The Miss Guides: A Cultural Walkin g Collective invites you to celebrate their inauguration. Festivit ies will take place on Sunday\, June 7\, from 8pm to 12am at Six Acres (203 Carrall Street)\, one of Vancouver’s oldest brick buildings. The evening w ill include site-specific sound works in the washrooms (featuring the dulce t tones of Gregor Robertson\, Richard Florida\, Tim Cresswell\, et al.< /em>)\, an interactive web station\, bed-sheet projections in the windows\, and a sneak-peak of The Miss Guides’ upcoming street performance:Walki ng the Ruins: Fragments of Vancouver. Don't miss it. Gassy Jack marks the spot.
The Miss Guides\, a Vancouver-based collective\, includes a
rtistsNatalie Doonan\, Sean George\, and Katherine
Somody\, who have worked together as 'Animateurs' (the haughty Fr
ench name for 'Tour Guides')\, for the past three years. This summer\, they
are departing the staid confines of the White-Walled Gallery and are takin
g on The City\, with the same insightful commentary and deep study they bro
ught to traditional artistic works in the gallery: from Tour Guides to Miss
Guides! Using the streets as their stage\, The Miss Guides (who work under
the pseudonyms: Dorian\, kidskid and anna swede) reveal the simple act of
walking to be politicized and empowering - a way of both reclaiming public
space in an increasingly privatized world\, and remaining alert to the sigh
ts\, sounds and smells of an ever-changing city.
