Dave Riedstra - 𝙁𝙤𝙡𝙙𝙨 𝙞𝙣 𝙊𝙪𝙧 𝙐𝙣𝙛𝙤𝙡𝙙𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙏𝙧𝙖𝙟𝙚𝙘𝙩𝙤𝙧𝙞𝙚𝙨

September 27 - October 12 2025
Guelph Youth Music Centre (75 Cardigan St)

Opening Reception: Saturday September 27, 2-6pm

Dave Riedstra is a Guelph-based artist who works with quiet sound. 𝙁𝙤𝙡𝙙𝙨 𝙞𝙣 𝙊𝙪𝙧 𝙐𝙣𝙛𝙤𝙡𝙙𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙏𝙧𝙖𝙟𝙚𝙘𝙩𝙤𝙧𝙞𝙚𝙨 is a sound installation in which hanging wooden forms resonate with the acoustic space and ongoing activity of the Guelph Youth Music Centre atrium. Sounds and movement in the space interact with the position of the hanging objects, changing the patterns of resonance that ring out through their quiet feedback. Audio processing monitors these changes and incorporates their movement into its own generative system, further interacting with the sound. Gently incorporating human, arboreal, machine, and other processes and histories into a mixture of present sound, Folds in... weaves its own trajectory among those in the atrium's ecosystem.

This installation is proudly presented in partnership with Ed Video Media Arts Centre and the Guelph Youth Music Centre as part of Ontario Culture Days, Canada’s annual celebration of arts, culture and heritage. The GYMC’s 2nd floor Atrium is physically accessible by elevator.

The artist acknowledges the support of the Guelph Arts Council in the development of this work.

One Light Portraits is a focused 4-hour workshop designed to teach photographers how to create stunning, professional-looking portraits using just a single light source—whether it’s a monoblock strobe or a speedlight. You’ll learn essential lighting concepts, positioning techniques, and how to shape and control light with modifiers like softboxes, umbrellas, and reflectors. Through live demos and hands-on practice, you’ll see how one well-placed light can produce depth, mood, and dimension. Ideal for photographers who want to master lighting without the complexity or cost of multi-light setups.
