Krisdy Shindler: FANFARE FOR THE COMMON MAN


12 May 2011 through 12 June 2011
Opening reception Thursday 12 May 2011, 6-9pm

Curated by Steven Tong

Please note special hours for this exhibition: Saturdays & Sundays 12-6pm, and by appointment @ 604-771-6765. The gallery will not be available for drop-in viewing.

Utilizing the platform of the moving image, Shindler's animate works address the traditional archetypes and rhetorics of painting. The abstract oily gestures of paint in action bring a new narrative to the genre, suggesting alternative ways of viewing the practice of painting both currently and historically.

Her work has been exhibited in Canada, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Spain, The Netherlands, Puerto Rico, Canary Islands, Israel, New York, and across the UK, Wales, and Scotland.
