THIS WEEK: Jem Cohen & friends + the science of smell Is this email not displaying correctly? View it in your browser. PERFORMANCE: QUOTE UNQUOTE Jem Cohen: We Have An Anchor FRIDAY, APRIL 27, 8 PM TICKETS This premiere of Cohen's EMPAC-commissioned project is a documentary-based hybrid built from film footage of Nova Scotia, various texts, and live music featuring such stellar musicians as: Guy Picciotto (Fugazi) Efrim Menuck (founder, Godspeed You! Black Emperor) T. Griffin (Shiny Little Records) Jim White (Dirty Three) Jessica Moss (Silver Mt. Zion) Sophie Trudeau (Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Silver Mt. Zion). As an artist who has explored and deplored the disappearance of regional character brought on by corporate-driven homogeneity, the discovery of Cape Breton was a revelation for Cohen, who describes it as a place as beautiful as any he has ever seen throughout his travels, but one that remains elusive and deeply "itself."
