It also looks at the boundaries between life and art, the private, personal histories of a family and the public disclosure of family realities under the guise of art in a gallery setting Swallows Meadow is, as Anne Rosenberg put it in her Vancouver Sun review of this exhibition, “a sunny name for that hell on earth, euphemistically Known as a Rest Home.” The anist’s in this place where Lin Thomas visited in 1988. Thomas uses photographs objects, environments. installa- tions, images and words to create a sense of presence. which is lost to the residents of Swallows Meadow since they have been removed from anythii meaningful to them, and a sense of absence, which is what they are experiencing as they near the end of their lives. As Thomas explains in his artist's statement, “The subject matter of this exhibit is my own Personal history. It is a combina- tion of both documentation and invention of the past and present It is about my mother, my father, and myself and the ways in which we confront one another: in ‘snapshots’ from the past, as visitor and visited at Swallows Meadow, in the memories that I have of them, and the inventions parents lived that I create in order to fill the gaps and uncertainties of what really happened.” Artists in the West Kootenay will remember Ian Thomas as one of the jurors of last year’s Region- al Juried Art Exhibition. Thomas has taught art at Camosun College in Victoria. He lives with his wife on Salt Spring Island. The public is invited to attend the opening reception for Swa/- lows Meadow on Sept 1 at 7 p.m. It will feature performance an and a slide presentation by the artist Showing concurrently and opening with a public reception on Sunday, Sept. 10 at 2 p.m., is Heart to Heart: Forces Between Generations.

Space is a dark and hi ride. Rougher than War Of Words and Mutations in all the right Places, Space puts more dis- tance between Rob Halford and Judas Priest Halford, along with Russ Par- rish, Brian Tilse, Jay Jay and Scott Travis, have taken the low road to forge a gutteral master- piece. These 12 songs are vicious. The violent imagery in Rob's lyrics, the savage guitars and the stormy rhythmic foundation laid down by Jay Jay and drummer Scott Travis are a feast of doom that should find wider acceptance in the metal community. Keys: “Never Again”, “Blowout In The Radio Room” and “Human Crate”. A Small Deadly Space is like smacking your face repeatedly with a steel meat tenderizer ... it ROCK FILE JOHN | KEREIFF The Castlegar Sun Page BS hurts at first, but after awhile you really get into it SPIRIT OF THE WILD Ted Nugent (Atlantic) ** This out- rocks anything Terri- ble Ted has done in a fair while but next to Fight, Nugent sounds like The Monkees. Ted is bet- ter without Damn Yan- kees, but he's still not the crazed hor- mone that spewed forth rock poetry like ““Wango Tango” and ‘Termi- nus Eldorado”...this is a safe record for him. Ted's solo band is Derek St Holmes, vocals (a Nuge alumnus), Denny Carmassi, drums (Heart, Coverdale/Page) and Michael Lutz, bass (Brownsville Station). His music isn't as wild as his mouth, so don't let the lunatic car- nivore shtick put you off. This album is shiny and commercial, but at least it's not the constipated dreck that much of Damn Yan- Kootenay publication directs consumers to visual arts Sun Wire and artists from the Rockies and the Columbia Valley. A new visual arts directory Providing information on more than 200 Kootenay area artisans and 50 art galleries is now avail- able free of charge throughout the region. “Visual artists and galleries are a key element of our province's thriving cultural industries,” said Small Business, Tourism and Culture Minister Bill Barlee. “This directory will help stimul:te local economies by giving residents and travellers a chance to discover and invest in the tremendous creative talent flourishing throughout the Kootenays.” Approximately 1,000 copies of the 120-page directory are avail- able at regional ant councils, gal- leries, government agent offices and public libraries. The ministry provided $10,000 to the Cultural Network of the Rockies to produce the publica- tion. The network is a regional organization, comprising arts council representing communities SCHOOL DISTRICT #9 — (CASTLEGAR) SD, PATHFINDERS UPGRADING PROGRAM Have you been out of school for at least 3 months?

KING FOR A DAY, FOOL FOR A LIFETIME Faith No More (Slash/Reprise) **1/2 Heavier than Ted, more twisted than Fight. King For A Day is oddly satisfying, like getting a backrub from your sister. 1992's “Angel Dust” went gold in Europe but made North America queasy, too much fren- come hell or high water zied aggression for the timid masses. King isn't as manic it would've made a sturdy bridge between 1989's Epic and Dust Guitarist Jim Martin bolted and in his place went Mr, Bungle’s Trey Spruance The band is hot and chunky on this disc. I'm not sure how to feel about this baby yet but it took awhile to get into “Angel Dust" as well, so no worries. Keys: “Ricochet” and “Cuckoo For Caca”, Mainstream succe out of the question, ‘but King is a fun, twisted adventure COME HELL OR HIGH WATER bors Purple RCA) *** Jeez! Isn't Deep Purple dead yet? On life support? Nope ... still present and accounted for with a better disc than expected. Deep Purple is capable of great music more than 25 years in and shows surprisingly few signs of weakness. Moody gui- tarist Ritchie Blackmore quit (again) in mid-tour, and the band recruited Joe Satriani to carry on. Joe isn't on-this disc, but as Blackmore's last recorded live work with Purple High Water is a treasure I didn't expect to like this much, but older songs like “Black Night” sound great, and newer tracks like ‘A Twist In The Tail” show that Deep Purple is anything but spent Keys: “A Twist In The Tail” and “Speed King”. Worst cut: “Smoke On The Water”, “Come Hell Or High Water” belongs in your car deck, and should only be played ai top volume.
