Peter MacCallum's solo exhibition of photographs titled Massey Hall/Guitar Stores is a trip through the inner workings of long-standing music establishments in Toronto. As noted by Rebecca Diederichs in the Introductory essay to MacCallum's book Material World (2004), his work explores places that are often "hidden from view" while offering "an opportunity to linger and reminisce on places visited and remembered." His current exhibition continues in this vein by exposing the technical, mechanical and material aspects of Toronto's music scene as not simply backstage gear, but as key elements of its social fabric. The Massey Hall series took me back to the anticipation of being an audience member at this grand concert hall and relit my longing to play there. Looking at the Guitar Stores series, I stood mesmerized amid the swirl of guitars, amps and cases, and I found it strangely comforting to just feel that I'm upstairs at Capsule without being told where I am. Peter, thanks for that.
Massey Hall/Guitar Stores runs until July 7th at Diaz Contemporary. This is my drawing of one of Peter MacCallum's photographs.

Tim Clark's CELL-RACR from MICRO at Artistree Gallery, Woodstock Vermont.
Curated by Kristin Lucas & Joe McKay for the Woodstock Digital Media Festival
GIFed from my cheap cell phone camera. Where was my real Camera? Lost under the seat of Joe McKay's car.
"CELL-RACR is a game where players can race their phones down a track to see once and for all who has the fastest phone. The rules are simple. Put your phone's ringer on vibrate and place up to three phones behind the starting line. Press the yellow button to start the race timer and working in teams of two have your friend continuously call the phone until it reaches the finish line. When the phone reaches the end push the button under the track to display that phone's time. "
GIFed from Adam Harvey's photos totally without permission because I'm like that, plus he has a good camera and actual skill. (where was my camera, you ask again? Lost under the seat of Joe McKay's car. That's where it was.)
