Switzerland does some post-production work on Polite Company's 'Inveigh' video for The Bronx

We recently had the opportunity to 'grade' Polite Company's 'Inveigh' video for The Bronx. We're huge fans of the band so it was a real privilege to contribute to this project. You can see the video below;

Hatchmatik exhibition opens Thursday, October 8th at The Emporium Gallery


Hatchmatik's The Apprenticeship of Bobby Swinzilla opens at the Emporium Gallery (3035 St. Antoine Ouest #74) on Thursday, October 8th from 7PM-11PM. The exhibition will also be open on Saturday, October 10th and Sunday, October 11th from 12PM-5PM. Private viewings available by appointment from Monday, October 12th to Wednesday, October 14th.

About The Apprenticeship of Bobby Swinzilla
Montreal producer/DJ and visual artist, Hatchmatik makes his long awaited return to the art world with The Apprenticeship of Bobby Swinzilla- a sensory overloading multi-media 'mix tape' installation that takes its cues from his experiences as a renowned, world traveling producer/DJ.

Artist Statement
"Since finishing my BFA, I have been producing music and performing around the world as Hatchmatik. Building on these experiences and taking from the work I was doing as a student (dance video and printmaking), this new exhibition is an amalgamation of my previous visual arts practices, the experiences I've had in the club world and my latest venture collaborating with Jonah Leslie on dance video work- furthering the skavonost esthetics of the OLDgOLD empire.

The exhibition is an immersive environment installation which includes elements of music production, video projection, video sculpture and mild insanity"
-Hatchmatik

Artist Biography
Despite being more widely known for his production and DJ work (he's a member of the Peer Pressure party crew and recently made URB's much lauded 2009 Next 100 list), Montreal-born Hatchmatik (Matt Morein) is in fact an award winning visual artist who has numerously exhibited across Canada. Graduating with a BFA from Concordia in 2004, Hatchmatik has long combined his love of both dance and music with video and printmaking.

A producer, DJ, visual artist and gallery assistant, Hatchmatik is an integral part of, and contributor to, Montreal's unique cultural fabric. You can see Hatchmatik's website here.

This exhibition is presented by The Emporium Gallery, Switzerland CS, Bierbrier and Art Pop. Hope to see you there, Ben Pobjoy
