Urban art and underground beats Hintonburg’s DJ Zattar has his finger on the pulse of cool Story and photos by Ted Simpson
Alex Mattar – better known as DJ Zattar – is a Hintonburg local with a finger on the beat of Ottawa’s urban art and underground electronic music scene. Mattar’s current project is his hand in the House of PainT Urban Art and Music Festival
(houseofpaint.ca). Mattar is a cofounder of the annual festival and serves as music director. The festival is celebrating its tenth anniversary and is an event that has seen steady growth over the past decade. House of PainT is located under the Dunbar Bridge, where Bronson Avenue crosses the Rideau River, and is the first public
space in Ottawa that was elected as a legal graffiti wall. “House of PainT rose as an area where local artists could work on their graffiti murals and not be harassed by the law,” says Mattar. The celebration of urban culture includes over 40 graffiti artists from across the country repainting the Continued on page 5

Paula Zoubek’s art reflects her memories of the company town of Batawa where she grew up.
Life is full of repetition Oils, acrylics and fabric render life in Batawa Story & photos by Judith Van Berkom
Ottawa’s West End Studio Tour was established in 1995. Very much a neighbourhood tour, ‘The WEST’ as it is fondly referred to is defined by the boundaries of the Kitchissippi ward, making the tour accessible on foot or bicycle. Started by Don Monet, curator of CUBE gallery, the WEST (westendstudiotour.ca) opens its doors across the neighbourhood into the personal work and studios of 12 Kitchissippi artists on the weekends of September 7-8 and 14-15. Paula Mitas Zoubek is the oldest artist taking part in the studio tour. Her work is a lifelong visual journey examining the history of significant people, places and objects in her life. There is a strong personal engagement reflected in the movement and colours of her art. Approaching Zoubek’s home and studio on 502 Piccadilly Street one enters the world of an accomplished artist. This world includes a lovely old house with an expanse of garden front and back, a walkway leading under a bower of green to a calm oasis with a resident cat bathing in the sun and, finally, an eruption of colour and texture in the art itself. Paula Mitas Zoubek’s Czech-Austrian parents left on the last boat out of South Hampton, London, on the cusp of WWII and settled in the town of Batawa, Ontario, on the Trent River in United Loyalist country. Named after the famous shoemaker Thomas Bata, Batawa was a company town. Her current work is, as she explains, “a visual history of Batawa. The older you get, the more material you have; you look back on a vista of work and see what your interest is.” She says her work reflects a lot of repetition because life repeats itself. Repetition is seen in her smaller paint-
ings of trees or chairs, and also in her more recent larger canvases of the Batawa series. Zoubek comes from a family of artists. Her mother, by necessity, sewed all her own and her daughter’s clothing and loved to write poetry. As a child, Zoubek was allowed to stay home from church on Sundays if she was in the middle of a painting. “I’ve always painted,” she explains. “My father framed all my paintings and my parents were very supportive.” In school, Zoubek decorated the blackboard for Halloween and Christmas. Painting in oils – outdoors only now due to allergies – and acrylics and using fabric in her series about her mother because fabric defined that generation of immigrant post-war women, Zoubec uses a variety of techniques. “Work has to be exciting,” she states. “I don’t understand how people can paint the same thing over and over again.” Zoubek prefers to experiment. “Whatever the topic demands, [defines] the medium to express it,” she says.

KT GOING OUT
Hintonburg’s DJ Zattar Continued from page 1 underside of the bridge, a range of DJs and rappers including headliners Afrika Bambaataa and Big Daddy Kane and breakdancing performances from local Bboys and Bgirls. It’s come a long way from early days as a gathering of 100 people with DJ Zattar and friends providing the soundtrack. “I think it’s really a unique space. There’s nothing else like it in Ottawa,” says Mattar. “We’ve had people come from all over North America and they’ve never seen something like this.” The event runs from September 11 to 15 with events happening across the city. Mattar is also a founder and organizer of the monthly underground dance party called TimeKode. Held at Eri Café – just over the O-train tracks near Somerset and Preston – every third Friday of the month, the space is transformed into a dusk-till-dawn dance party. The event will be entering its
eighth year in November. In addition to his work as an event organizer, Mattar has a few music projects on the horizon. He’s recently contributed an original score to a silent film made by the Independent Film Co-op of Ottawa, and will be releasing a new TimeKode EP in the near future. Locally, Mattar is adding his musical flavour to this year’s Nuite Blanche lineup in Hintonburg. His music will be part of an art installation in the front window of Uncle Bob’s Fab Gear 64 on Wellington West. The exhibit will also contain art created at the Enriched Bread Studio. In his downtime, Mattar likes to scour The Record Centre, just minutes from his Melrose Street home, in constant search of new and inspiring sounds. The desire for vinyl in the local community is surprising and refreshing for Mattar, “Sometimes I’ll go in on a Wednesday afternoon at 2 p.m. and there will be a dozen people buying records,” he says.

Young artists give back to their favourite hospital Story and photos by Rebecca Peng
Six-year-old Anna had been making art with her friends all summer. It inspired her mother, Stephanie Zarras, to put their creations to an even better use. Zarras decided to organize an art sale with the childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work and donate the proceeds to charity. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was our project to keep them busy over the summer,â&#x20AC;? she explains â&#x20AC;&#x153;And to teach them a good lesson too.â&#x20AC;? While the plans were well underway, the cause they were fundraising for remained unclear. That is, until a week and a half before the fundraiser, when Anna fractured her skull. An unfortunate bump on the head sent Anna straight to CHEO. Over the next three days, her parents nervously worried as CT scans revealed the truth in pieces: Anna had fractured her skull, but a second scan dispelled most of their worries. Her body had already started to absorb the hemorrhage and, fortunately, no surgery would be required. Just three months of easy activity. Anna is counting down until Halloween, when she can finally get back on her brand new scooter. Not only was her mother relieved, but Stephanie Zarras was also incredibly impressed by CHEOâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s service and care. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Anna just had a blast there,â&#x20AC;? she explains. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was like summer camp.â&#x20AC;? The family knew exactly how to express their gratitude.
Mother and daughter visited neighbourhood business and found them to be incredibly supportive. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I had done nothing like this before. I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know what to expect,â&#x20AC;? says Zarras. In late July, they decorated their lawn. The childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s artwork â&#x20AC;&#x201C; ranging from crayoned cats to photographs â&#x20AC;&#x201C; was strung up on a clothesline. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What lesson did you learn?â&#x20AC;? Zarras turns to her daughter. â&#x20AC;&#x153;To share our art,â&#x20AC;? Anna replies easily. She frowns for a moment, pauses and then stands up in her seat. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I only have one thing Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m going to say,â&#x20AC;? she announces. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I love those cookies!â&#x20AC;? A wide grin spreads over her face before she busily uncaps an orange highlighter, returning to her latest drawing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We thought if we made 200 dollars that would be great,â&#x20AC;? Zarras says. In fact, their art and bake sale raised double that. Their donation-based event was such a success, and so much fun, they intend to have another sale in the fall, for the Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Make a Wish Foundation. Anna is already busy churning out masterpieces. She dashes across the room to show off an entire drawing set, shelves filled with glitter and ribbons and painted critters. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no doubt the shelves will be overflowing with work come fall. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Do you think other people should have art sales?â&#x20AC;? Her mother asks and Anna nods vigorously. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It feels good,â&#x20AC;? she says, as if itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the simplest answer in the world.

Building the new Carlingwood Y Membership drive 20% complete
Story and photo by Helen Pike
The long-awaited Carlingwood YMCA-YWCA has a way to go before calling the mall home. To make the dream a reality, community support is needed to sell over 1600 more memberships before September 30. If a total of 2000 household memberships are sold by the end of September, the renovations will begin. Late July, the YMCA-YWCA of the National Capital Region announced that they had found a place for the much-loved and missed Lockheart YMCA in Carlingwood mall, blocks away from the historic location which was sold when the costs of renovating the old building were deemed prohibitive. The new location is going to be bigger and better, as Tosha Rhodenizer, Vice President of Health, Wellness and Family Engagement at the Y describes: “New members can expect what the Lockheart location was, plus much more.” After renovations, the Carlingwood Y will include studio spaces for aerobics and spin classes. The 17.5 metre long pool—though smaller than the original YMCA pool—will serve as a great space for aquafit as well as swim lessons. The National Capital Region YMCA-YWCA has made signing
up for the new location simple. Sign-ups are possible at any of their existing locations and at a booth in Carlingwood mall, staffed with Y employees and volunteers.
Wendy Hough could be described as a YMCA Superfan. She even has a part of the old Carlingwood Y wall in her yard. But to her the Lockheart location was much more than brick walls and leaky ceilings. It was about community.
Rhodenizer says that all it takes is filling out a form and paying the membership fee, which will be returned in full if they don’t reach the 2000 membership threshold. “We anticipated a slower start because part of the job early on is to make sure that we get the message out into the community,” says Rhodenizer. “It also is a time of
year where people are not at home – they are at their cottages and on vacation. But the response verbally … has been overwhelming.” One of those supporters, Wendy Hough, is overjoyed at the prospect of a location opening up in Carlingwood. She is a long-time volunteer and has called the Lockhart location home for over ten years. “I’m just thrilled,” she says. Hough is helping with the process, devoting some weekends to volunteering in the Carlingwood mall information booth where she answers questions about the new location. “When I was told personally this was going to happen, there was a very enthusiastic happy dance that took place because this is a moment that I’ve been waiting for.” Hough could be described as a YMCA superfan. She even has a part of the old Carlingwood Y wall in her yard. But to her the Lockheart location was much more than brick walls and leaky ceilings. “It’s not about the walls. It’s about the community. It’s about the people,” she says. “[The Y is] making good on their promise [to rebuild in the community] and I think that as a community we have to be ready to accept that. Now it’s our turn to step up and be a part of that process and to make it work, to bring the community back to the community.”

Literally, like a phoenix from the ashes Story and photos by Kristy Strauss
A brick wall at 220 Carruthers Ave. just got a little brighter. About 50 residents came together on August 15 to celebrate the official unveiling of a brand new graffiti mural, featuring a bright blue phoenix that will be displayed on the side of Charlie’s Groceteria in Hintonburg. “I think it’s great. It’s a lot better than the tagging we see all the time,” says Hintonburg resident Wayne Rodney, who came to the celebration to check out the neighbourhood addition. “It will keep the taggers away, and this sort of keeps it under control.” The mural is a result of a partnership between the Hintonburg Community Association’s arts committee, Somerset West Community Health Centre and Ottawa Urban Arts – a group of professional urban and graffiti artists. The mural was funded by Crime Prevention Ottawa’s Paint It Up program, which promotes graffiti prevention in Ottawa neighbourhoods – making communities more beautiful and safer for residents. Earlier this summer, neighbourhood youth came out to the Hintonburg Community Centre to help paint parts of the mural, under the supervision and guidance of Ottawa Urban Arts members. Rodney, who lives three streets over from the mural and keeps an eye on graffiti in the neighbourhood on his daily walks, says the wall was constantly being tagged. He says the brand new work of art is impressive and he hopes to see more of it in Hintonburg. John Ritter, a Westboro resident, came out to the unveiling to support his friend Alisa Viner who worked with the Hintonburg Community Association to
help lead the project. Ritter also used to live in Hintonburg on Stirling Avenue, and was interested in seeing the new addition to his former community. “Compared to what used to be there, this is magnificent,” Ritter says. “Anything to improve a brick wall works for me.” He adds that he used to go to Charlie’s Groceteria on a weekly basis and feels the mural will brighten up the neighbourhood. Graeme Hussey, who lives on Armstrong Street, says the mural seems to fit naturally in the neighbourhood’s setting. “I think it plays well with the street. It’s very whimsical and the street has that feeling,” Hussey says, adding that the mural makes Charlie’s Groceteria look warmer and more welcoming. Hussey, whose neighbouring building was recently tagged, says he’s aware of the issue happening in the neighbourhood. While he’s not sure if the mural will prevent future tagging incidents, he hopes it will last and have a positive impact on the community. “I think it’s beautiful. I didn’t think much of (the building) before, but I think of it now as a great place,” Hussey says. Henriette Riegel, a Civic Hospital neighbourhood resident, used to live in Hintonburg and says it’s great to see public art happening at a grassroots level. “I think it’s really cool. It has a graffiti feel to it, and it’s an emerging scene in Ottawa,” Riegel says. “I like public art very much and it’s great in this particular area of Hintonburg.” She adds that the mural livens up the street, which she feels was always an interesting area with character. “It was a bit grim before, but it’s becoming more animated now,” Riegel says. “I think it’s a nice touch to our area.”

Margaret Chwialkowska beside her muse, the Ottawa River
Inspired by the river Landscape artist raises funds for Ottawa Riverkeeper Story and photo by Anita Grace
Margaret Chwialkowska is a area landscape artist who draws her inspiration from the natural beauty of the Ottawa River and the Gatineau Hills. “The river has a very strong emotional impact on me,” she said, sitting in her home on Woodroffe Avenue surrounded by her vibrant, colourful oil paintings. “It’s almost spiritual.” So it is fitting that when Chwialkowska heard about Ottawa Riverkeeper, she wanted to support what they do. “The river is so important to me,” she explains, noting that 50 per cent of her paintings are about the river. For the past six years, Chwialkowska has opened her home for a studio tour and fundraiser for Ottawa Riverkeeper. The weekend event attracts around 100 people and a portion of the proceeds from art sales goes to Riverkeeper. Ottawa Riverkeeper is a grassroots charity founded in 2001 that works to protect and preserve the Ottawa River. “I think it’s tremendous to have a voice for the river, a watchdog,” Chwialkowska said. Meredith Brown, Ottawa Riverkeeper Executive Director, is equally enthusiastic about the artist. “We’re thrilled to have her support,” she said, adding that she loves Chwialkowska’s art. “Her paintings are beautiful, very colour-
ful. She does a very good job at depicting the river.” Originally from Poland, Chwialkowska came to Canada in 1976, living first in Calgary then moving to Ottawa 23 years ago. Although she was interested in art from an early age, and studied sculpture in her youth in Poland, Chwialkowska trained and worked in economics. She only returned to art about 10 years ago when her oldest daughter, having often heard how her mother longed to try painting, gave her a Christmas present of paints, canvases and brushes. Chwialkowska began taking art classes at the Ottawa School of Art, but was unsatisfied with her efforts until she tried using a palette knife instead of a brush. Immediately, she knew this was what she wanted to do and has since used knives exclusively, creating her unique style of clean, vivid colours with dynamic, textured surfaces. She draws her inspiration from nature and spends much time beside the Ottawa River, sometimes getting up at 5 in the morning to watch “the light pushing away the darkness”. She’ll return home quickly, the image in her mind, and work to capture not only the colours and plays of light which she saw, but also the emotions she experienced while viewing it. “I’m very happy when I paint,”
she said, and this joy is reflected in her art. Her work has been successful, especially within the Ottawa community where the locations and landscapes she depicts resonate with viewers. For example, each fall Chwialkowska paints a landscape of the view from Champlain Lookout in the Gatineau, a scene likely familiar with anyone who has hiked the Gatineau trails. Chwialkowska’s annual studio tour in support of Ottawa Riverkeeper will be held on the weekend of September 14-15, from 11 a.m to 5 p.m., at 195 Woodroffe Avenue.

Late summer theatre with swords Area director impressed with August appetite for park plays Story and photos by Rebecca Peng
“There are some good gags and great one-liners and there are some serious moments. It’s really got a bit of everything. Swordfights. Pretty girls. And a handsome man – if you don’t mind the big nose.” That’s Kitchissippi director Chris McLeod’s five second pitch for The Chronicler, a play he and his fellow actors are staging in parks across Ottawa this August, including Iona and Clare Gardens. The Chronicler was written by J.E. Brogan and features the famed Cyrano de Bergerac. Set amidst civil unrest in France, Bergerac is led by a mysterious letter to the house of Aramis, the last of the Three Musketeers. There, he not only meets the legendary soldier, but also his lively servants and beautiful young ward, Jacinthe. Philosophy and tensions over King and country ensue, as well as friendship, love, and the occasional kitchen fire. McLeod describes it as a “lighthearted, good summer affair” that makes full use of August’s equally good summer weather. The play’s tour, from August 14 to 24, included nine parks throughout the city, filling summer evenings with the clashes of swords and darts of laughter. Much of this production emerged organically. Instead of auditions, the group was brought together through previous experience in stage fighting
or other acting classes. All of the cast and crew were enthusiastic and eager to work together again. The actors learned their lines in advance and staged the fights at the beginning of summer, but most of the play was hammered out over the course of ten intensive days. “You have to be way more flexible, because in the theatre you can control everything,” McLeod explains, of outdoor theatre. “You have to be less of a control freak.” He cites the lack of stage structure and unpredictable background noise as two common obstacles they’ve had to overcome. McLeod has found the experience to be surprisingly similar to his previous work directing with Salamander Theatre for Young Audiences. There, he directed plays geared towards students in humble school auditoriums. McLeod admits that you can get a bit more traditional subtlety out of more for-
mal stage productions – and you can worry about voice projection a little less – but he still has a soft spot for outdoor plays. “Being inside is just a little boring! There’s just something about being outside. There’s a bit more unpredictability, everyone’s on their toes – it keeps thing a little more interesting.” Good actors are always responding to their audiences, he notes, but being outside adds that extra pressure. In part, The Chronicler was also a test of Ottawa’s appetite for late summer theatre, as most outdoor tours end in July. But this first season has gone better than expected, and McLeod would love to continue to direct more shows like this in the future. “It’s been a really great experience. Part of it is the people I’m working with. I’m enjoying the company of the company! But I’m pleasantly surprised by how well it works.”
