Return of Le Hibou
LE HIBOU BENEFIT CONCERT
with Sneezy Waters, Vince Halfhide and many special guests.
Hosted by SAW Co-Founder Pierre-Paul Lafrenihre and SAW Founding Chair Trevor Tolley.
Saturday, September 16, 2006, 8PM to midnight Galerie SAW Gallery
Admission: $15 ($10 for members). For $30, you get a year's membership and free admission to the concert!
Come meet and party with Café Le Hibou and Galerie SAW Gallery's founders, past members, artists and musicians. The gallery space will be transformed into a giant scrapbook: attendees are invited to bring old snapshots, slides, ephemera and letters to supplement our archive from the 1970s onward. Our existing archive will also be on view for your perusal, with some video documentation of wild performances that took place at SAW over the years. All proceeds raised at the event will support Galerie SAW Gallery's programming and activities. We will also be launching our centre's first poster edition, Museum, Parliament and Police by Toronto artist Diane Borsato.
From its inception in 1973, the artist-run centre Galerie SAW Gallery has supported politically and socially engaged art, focusing on the performance and media arts. Many of the world's best-known artists, including Joseph Beuys, Stelarc and Mona Hatoum, have exhibited at SAW in the early stages of their careers. Begun by a group of local artists, the gallery was originally part of the legendary cafi Le Hibou on Sussex Drive, hence the name SAW, an acronym for Sussex Annex Works.
