As special programming for our 20th edition this year (2018) we invited American artist and archivist Keith Fullerton Whitman to curate a program of obscure Canadian electronic music. Digging through crates, libraries and more Whitman sourced original vinyl copies of all of the works that were brought together for this incredible 3-hour playlist, which is presented in a lovely listening lounge at Poolside Gallery in the Exchange District. Accompanying this special program is the entire poster archive of the past 20 years of send + receive!

We present this wonderful adventure through Canadian music history in partnership with Poolside Gallery / Video Pool Media Arts Centre and with a generous furniture sponsorship from EQ3 – until November 3.
