Silent and Present: What’s that sound? Silence! In this complementary collection of artworks, seven Alberta artists express ways of perceiving silence. This new showcase of abstract works delivers a broad spectrum of styles, from expressionist to minimalistic — some of which push boundaries or visual traditions. Curated by Asal Andarzipour, the artists are Rachel Hepler, Darren Kooyman, Carla Lam, Riddhi Patel, Deann Stein Hasinoff, Ania Telfer and Unity. The gallery is open Saturdays noon-3 p.m. or book a viewing at bleedingheart.space.

The Dice Cubes: Keeping that rock ’n’ roll/rockabilly Flintstones vibe alive and sweaty on the Prairies, Edmonton torch-holders The Dice Cubes will shuffle and shake on that cosy little Black Dog stage as the barflies peer down from the back, wishing they’d sat up front instead of moaning in the dark. Last year the band let loose an amazing idea in album form, paying tribute to obscure Canadian rockabilly from the ’50s, the idea first proposed to them by Lefty Lethbridge of CJSR’s The Rockenrolleum. So besides being fun there’s a chance to get to engage a little cultural history. And, you know, pints of suds as well.
