Bird[s] in [cyber]space Profs. Samphire Green & Djinn Proxy

The Binder Institute is a Pokémon card research chair founded in 2018 by Professor Samphire Green at Tamamushi University’s School of Art & Design, Celadon City. Although focused primarily on print matter, the Institute acts more broadly as a think tank for pokédemia (Pokémon academia) and occasionally hosts guest researchers such as Professor Djinn Proxy, adept of video game music composition.

“Bird[s] in [cyber]Space”

“I now realize that the anarchy of childhood – that which resists to the prejudice of the adult world – was always going to be key in my gaining access to my femininity, to my most fantastical desires. Today, I am a glamorous anarchist: I live out my transgendered Pokémon professor fantasy on Instagram, writing honest, heartfelt, and informed analysis of cards pulled from my (auto)institutionalized binder collection.

These self-same anarchist affinities are how Professor Djinn and I eventually came to meet; having succeeded in defying his classical training as a percussionist, Djinn dons an experimental practice in glitchy video game-inspired music as the perfect counterpoint to his emerging practice as an illustrator of hallucinogenic technicolour nightmares. Together, our goal was simple: to cross that line between societal expectation and personal desire; to feel weird and to make others feel weird; ‘to be frivolous, promiscuous, and irrelevant’, in Jack Halberstam’s words, and to ‘[run] the risk of not being taken seriously’. This was to be the hallucinogenic technicolour guts of our experiment.  Now all we need is a test subject…”

– Prof. Samphire Green

This project is presented as part of the RE:FLUX Festival at the Imago Artist -Run Print Studio gallery in the Aberdeen Cultural Centre.

Les Fireflies Day by Day

Les Fireflies Album Release Party 💿

June 29, 2022 @ 7:30 pm – 10:00 pm

Les Fireflies is a trio composed of three accomplished musicians: Louise Vautour,
Samantha Robichaud, and Christine Melanson. The album release party for Day by Day
will be held at Moncton’s Old Triangle on Wednesday, June 29, at 7:30pm.

Les Fireflies, Day by Day

Acadian Trio Les Fireflies Launches Two Singles from their Second Album
Less than a month before their album launch, the Celtic Acadian group Les Fireflies release two singles. The bilingual band’s second album contains instrumental tunes and songs in both French and English. Up on the Old Mountain Road and Nos noces noires are the two first singles from their upcoming
release, Day by Day.

The Singles

Up on the Old Mountain Road is the English language single launched in radio stations
across Canada. Composed by Louise Vautour, Samantha Robichaud, and Christine
Melanson, the song is an answer to the abundance of masculine songs from the
traditional repertoire. The track tells the tale of an overworked woman and her three
daughters who only needs a moment to herself and a nip of gin.


Nos noces noires is the French language single launched in radio stations across the
country. Inspired by Acadian stories and legends, songwriters Louise Vautour and
Christine Melanson decided to write their own version of a dance at a time where they
were full of mystery and magic, but most of all, forbidden.

The album, Day by Day


Since the release of their first album, Les Fireflies, the band has seen a growing interest
for their musicianship, their compositions, their spirited performances, and the fusion of
traditional styles (Old Time, Irish Celtic, Cape Breton, and Acadian).
Day by Day was recorded at La Classe studio in Memramcook and is an evolution of
the Fireflies’ style, and a token of the maturity developed through the band’s
performances.

Anchor’s Up Tour ⚓️

October 26, 2022 @ 7:30 pm – 10:00 pm

The ‘Anchor’s Up Tour’ will feature individual sets of music from three of Atlantic Canada’s most celebrated folk acts as they bring their songs and stories across the country. 

Fortunate Ones, Old Man Luedecke, The Once. Anchor's Up Tour. Image of an anchor surrounded by flowers.

Fortunate Ones is a JUNO-nominated contemporary folk duo from Newfoundland. With lush harmonies rising out of warm acoustic sounds, their latest album, That Was You and Me (2022), finds Fortunate Ones reflecting on life, loss, and hard times, and ultimately choosing love.

Old Man Luedecke is the recording and performing name of two-time JUNO award-winning songwriter Chris Luedecke. Known for his high energy banjo driven stompers, touching guitar ballads and dry humorous stories, Luedecke has been successfully exporting his brand of high and lowbrow roots for fifteen years. 

The Once deliver thoughtful and playful songs soaked with the poetic charm and sunny sadness of the JUNO Award-nominated trio’s collective disposition. Well known for haunting interpretations of traditional music, The Once has bloomed a sound that represents their up-springing inner artistry while their roots dig ever deeper into their idolized island of Newfoundland.

The festival offers an experience that transcends all expectations by reinventing music as we’ve come to know it, seeking its purpose without ever finding it.

Epistola

Epistola ✉️

April 30, 2022 @ 5:30 pm – 7:30 pm

Presented from April 22 to May 27 2022

Opening reception Saturday April 30th from 5:30 to 7:30pm at IMAGO Gallery (Aberdeen Cultural Centre).

The writer sends an envelope by mail to the printmaker. The envelope can contain a word, a sentence, a poem, an object, anything. They begin a three-month correspondence. The artist can reciprocate with an image, an object, a letter and so on. The contents of the envelopes are the starting points to the printmakers work. This edition will paired the author Mo Bolduc with artist Annie France Noël. Épistola is presented as part of the FRYE Festival.

Epistola

Elsewhere does not exist

A break, a crevice, a wound. They write from under-over a limbo, between two physical and psychic spaces. A move, caulking. They try to bring their margins together, to glue them back together, to repair them. A fragmented conversation, in time and through the territory that stretches between Tiohti:áke and Mi’kma’ki, between words and visions, between Mo Bolduc and Annie France Noël. Questions thrown, laments, sentences in suspense. With these fragments, elsewhere does not exist illustrates a process of scarring.

Mo Bolduc is a multidisciplinary queer artist from New Brunswick and currently lives in Montreal. Having studied theatre before taking up writing, the artist builds their life around creation in all of its forms. Mo’s second collection of poetry, Matin Onguent, which deepens their research into romantic relationships and the limits of language through a quest for identity, was published by Éditions Perce-Neige in October 2021.

Annie France Noël is a queer Acadian visual artist and cultural worker. Her practice observes intimate and vulnerable aspects of the human experience through various photographic and interdisciplinary approaches. Guided by their own lived experiences, recent work by Annie France deconstructs the difficult, hidden and ambivalent emotions of parenthood through self-portraiture, staging, and data processing.

Registration, like face masks, are not required, but encouraged.
