rabble turns 10! Our story: launching during the Quebec City FTAA protests

On April 18, 2011, rabble turns 10. Highlighting 10 important moments of rabble's history over the course of our 10th year, current and former people who have been involved with rabble have been asked to share their personal highlights from their time with rabble. This  monthly rabble history series elaborates on some of the most common highlights submitted.

Rob Edmonds evokes Fragments in RPM

Robert Edmonds is nailing his memories to the wall.


The artist, designer and Main Street fixture hangs the last of the frames of his Fragments in RPM exhibition in Vancouver's Public Lounge Eatery then pours himself a beer. Dozens of moments in music look down on him. It's the first of his solo exhibits in a while, but he's quietly excited about it. He doesn't do solo stuff much.


Fragments in RPM is comprised of screenprinted impressions of vinyl, and in their centres, Edmonds has placed fragments of gig posters he's designed over the past few years. Gomez, Hot Hot Heat, Franz Ferdinand, Flaming Lips, REM, Queens of the Stone Age and Warren Zevon all jam among them.

RiP: A remix manifesto

Mar 8 2009 - 7:00pm
Mar 8 2009 - 10:00pm

Location

Vancity Theatre
1181 Seymour St. at Davie
Vancouver, BC V6B 3M7

March 8th marks the date that RiP, a seriously entertaining and ground-breaking documentary, premieres in Vancouver. RiP: A remix manifesto is an edgy exploration of copyright law’s effect on the future of art and our daily activities in a world where watching YouTube and downloading music is the norm.

The film follows Girl Talk, a hip hop dj, acknowledged by many as a ‘lawsuit waiting to happen’ due to his famous mash-ups. His story demonstrates copyright law’s original purpose of artist protection and its dominant incarnation today as a money-making tool for corporations. RiP asks us to consider a balance between artistic inspiration, sharing within a community and copyright protection.
