BudgeDoomMixz for Ben who asked me to put this up. A little mix I made for Budgies with tracks that straddle the line of what I can acceptably play in a restaurant. I think the M3U file will give you the right playlist order otherwise shuffle it, dog.

Lucky’s Gallery is pleased to present the forthcoming exhibition Perichute by Vancouver artist John Burgess. A sculptural materialization of portable architecture, Perichute re-imagines the gallery space through the construction of a hybrid framing device, a Perichute. Considering the formal architecture of the space as a potential psychic mechanism, Burgess evacuates the gallery and induces an indirect transference of vision. This projection is materialized as a multivalent appendage extending beyond the interior margins of the gallery, offering a phantasmagorical view of discarded peripheral space.


The anamorphic objective induces an overlapping of quasi expanding fields offering indexical moments of time suspension. Both moving and still, Perichute is an illusory depiction of mental/spatial experience; a theatre of memory organized around a void. The invisible screen unravels spatial relations and reformulates an elaborate conversation amalgamated in the passage of vision from interior to exterior and back again. An ephemeral framing system, Perichute permits an eclipsed vision of observation along a displaced axis providing witness to a view of that which would otherwise be out of sight. The instrument penetrates the intervening body and extends its essential parts, a chute and a mirror, up and out towards the alternative deflected field. Inflexed towards the gallery interior, materials move mechanically from a receptacle position to one of authorized narrative. A utilization of architectural forms, Perichute magnifies emptiness, shifting the standard method of viewing to an unsealed union of spatial composition and mental projection.
