SUMMARY:Cover Story - Deborah DeJong in the Massy Gallery
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the opening of Deborah DeJong’s Cover Story at the Massy Gallery.\n\n\n \n\n\nOpening Reception\, September 21st at 2pm\n\n\nExhibiting September 17th through till October 15.\n\n\n \n\n\nThis visual show invites the viewer to get ‘under the covers\,’ to intentionally consider any words that emerge from the mind in the encounter with the work.\n\n\n \n\n\nIt acknowledges the complexity of what we see; it invites us to ‘read’ past the ‘headlines’ of an image and become receptive to connecting with elements below its—and our—surface.\n\n\n \n\n\nThis show invites the viewer to act\, and more specifically\, to WRITE: express; be moved; comment; be piqued; engage; be enflamed.\n\n\n\nIn fact\, this show presents the viewer with the impetus to scribe not only a few words or phrases\, but to draft a full-on poem! Intended as the footing for an entire poetry session in mid-October\, poems that are submitted will be read aloud (by you\, the poet\, if you so choose\, or a volunteer—we’ve got you covered) on the evening of Wednesday\, October 16th\, right here at Massy Books.\n\n\n \n\n\nDeborah DeJong\, a photographer with a daily drawing discipline\, secretly writes the occasional poem in her spare time. A one-time elementary school teacher who’s been on a long recess\, soon she’ll be getting back to class! Attending Poet’s Corner\, a monthly gathering held here at Massy Books\, satisfies DeJong’s artistic urges on two levels: the poetic\, and the photographic. Having had her images featured in numerous group shows over the past few years\, Cover Story is DeJong’s first solo show.\n\n\n.\n\n\n.\n\n\n.\n\n\nThis event is taking place on the unceded territories of the Musqueam\, Squamish and Tseil-Waututh Nations.\n\n\n \n\n\nUnfortunately\, Massy Books’ upstairs event space is not wheelchair accessible.\n\n\n \n\n\nMassy Books is easily accessible by transit! Close to the 22\, 3\, 8 and 19 bus lines at Main and Georgia/Gore and Georgia. There is metered street parking along Georgia\, or lot parking at the Sun Wah Centre around the corner (268 Keefer).

SUMMARY:Offsite Sales: Major Misconduct Book Launch
DESCRIPTION:Join author and award-winning journalist Jeremy Allingham for the launch of his new book “Major Misconduct: The Human Cost of Fighting in Hockey”. Featuring a conversation between Allingham and acclaimed CBC sports broadcaster (and Olympian) Karin Larsen. \nFree entry\, with books available to purchase. \nPresented in partnership with Arsenal Pulp Press and Massy Books. \n*The BC Sports Hall of Fame has a limited space. Please RSVP early on Eventbrite to secure your seat. As a courtesy to others\, if you are no longer able to attend\, please cancel your reservation so others may reserve a ticket.* \nABOUT THE BOOK\nEvery night in hockey arenas across Canada and the United States\, modern-day gladiators drop their gloves and exchange bare-fisted blows to the bloodthirsty roars of the paying public. Tens of millions of people a year\, including children\, watch and cheer on the fighters. Some players are paid handsomely; others barely a living wage. But either way\, these fighters are lauded\, valued\, and considered to be essential to the game. That is\, until their playing days are over. Hockey enforcers spend their lives fighting on ice to protect their teammates and entertain their fans\, but when their playing days are over\, who’s left to fight for them? \nMajor Misconduct scrutinizes a highly dangerous and controversial cultural practice. The book dives deep into the lives of three former hockey fighters who\, years after their playing days ended\, are still struggling with the pain and suffering that comes from bare-knuckle boxing on ice. All of these men believe they may be living with the degenerative brain disease chronic traumatic encephalopathy. They may have had their shot at pro hockey glory\, but none of them is rich or famous\, and the game has left them with injuries and trauma. They have experienced estrangement\, mental health issues\, addiction\, and brushes with the law. And they’ve stared death in the face. \nThe debate surrounding fighting in hockey is hotly contested on both sides. This daring and revelatory book explores the lives of those who bare-knuckle boxed on ice for a living and investigates the human cost we’re willing to tolerate in the name of hockey fighting. \nABOUT THE AUTHOR\nJeremy Allingham is an award-winning journalist and musician from Vancouver. He works for the CBC\, where some of his most recent and poignant work has included in-depth coverage of fighting in junior hockey; the opioid crisis; climate catastrophe and the energy industry; the craft beer industry; local\, provincial\, and federal politics; and pretty much anything and everything sports and music related. \nVENUE AND ACCESSIBILITY INFORMATION\nPlease enter through Gate A\, located off of Beatty Street. The BC Sports Hall of Fame is wheelchair accessible. Washrooms are gendered with wheelchair accessible stalls in the men’s and women’s washrooms. \nIf you have additional questions about accessibility\, please get in touch with Rebecca Peng\, publicist:\nrebecca@zgcommunications.com
