GALLERY | Piera Pugliese: Rumination
Piera Pugliese is a landscape painter who lives in the big city. The concepts behind Rumination began to take shape when Pugliese began fervently painting a series of 15 internal landscapes; abstracts related to the body. Bearing multitudes of lines and ribbons, each work made reference to endoscopies, laparoscopies, fascias and trigger points that both filled her mind and diverted her attention in the studio.
AWOL Gallery, 78 Ossington Ave

MUSIC | Kassav' Live at the Phoenix
As the originators of Zouk music, Kassav' created the sound of the Caribbean by blending Salsa, Compas and Reggae with Haitian French-language lyrics and a wild, carnival-esque sense of theatricality, all of which combine to make Kassav' one of the most thrilling live shows to hit Toronto this summer!
Phoenix Concert Theatre, 410 Sherbourne St / $49.50

MUSIC | Alan Shiner
Alan Shiner has enjoyed a career that has seen him write songs for pop icons like Mariah Carey, and work as music director/conductor for acts like The Pointer Sisters and Harry Belafonte, although he may be more recognised locally for his ridiculously catchy jingles, including "967-11-11, phone Pizza Pizza, hey hey hey!" and the unforgettable "sleep country Canada, why buy a mattress anywhere else!"
