26 October - 17 December 2017
Curated by Allison Hrabliuk
Reception for the artists and curator Thursday 26 October 2017, 6-9pm
These three artists spend their time responding to where they find
themselves. Through daily walks around East Vancouver, Amy Gogarty interjects
herself directly into the city landscape, painting en plein air to create an
archive of her changing neighbourhood on clay pots. Demian Petryshyn goes
inward, to his apartment, where he expands space through the minutia of natural
aquarium cultivation. Michael Drebert finds himself at the beach, where the sea
and the city meet, and has been writing about his daily encounters of the two.
This exhibition presents their recorded discoveries in clay,
watercolour, and writing, humanizing our encounters with the built structures and
detritus of the city.
Michael Drebert will read from his writings Cormorant, during the exhibition opening at 7:00 pm.
