Two FAB shows: Opening Tuesday, two very different yet detail-bubbly shows are happening at FAB Gallery at the University of Alberta.
The first, which objectifies itself rather nicely, is called We Made This Mostly at Home with Stuff We Already Had in Our Apartment: Prop Performance and Camp in Contemporary Canadian Video Art.
Curated by Chloë Lum and Yannick Desranleau, it explores theatrical objects of 18 artists with multiple themes and approaches, from zany to poetic, political to purely personal.

Show artist Beth Frey will do a talk at 5:15 p.m. on Oct. 10 in FAB 2-20.
Upstairs, printmaker and passionate rock climber Madeline Strum has a compelling show called Knotts and Mending, stitching together quilting with micro and macro landscapes — a nice wink to the comfort nature allows us when we’re smart enough to wrap ourselves in it.
The reception for both shows is from 7 to 9 p.m. Tuesday. Be there or be a missing quilt square!
Details: 11 a.m. – 5 p.m., Tuesday – Friday, Oct. 8 – Nov. 2 at FAB Gallery (1-01 Fine Arts Building, U of A), no charge
Diversity Hires: Canadian Comedy Tour: Featuring cross-cultural contamination and examination for laughs, Andrew Oporto, Bonggun Kim, and Noor Kidwai hit Grindstone Saturday.
Taking no prisoners from either of the two edges of the comments section, the three skewer parental expectations, therapy sessions, and, with love and laughter, their own various backgrounds in various routines.
Sounds like a fun night from that sweet spot of comedy dancing on the edge of discomfort.

Nosferatu/Radiohead: The first of a new series of films dubbed Silents Synced created by Austin, Texas, drive-in theatre owner Josh Frank, the chocolate of 1923’s tonal classic Nosferatu is dipped in the peanut butter of Radiohead’s Kid A and Amnesiac in what looks to be a delicious experiment in A/V.
