Rather than circuit breaking, then, this panel seeks to address alternative strategies in feminist thinking, production and exhibition: circuit bending, overload or switching.

Exhibition - Lorraine Oades

To inaugurate the Studio's new exhibition/gallery space, we are pleased to host the work of Lorraine Oades from October 22 to November 25, 2011.

Lorraine Oades's sculpture/installation works incorporate time-based media such as sound, video and film in order to invite viewers to engage physically with the work and explore their own creative potential.

To highlight the history of Studio XX, we will be selling an original Artefact for our anniversary.

Party with Vj Chocobeets + DJ Claire

Vj Chocobeets + DJ CLaire
6PM-10PM

Vj Chocobeets - aka Caroline Blais is a visual artist working and living in Montreal, Canada. She creates under the name Chocobeets since 2005. Why Chocobeets? Well, because she likes chocolate, beets, and finds interesting to make strange mixes and create an unexpected result.

Claire is a radical goddess from outer space. The daughter of a mad scientist and a violinist, she has an endless fascination with the intersections between random objects, performance, and electronic music.
