday again! January 17th of each year.<br /><br /><strong>What is Art's Birthday you ask? Read on...</strong><br /><br />In 1963, French artist, <a href="http://artsbirthday.blogspot.com/2007/12/who-was-robert-filliou.html">Robert Filliou </a>declared "One million years ago, on January 17, Art was born...when someone dropped a dry sponge into a bucket of water. Modest beginnings, but look at us now. Close the schools and the factories! Let them eat cake and make art! And the next year let it be two days of holiday, then three days, then four, five, six and so on, until everyday is art's birthday, at which point we can all get on with life".The point Filliou was making concerns the making of art as an everyday activity accessible to everyone, not a rarefied object.Since then, a loose network of artists and organizations has celebrated Art's Birthday honouring the Fluxus spirit of art being made not to be bought, sold or traded as a commodity, but given "freely" as a gift.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgaBJNctUpcSdnNgauxSIDhjArPkXI56RVC0Cz5T3NxvVMZkrNuSri7Cfdu8yTCYYred-XOfu5_u5Itqm149CiNQeOMtJq01sR552eLLKfcRDkwvox01tf8PfqrkWC_ofG8kUbLdQ/s1600-h/untitled.jpg"></a> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjoZ_t2nbminkqF0t7nvUqMfF2dbKzSuxqBRjsrztGdJd69o-nbUak8KWWy69tFyy5KwZfhuWHIaVQS7xhbCLcutJQsE9LkEYuVMov7Ec-E0SgEg-aZE0ZlTT80LeHKkSfONim6hQ/s1600-h/untitled.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5287908796181049282" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjoZ_t2nbminkqF0t7nvUqMfF2dbKzSuxqBRjsrztGdJd69o-nbUak8KWWy69tFyy5KwZfhuWHIaVQS7xhbCLcutJQsE9LkEYuVMov7Ec-E0SgEg-aZE0ZlTT80LeHKkSfONim6hQ/s320/untitled.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><strong></strong><br /><strong></strong><br /><strong></strong><br /><strong></strong><br /><strong></strong><br /><strong></strong><br /><strong></strong><br /><strong></strong><br /><strong></strong><br /><strong></strong><br /><strong></strong><br /><strong></strong><br /><strong></strong><br /><strong>Robert Filliou </strong>(b. January 17, 1926, Sauve, France d. 1987, Les Eyzies) a member of Fluxus, the 1960's performance group that specialized in esthetic non-events, believed that art didn't have to express itself in the form of objects. He saw it as a form of play that could even occur as unrealized notions. His minimal-impact works are apt to be made of string, cardboard and wood, the vehicles for stray, vaguely poetic ideas and images. Filliou's ephemeral works undermine heavy notions of what art is or should be.<br /><br /><br /><strong><span style="color:#cc33cc;">How Mississauga will be celebrating Art's Birthday?</span></strong><br /><strong><span style="color:#cc33cc;"></span></strong><br /><strong>ART'S BIRTHDAY</strong><br /><strong>January 17, 2009</strong><br /><strong>Noon to 8pm</strong><br /><strong>Erin Meadows Community Centre & Library</strong><br />2800 Erin Centre Blvd. Mississauga<br />Tel: 905-615-4750<br /><br />The Art Gallery of Mississauga is participating in the Art's Birthday celebration presented by the Office of Arts and Culture, City of Mississauga. This year, Art's Birthday is an ecology-themed celebration. Activities include a Mississauga sound map, sound installation, underground garage sale, art trading-card craft, sound art listening gallery, art-on-air live, radio DJ demos, soundwalks, puppet musicians, underwater (pool) soundtrack, artist performances, open mic, children's workshops, happy birthday choral performance and birthday cake.<br /><br /><strong>The Art Gallery of Mississauga</strong> will be presenting the work of Mississauga artists Alison S.M. Kobayashi and Gintas Tirilis who have both created dynamic site specific installations for the event.<br /><br /><strong>Alison S. M. Kobayashi</strong> will be presenting two installations on the birthday theme. Her first installation can be viewed in an Erin Meadows Public Library book case beginning January 6th. The second, in the entrance of the Community Centre, is a playful multi-media installation inspired by the Serge Gainsbourg and Brigitte Bardot music video Comic Strip. Kobayshi combines a retro future aesthetic, celebratory accoutrements and her own performance in a tribute to Art's Birthday.<br /><br />Utilizing an unexpected combination of water and sound, <strong>Gintas Tirilis</strong> creates a site specific, participatory installation at the Erin Meadows Community Centre. Tirilis's Drip Machine allows visitors to the Centre to trigger and tune unique audio patterns and rhythms by adjusting the flow of water faucets. Each participant's faucet adjustment becomes an original "remix" which includes samples from varying radio stations and pre recorded audio.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.mississauga.ca/file/COM/175238_artsbirthday_flyer09.pdf">View Art's Birthday flyer</a>The 905erhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04896800291824148495noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34028656.post-48164059897440592772008-12-04T08:24:00.000-08:002008-12-04T08:52:42.340-08:00Juried ExhibitionArt Gallery of Mississauga<br />December 18, 2008 to January 31, 2009<br /><br /><strong>Visual Arts Mississauga 31st Annual Juried Exhibition of Fine Arts</strong> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9Jil7ZIZw85ntkhUwJpFUDy-3sMRSvqT-gPhFzBsMtpZ7OLW4dGXskujOKVL7G3390avtjuJQDsXN9JIoAt6xmvMSMpyhEzshFHo0_uCKwzZ5WCh0BxBW_p96TXXXMZ9F4B_ajg/s1600-h/VAM+LogoColour.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5275977137471155874" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 110px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 97px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9Jil7ZIZw85ntkhUwJpFUDy-3sMRSvqT-gPhFzBsMtpZ7OLW4dGXskujOKVL7G3390avtjuJQDsXN9JIoAt6xmvMSMpyhEzshFHo0_uCKwzZ5WCh0BxBW_p96TXXXMZ9F4B_ajg/s320/VAM+LogoColour.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Since 1987, the Art Gallery of Mississauga has hosted this popular annual event organized by Visual Arts Mississauga (VAM).<br /><br /><br />"Visual Arts Mississauga strives to enrich community life by fostering an appreciation in the arts through active involvement in a variety of creative experiences".<br /><br />Visual Arts Mississauga is a community arts organization providing classes in printmaking, sculpture, watercolours, drawing and painting, children’s art camps and rental space for weekend art exhibitions and sales.

The organizing principle of suburban development is the provision of maximum space for the cultivation of nature within the economics of an affordable built environment. Homes and residential buildings are buffered from each other and from roadways with lawns, gardens and trees and are zoned apart from business and industry. The value of cultivated nature in the suburb thus creates the characteristically low population density of the suburb.The 905erhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04896800291824148495noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34028656.post-27375757061202103882008-10-28T11:23:00.000-07:002008-11-19T11:30:54.824-08:00The Band's Visit<strong><span style="color:#330099;">MISSISSAUGA FILM SERIES</span></strong><br /><br />The series, an initiative supported by the Art Gallery of Mississauga and Blackwood Gallery at the University of Toronto, Mississauga is now in partnership with the Living<br />Arts Centre to showcase international and independent cinema in Mississauga.<br />Download your film series guide <a href="http://www5.mississauga.ca/agm/Activities/FilmSeriesMay-Aug.pdf">here</a>.<br /><br />*<strong>NEW LOCATION & TIME, BEGINNING IN SEPTEMBER</strong><br /><br /><strong>Film Series Tickets: </strong>available at the Living Arts Centre Box Office in person or by calling 905 306 6000.<br /><strong>To order tickets online, visit www.livingartscentre.ca<br />Admission:</strong>AGM Members/Students/Seniors: $10.00<br /><strong>General Admission:</strong> $12.00Series<br /><strong>Pass:</strong> $30.00 (4 film package)<br /><strong>Screening Location:</strong>Living Arts Centre, Hammerson Hall, 4141 Living Arts Drive<strong>,</strong> Mississauga<br /><br /><strong>The Band's Visit</strong><br /><strong>Tuesday, October 28, 2008 at 8pm</strong><br /><strong>Director:</strong> Eran Kolirin<br /><strong>Language:</strong> Arabic, English & Hebrew with English subtitles<br /><strong>Running Time:</strong> 1 hour, 29 minutes<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglvEJFburk60MJDHIgGz9pC4fMJAPKosI9uR6S4iPz_H8php_V7tqNvUf_IEMGv8rMl01rNFC4xVHXg-rtjQSTuOch8aBgqflmAXVxB4-CYYwoP_pn7hWjosLv-xH9cCLbJiuqQQ/s1600-h/BandsVisit.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5262273273833657506" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 300px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 168px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglvEJFburk60MJDHIgGz9pC4fMJAPKosI9uR6S4iPz_H8php_V7tqNvUf_IEMGv8rMl01rNFC4xVHXg-rtjQSTuOch8aBgqflmAXVxB4-CYYwoP_pn7hWjosLv-xH9cCLbJiuqQQ/s320/BandsVisit.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br />The Alexandria Ceremonial Police Orchestra, consisting of eight men, arrive in Israel from Egypt. They have been booked by an Arab cultural center in Petah Tiqva, but through a miscommunication, the band takes a bus to Bet Hatikva, a fictional town in the middle of the Negev Desert.<br /><br />There is no transportation out of the city that day, and there are no hotels for them to spend the night in. The band members dine at a small restaurant where the owner, Dina (Ronit Elkabetz) invites them to stay the night at her apartment, at her friends' apartment, and in the restaurant. That night challenges all of the characters.The 905erhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04896800291824148495noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34028656.post-16744991971868577852008-10-08T10:31:00.000-07:002008-10-17T08:12:58.246-07:00Get on the (Mississauga, Oakville) Art Bus<strong>Toronto/Mississauga Contemporary Art Bus</strong><br /><strong>Sunday, October 26, 2008</strong><br /><strong>$10 registration fee includes lunch provided by Whole Foods Market</strong><br /><br /><strong>Bus 1</strong> Departing from the Gladstone Hotel, 1214 Queen Street West, Toronto at 11:30 am<br /><br /><strong>Bus 2</strong> Departing from the Art Gallery of Mississauga, 300 City Centre Drive, Mississauga at 11:30 am<br /><br />Buses return to both pick up locations at 5 pm<br /><br />Two buses will be shuttling participants to visit the Art Gallery of Mississaga, Oakville Galleries and Blackwood Gallery highlighting the fall exhibitions with tours and talks.<br /><br /><strong>On view:</strong><br /><strong><a href="http://www5.mississauga.ca/agm/default/HomePg.htm">Art Gallery of Mississauga</a>:</strong> Emblems of the Enigma: Vessna Perunovich<br /><br /><strong><a href="http://www.blackwoodgallery.ca/">Blackwood Gallery</a>, UTM:</strong> Etienne Zack: Loitering Shadows<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZYkw5dXb56CdoGFuJm3-GGQPMMiWs_78cMmnLtlR15E8azsO8knrdbB0_ClxQtjhj_3rsmSmLia6LrM_bVjjeUpWcSiO2xchoHnYqRKJCly798AsXM_hDjagW107Sq4V1ZWzY0Q/s1600-h/ExArmTwister.jpg"></a><br />Jesse Jones: The Spectre and the Sphere (E Gallery)<br /><br /><strong><a href="http://www.oakvillegalleries.com/">Oakville Galleries</a>:</strong> Beyond Her Usual Limits (Gairloch Gardens)<br />Burning Cold (Centennial Square)<br /><br />To reserve seating email <a href="mailto:elizabeth@oakvillegalleries.com">elizabeth@oakvillegalleries.com</a> or call Su-Ying at 905 895 5506<br />*Please specifiy whether you are reserving for Bus 1 or Bus 2.The 905erhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04896800291824148495noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34028656.post-38257990438842189192008-09-24T09:57:00.000-07:002008-09-24T10:11:53.030-07:00Film Series finds a new home!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj09Aq0oKNVG3r2SwBj3eiyE2mfZgxSqTP4HfjlQ59dYCxOTTFNN904O9drB_58GuBbJNZtsYOsQkLvmzvOvpEO5QY8tjA6fg9TllRldQHlFa574vt71gARuq1Sb5Wum8x8_RCFQg/s1600-h/FilmSeriesLogo.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5249635948217383458" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj09Aq0oKNVG3r2SwBj3eiyE2mfZgxSqTP4HfjlQ59dYCxOTTFNN904O9drB_58GuBbJNZtsYOsQkLvmzvOvpEO5QY8tjA6fg9TllRldQHlFa574vt71gARuq1Sb5Wum8x8_RCFQg/s320/FilmSeriesLogo.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div><div><br /><br /><div><div><div>The popular Mississauga Film Series has found a new home.

He ends up befriending them, especially Tarek, a Syrian street musician. But, Tarek is profiled by the police and incarcerated, becoming subject to imminent deportation. With the appearance of Tarek's widowed mother, Mouna, Walter's connection to this family in distress deepens. A film of unadorened precision, The Visitor points the way for us to a place where tolerance becomes active engagement.<br /></div><br /><div></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqCXfJutpUiQMOnhhojSW9wPnzplc1sNZe0ca2dOZji3OpbJcKV2sPL69RD-fQeDG7tT8QZDPOUiFVD5W5AZ7eArKjhm9kPiGeh5jeRSYGGsTCuT318LjtqQfA-ZnScl_1fYXaVQ/s1600-h/logoSmall.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5249635772104173090" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqCXfJutpUiQMOnhhojSW9wPnzplc1sNZe0ca2dOZji3OpbJcKV2sPL69RD-fQeDG7tT8QZDPOUiFVD5W5AZ7eArKjhm9kPiGeh5jeRSYGGsTCuT318LjtqQfA-ZnScl_1fYXaVQ/s320/logoSmall.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1CISC-9HggljCHjbwS20sFNJtkrFFjeSea00R3fRKgetGX1pnhc7K3HRL7a01REkxrfzWoGI3mRLmhYdl2nRvtOZ_Wp_K1oQHkmoW9yEfWje_gR6VN4abJPE1jQw5ScHE27W-Yw/s1600-h/LAC.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5249636546452504642" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1CISC-9HggljCHjbwS20sFNJtkrFFjeSea00R3fRKgetGX1pnhc7K3HRL7a01REkxrfzWoGI3mRLmhYdl2nRvtOZ_Wp_K1oQHkmoW9yEfWje_gR6VN4abJPE1jQw5ScHE27W-Yw/s320/LAC.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div></div><br /><br /><br /><div><br /></div><br /><br /><br /><div>October 28th film: The Band's Visit</div></div></div></div></div>The 905erhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04896800291824148495noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34028656.post-66759987560490325752008-09-08T09:25:00.001-07:002008-09-08T10:02:17.123-07:00Vessna Perunovich Exhibition & upcoming performance<strong><span style="color:#000099;">Who is Vessna Perunovich?</span><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixl4swcjOqdC23s1OG5q4XLkG43NewmW2Pb45NjBoLnAvEIE3AjJI7p5ECW5WfaJcShZvwxlIeAH9Njma3RVAAR7LtU-ORJt0-Rt87VydsX_PkD_2QDoILSW6uoE3pQ3QnuFsEXw/s1600-h/home_image_top.jpg"><span style="color:#000099;"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5243689960469692594" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixl4swcjOqdC23s1OG5q4XLkG43NewmW2Pb45NjBoLnAvEIE3AjJI7p5ECW5WfaJcShZvwxlIeAH9Njma3RVAAR7LtU-ORJt0-Rt87VydsX_PkD_2QDoILSW6uoE3pQ3QnuFsEXw/s320/home_image_top.jpg" border="0" /></span></a></strong><span style="color:#000099;"><br /></span><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-size:78%;">Vessna Perunovich</span><br /><span style="font-size:78%;"><em>Midnight Mirage</em>, September 27, 2007 from 7 pm to 7 am as part of Nuit Blanche Toronto</span><br /><span style="font-size:78%;">at #60 McCaul Street</span><br /><br /><br />Originally from the former Yugoslavia, Perunovich came to Canada in 1988 and has been continually building a consistent and compelling body of work devoted to exploring several basic human urges and the challenges to their satisfaction which arise in a shifting identity-context and an amorphously altered homeland. The pieces selected for this show comprise a wide spectrum of physical media and format, from painting and drawing, to video and performance, to sculpture and installation, all marshaled to investigate the way our desire for a safe place creates emblematic experiences which amount to dreaming with our eyes wide open.<br /><br />Visit <a href="http://www.vessnaperunovich.com/">http://www.vessnaperunovich.com/</a> to find out more.<br /><br /><strong>Art Gallery of Mississauga</strong><br /><strong>September 11 to October 26, 2008</strong><br /><a name="Perunovich"><strong><em>Emblems of the Enigma: Vessna Peunovich</em></strong></a><br /><strong>Guest Curated by Donald Brackett</strong><br /><br /><strong>Opening reception:</strong> Thursday, September 11th from 6 pm to 9 pmArtist and Curator will be in attendance.<br /><br /><strong>A free shuttle bus</strong> departs from the Gladstone Hotel (1214 Queen Street W., Toronto) at 7 pm to the Art Gallery of Mississauga returning by 9pm.<br /><br />The Art Gallery of Mississauga is pleased to announce a solo retrospective exhibition of the multi media work of Canadian artist Vessna Perunovich. This survey show offers a fascinating glimpse into the inter-disciplinary themes and techniques of postmodern sculpture and installation formats, with a special emphasis on the mutable nature of our personal sense of self.<br /><br />"Perunovich's work employs paradoxical takes on a multitude of human appetites", the Curator comments, "she is able to make a deft commentary on our shared values as embodied creatures who require metaphysical as well as physical sanctuary. In fact, the search for sanctuary has become an emblem in itself for the multitude of miniature enigmas we all face on a daily basis."<br /><br />A handsome and extensively illustrated catalogue is being published with an essay by the Curator and personal insights from the artist on the subtle nature of her multi-faceted work.<br /><br /><br /><strong>Wednesday, September 24, 2008</strong><br /><strong>Vessna Perunovich performs I Hug the World and the World Hugs Me Back</strong><br /><strong>Location:</strong> University of Toronto at Mississauga<br /><br />Vessna Perunovich will be on the University of Toronto's Mississauga campus asking the students to consider physical and psychological barriers-whether gendered, cultural or religious-which serve to both unite and divide us with a dynamic performance in their space. In conjunction with her exhibition Emblems of the Enigma at the AGM, this exploration of thresholds and spaces between people, features the artist tied to a stationary object with large red fabric straps, which she pulls against in order to reach out and hug the closest passerby. Investigating themes of home, gender and transition, Perunovich's performance reveals the divisional space between individuals on both an intimate and international scale.<br /><br />Perunovich is a Toronto based artist and has performed I Hug the World and the World Hugs Me Back in places as distant as London, England and as local as Cambridge, Ontario.The 905erhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04896800291824148495noreply@blogger.com32tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34028656.post-75205485872500520112008-08-25T08:23:00.001-07:002008-08-25T09:30:48.707-07:00Summer photo album<span style="font-family:arial;color:#cc0000;"><strong>Summer in Mississauga was packed full of fun thanks to the Art Gallery of Mississauga.

Her work deals with issues of local identity within the context of globalization. Samant examines the homogenizing effect of commodification and consumer culture in relation to developing economies. Visiting Canada for the first time, Samant will undertake research with the Goan community in Toronto, Mississauga and Vancouver and develop an installation and artist book project titled “Kathajaal: A Web of Stories”.<br /><br />Kathajaal: A Web of Stories will examine factors informing the return immigration of Indo-Canadians to India. Samant uses a multi-disciplinary approach, working in photography, installation and video.<br /><br />Samant states, “The projects I undertake involve eclectic collecting, documenting and recycling of urban debris, looking at the mundane and the profane. The works critique the market forces that define the cultural and art practices of the peripheral nations and question how our identities, within the global set up, can be sustained via a hybridization of our culture.”<br /><br />Haema Sivanesan, Executive Director of SAVAC states, “Sharmila Samant is a significant international artist, whose work is rigorous, politically engaged and socially informed. It is a privilege to host her visit to Toronto, and to have her develop a project with the South Asian community here”<br /><br />Samant’s work has been included in major international exhibitions and biennales including ”The Biennale of Sydney: Revolution – Forms that Turn” (2008); “Edge of Desire: Recent Art in India”, The Asia Society, New York, (touring, 2004 -2007); “Century City – Art and Culture in the Modern Metropolis”, The Tate Modern, London, (2001).</p>The 905erhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04896800291824148495noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34028656.post-30158189760189953192008-08-12T11:15:00.000-07:002008-08-12T11:51:43.968-07:00Radiant City in the GalleryCome cozy up at the Art Gallery of Mississauga inside Adrian Blackwell's <em>Monster Coil. </em>We'll provide the popcorn and entertainment!

However, it is an unsanctioned history which the artist constructs from the mined personal accounts of George Catlin, the traditions of 19th century landscape painting and the experiences of indigenous and two spirited people.<br /><br />Explorers and Dandies in an open letter to Canada Post: Frederick Hagan & Kent Monkman will be on view at the Art Gallery of Mississauga until September 7, 2008. </div></div>The 905erhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04896800291824148495noreply@blogger.com75tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34028656.post-47238567640501433052008-07-31T11:18:00.000-07:002008-07-31T11:42:19.960-07:002 events from the Art Gallery of Mississauga<strong>Thursday July 31<br />Meet the Artist:</strong> Sharmila Samant<br /><strong>Event Type:</strong> Meet the artist / <strong>Location:</strong> Art Gallery of Mississauga / <strong>Time:</strong> 6 pm to 8 pm<br />Samant’s work is a combination of craft and design, with a strong critique of the market forces that define the cultural and art practices of the peripheral nations.

Heather Keung is the inaugural artist exhibiting work on the AGM’s new <em>Projection Access</em> space, situated in the corridor outside the Gallery, the media projection space brings art to visitors of the Mississauga Civic centre.<br /></span><br />Inspired by repetitive daily actions and physical labour, Heather Keung's current media work investigates involuntary responses, habitual social behaviours, and the training of the mind and body.</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"><br /></span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"><strong><em><span style="color:#000000;">Explorers and Dandies in an open letter to Canada Post: Frederick Hagan & Kent Monkman</span><br /></em></strong>Curated by Su-Ying Lee</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">Through Canada Post’s process of approving postage stamp imagery, and the works of artists Frederick Hagan and Kent Monkman, this exhibition asks “who has the authority to officiate over our history?” Critical examination and cheeky humour reveal the history-of-our-history, that is, how institutions determine and prescribe the standard version of history.<br /><br />In tandem with the exhibition, a formal proposal has been presented to the Canada Post Stamp Advisory Committee. In the institution’s tradition of commissioning Canadian artists, Kent Monkman’s name has been put forward for consideration to design a stamp. If you wish to join the appeal, pick up a petition card at the Art Gallery of Mississauga.<br /><br />A catalogue has been produced for the exhibition which includes essays by Annemarie Hagan, Mark Kingwell and Su-Ying Lee. An attempt to produce a multiple for inclusion in the publication, through Canada Post’s paid Picture Postage service was twice rejected citing Kent Monkman’s images as “inappropriate”. </span><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYD6JGPrW-Sbdb65HEUX7dCBJqdau-4FxDgGv3ma2qkV2wpDwIIspjjK60l8huK3GRQ70nAkPdZFm9XLVkJ4yD8vcSPutu4MygHDSEPqIRTa0WrjKcY_t61SHCH8MQhR4rQkvoEQ/s1600-h/999.32.126.15.jpg"><span style="font-family:arial;"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5221380180781836082" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYD6JGPrW-Sbdb65HEUX7dCBJqdau-4FxDgGv3ma2qkV2wpDwIIspjjK60l8huK3GRQ70nAkPdZFm9XLVkJ4yD8vcSPutu4MygHDSEPqIRTa0WrjKcY_t61SHCH8MQhR4rQkvoEQ/s320/999.32.126.15.jpg" border="0" /></span></a><br /><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:78%;">Frederick Hagan</span><br /><span style="font-size:78%;"><span style="font-family:arial;"><em>Exploration</em>-</span><span style="font-family:arial;">Lithograph Portfolio, 1989</span></span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:78%;">lithograph</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:78%;">48 x 56 cm</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">Frederick Hagan’s (b. 1918, d. 2003) works have had the honour of being sanctioned to represent Canadian history. Issued from 1986-89, the Explorations of Canada postage stamp series was commissioned by Canada Post to honour select explorers. Although bestowed the honour of the commission, under the direction of Canada Post, Hagan’s original designs did not wholly emerge. Unable to satisfactorily realize his conceptual ambitions through the commission, Hagan was compelled to continue production on the theme of exploration. Amending the Explorations of Canada title from the stamp series to simply Exploration, the artist encompassed broader connotations through this ambitious series of lithographs. </span><br /><p><span style="font-family:arial;">Analogously, the current practice of artist Kent Monkman regards history. However, it is an unsanctioned history which the artist constructs from the mined personal accounts of George Catlin, the traditions of 19th century landscape painting and the experiences of indigenous and two-spirited people. Central to Monkman’s current body of work are the dandies –“glamorously garbed aboriginal men” with little tribal status, as referred to in Catlin’s accounts. Monkman reconstructs the dandies’ images to consider authorship and authenticity, bringing attention to the exclusiveness of popularly prescribed history. </span><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh44Utr4Jv1pbqbX-EOrEChXkEMwZ_X1dOTtOnbFUpKkDZ92lBlvcxjMNnq-Y8DctRLGeJb2-4NKvHaX6Ij7DQdtP77BE6eIWTZ_IdienW8zNZKHIzckVPYRM4ReGHW10gj0zn8Bg/s1600-h/03.+Faint+Heart+9273.jpg"><span style="font-family:arial;"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5221379783805870322" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh44Utr4Jv1pbqbX-EOrEChXkEMwZ_X1dOTtOnbFUpKkDZ92lBlvcxjMNnq-Y8DctRLGeJb2-4NKvHaX6Ij7DQdtP77BE6eIWTZ_IdienW8zNZKHIzckVPYRM4ReGHW10gj0zn8Bg/s320/03.+Faint+Heart+9273.jpg" border="0" /></span></a><span style="font-family:arial;"><br />Highly visible and widely disseminated, Canadian postage stamps function as communal reinforcement, enmeshing selected representations with the principle annals of Canadian history.

These physical constructions act as diagrams for the strategic relations between different people in social space, opening up questions about the boundaries of the "public" in a city like Mississauga.<br /><br />Models for Public Spaces presents an archive of experiments in the relation between urban space and social practices. The exhibition will survey Blackwell’s investigations, public works and collaborative structures built to produce new locations for collective action and public discourse including, <em>How to open a car like a book</em>, <em>Public Water Closet</em>, <em>Car Pool</em>, <em>light net</em> and <em>Monster</em>.<br /><br />Previously unseen proposals dedicated for the City of Toronto such as Unofficial Entry to the Dundas Square Competition and Two-way mirror travel with Marcin Kedzior, for a sculpture on the Union Station Subway Platform further reflect the ongoing exploration into the alteration of existing spaces to encourage new ways of seeing and interacting.<br /><br />Constructed to facilitate conversation between large numbers of people, Blackwell’s Model for a Public Space (speaker) will be erected in the Civic Square to open discourse around the question of what constitutes a healthy city the week of July 23rd. This circular, ramping seating structure, initially built for Toronto’s first Nuit Blanche, looks like a crater or a speaker facing upwards. Through this simple shape it is possible to sit looking inward towards one another or outward to the surrounding city. </span><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYqE6pQCim_1-UntB4yOwxlsWDS1yI760SsEg6WK7weQgxR3arRXQm9aZze5JIRzTPPe1vv6SleFcZ3d99Gow8Y7blyBJnYxjHWaO9xNwVxyavrZc4cA4Jy9-Q7a1qGN9VsRpt-g/s1600-h/Model.jpg"><span style="font-family:arial;"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5221380687882998162" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYqE6pQCim_1-UntB4yOwxlsWDS1yI760SsEg6WK7weQgxR3arRXQm9aZze5JIRzTPPe1vv6SleFcZ3d99Gow8Y7blyBJnYxjHWaO9xNwVxyavrZc4cA4Jy9-Q7a1qGN9VsRpt-g/s320/Model.jpg" border="0" /></span></a><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"><strong>EVENTS:<br />Forum - Heritage Complex Sunday July 27, 3:00 pm</strong><br />The conversational forum will be reflecting on the Art Gallery of Peel's exhibition, Heritage Complex, curated by Atanas Bozdarov and Tejpal Ajji.

A Clothing Swap is an event where the participants trade their pre-loved clothes, shoes and accessories. It’s a chance to clean out your closet, get a new wardrobe and meet the artist.<br /><br />Christina Kolozsavary is taking up a short residency in Mississauga this summer in anticipation of an exhibition Couch surfing in Mississauga/Couch surfing in Syracuse. The exhibition will feature work created by Kolzsavary in response to her stay in Mississauga. Likewise, Mississauga artist, Alison Kobayashi will create work for the exhibition during a residency in Syracuse. Couch surfing in Mississauga/Couch surfing in Syracuse will be on exhibit February 5 to March 22, 2009 and will also be exhibited in Syracuse.<br /><br />How do artists in the formative stages of their careers assimilate location and residential identity into their work? This exchange has been created to consider Mississauga and its identity as a city-suburb and cultural producer. A highly diverse, densely populated city, Mississauga’s identity is often overshadowed by its closest urban neighbour, Toronto. Syracuse shares some of Mississauga’s identity struggles and each of us, a few uniquely our own.<br /><br />The Art Gallery of Mississauga wishes to thank Emily Vey Duke & Cooper Battersby, Couch surfing Residency co-curators and Séamus Kealy, Curator, Blackwood Gallery, University of Toronto at Mississauga for provision of residence space. </span>The 905erhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04896800291824148495noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34028656.post-40817447807997902622008-06-17T08:13:00.000-07:002008-06-17T08:21:02.699-07:00FREESTYLIE<strong>Thursday, July 3, 2008, Civic Square Stage, 7:30 pm to 9:30 pm</strong><br /><strong>FREESTYLIE featuring:</strong><br /><strong>LAL - CD Debut Deportation</strong><br /><strong>Jessica Thompson - Freestyle SoundKit</strong><br /><strong>Grace N' Style - Urban Hip Hop Dance</strong><br /><br /><strong>FREE shuttle bus departs from the Gladstone Hotel</strong> (1214 Queen Street West, Toronto) at 7:00 pm to the Art Gallery of Mississauga, returning by 9:30 pm.<br /><br />Opening the event the GNS dance crew wil be performing in wearable sound pieces that generate and broadcast electronic beats as their bodies move.

When a grand notion of recruiting regional celebrity and blues guitar stars turns into a suspenseful Saturday night he is left with the talents of one man equipped with a guitar like none ever seen: carved from a solid block of wood, and, unbelievably, electric to save the juke joint.<br /><br />Honeydripper is an inspiring example of the ability cinema has to transcend boundaries of culture and era. </span></span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;">For more information or to reserve seating please contact Suzanne Carte-Blanchenot at </span><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;">905-896-5507 or </span><a href="mailto:suzanne.carte-blanchenot@mississauga.ca"><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;">suzanne.carte-blanchenot@mississauga.ca</span></a><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"><br /></span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;">Film Series Tickets: available in advance at the Galleries, UTM Student Union or the evening of the screening from 6:30pm at the AMC Courtney Park<br />Admission:AGM Members/Students/Seniors: $10.00</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;">General Admission: $12.00</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;">S</span><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;">eries Pass: $30.00 (4 film package)<br /><br /></span><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"></span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;">Screening Location:AMC Courtney Park, 110 Courtney Park Dr. </span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;">Mississauga, ON L5T 2Y3, Hwy 10 and the 401</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;">Check out the trailer:</span><br /><br /><a href="http://youtube.com/watch?v=lsyEx3JdQLk"><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;">http://youtube.com/watch?v=lsyEx3JdQLk</span></a><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;">Enjoy!</span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0
