Diffractions of the local - 2
Sarah Shamash | Rodrigo Hernandez-Gomez
Tonel | Russell Wallace
Opening Reception: Friday, March 21, 2014
from 6 - 9 pm
This exhibition is the result of a continuous dialogue between members of “Grupo”, an artists’ initiative, and interpretations of “the local”. Although artworks, gestures, and actions proposed for this exhibition take into consideration the significance of the location, a predetermined curatorial intention is not at play. The show could be seen as a passage of an ongoing conversation between all the participants, this time in the gallery space.
As the second part of an ongoing series of events that began in November 2013, with the exhibition “Diffractions of the local”, the current exhibit proposes another angle on the idea of “the local”. As in its previous instalment, this exhibition speaks to artistic sensibilities, world visions, political stances and modes of social engagement formed elsewhere morphed, adapted and contributing to Vancouver's artistic landscape.
We extend an invitation for the public at large to join this process of reflecting on our relations to our cities, our communities, our geographies, and local scenes through the particular perspectives represented in this exhibit.
