  • Sending a Dove to Noah: a review of Craig’s List Cantata
    Posted January 31st, 2012 by Naomi Steinberg · Vancouver

    The exploration of “acquisition and attrition” which was my experience of Craig’s List Cantata, played itself out under lights suspended from the ceiling. A pulley system lifted the lighting-rig as the show began and the scavenged, salvaged, pre-loved, gently-used, antique...
