A big hug and thank you to Julie Andreyev for her captivating performance of Crow Stone Tone Poem at Bothkinds Artists Project Space in Vancouver last Saturday! Following a Q&A where Julie shared stories of her relationship with her neighbouring crows, and insights about her artistic process, and the wider complexities of living with undomesticated animals in the city, she performed to a full house.
For more information, see Julie’s Instagram account, @multispecies.studio , and her website
I was lucky to attend @multispecies.studio beautiful performance of ‘Crow Stone Tone Poem’ at @bothkinds on Saturday. This is a drawing of the full performance. One that responded to Julie’s movements and the environment she created throughout the show.

Doing a sound check for Crow Stone Tone Poem! Super excited to have a premiere of the performance today, 3:30pm at Bothkinds Project Space, 602 East Hastings. We'll start with a conversation between myself and exhibition curator Daphne Plessner, then the performance from my new score edition, followed by an interactive session with the instruments. The last images are of the first edition riso prints of the score 🎉
‘Crow Stone Tone Poem’ is a sound art performance based on an experience with a free-living crow who lives in the territory that includes Andreyev’s home. The crow initiated the project by gifting Andreyev a pebble for water she left for the crow’s family. That instance started a dialogue between them, using stones. The ten stone arrangements made by the crow and Andreyev were adapted into a score and solo performance for land-based and electronic instruments. This session will include the artist’s introduction to the project in conversation with Daphne Plessner, a performance of Crow Stone Tone Poem, and an invitation to audience members to interact with the work’s bespoke instruments. The limited-edition score for Crow Stone Tone Poem is on display in the gallery, along with other gifts from the crows.
Everyone is welcome
