The Vancouver Art Gallery hosts the spring edition of its late-night art party FUSE: Gestures on Friday, May 10 at 7:30 PM until late. Drawing on themes of the Gallery’s latest exhibitions, this signature evening merging visual art, music and performance harnesses the power of gestures – be it political, personal, or cultural – in various forms and expressions. The night kicks off with “femcee” hip-hop, rap, and soul artist Missy D, followed by a performance by Jesse Award-nominated artist Munish Sharma in his new work Danceboy: Shots Edition (directed by Gavan Cheema). Kiran Bhumber will respond to exhibition works outfitted in her self-made, reactive body suit and through dynamic movement, Danielle Wensley will confront themes around gender, body politics and repetitive gestures. In partnership with New Forms Festival, the FUSE Artist Bar will light up with visual projections by Nancy Lee, sounds by local favourite DJ Softieshan and live songs by NinjaTune recording artist Evy Jane.
