Strathcona
Friday November 18
The problem with annual events is that it's easy to put them off because they'll come around again next year. This year my procrastination with the Eastside Culture Crawl finally came to an end. How wonderful it is to discover the historic Strathcona neighbourhood. Not only coming across all the artists in the area, but also its hidden architectural gems as well.
Anagram Studio
531 Hawks Ave
Anagram is the home and studio of Anna Lumiere and Graham Ord. Displayed on the walls are Ord's mostly black and white photographs. His photos have a painterly style to them. His shot of trees with buildings in the background looks normal until you realize that it's a shot of a reflection in a pool and it's mounted upside down to upright the image.
The next best thing to having a band in your living room is listening to the band in their living room. Lumiere fills the small space with the cool jazzy Euro-lounge stylings of her group Mimosa. Grooving to their hip beats is great way to start off a weekend of culture crawling.
