SUMMARY:The Art Gallery at Evergreen presents "Wayfinding"
DESCRIPTION:Wayfinding\nNovember 14\, 2020 – January 31\, 2021\nThe exhibition Wayfinding brings together recent work by local artists Leanne M. Christie\, Sara Graham and Devon Knowles\, who live and create art in response to their cities—Coquitlam\, Port Moody and Vancouver—and the urban architecture that makes up these spaces and others like them. Through mediums such as oil painting\, photography and experimental stained glass\, the artists consider the language and materials of city building. \n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Exhibition:\n\n\n \n\n\nHave you lately found yourself walking along the same routes in your neighbourhood time and time again? These familiar spaces\, already well trodden\, have become sites for repeated investigation under the restraints of the global pandemic. You might have started looking a little closer\, noticing previously unseen details\, documenting your surroundings with a fervour formerly reserved for exploring new places encountered on holiday. This practice of walking\, of slow looking\, of being in relation to your surroundings is a practice as old as humankind\, and for many artists this way of “being in the world” is central to creative practice. This is true of Leanne M. Christie\, Sara Graham and Devon Knowles\, whose art explores a common interest in (to borrow Christie’s concept) conversing with the urban environment. Author Rebecca Solnit describes how “walking is a mode of making the world as well as being in it\,” and the same can be said of art.  \nThrough mediums such as oil painting\, photography\, experimental stained glass and casting\, Christie\, Graham and Knowles consider the language and materials of city building. They look closely at the city—its architecture\, infrastructure and detritus—refashioning their discoveries through colour\, patterns\, shapes and expressive renderings. Each pushing toward abstraction\, they respond to their rapidly developing surroundings and the speculative possibilities of the built environment. These artists’ individual ways of being in the world are communicated through their art\, which at the same times feeds back into the world as it is shaped by humans.

What emerges is an enthralling portrait of four generations in the life of an American family. \nRSVP by clicking the blue “Free Events” bar. \nMembership is appreciated for book club attendees. Learn about our membership tiers here. \nJoin us via Zoom. Link is sent out the week of the event.

SUMMARY:Rick Herdman: Into the Woods: BC Nature in Woodcut
DESCRIPTION:Free. Registration required to view exhibit in person.\n\n\nPlease note: We welcome individual and core bubble visits to our exhibition spaces by appointment. Please call 604-664-1636 ext. 0 to book.\nPrintmaking is the art of replication. A seed and a woodcut plate live in parallel; they are both the DNA for replication. From this DNA\, variations occur: leaves on a tree vary depending upon their exposure to light\, water\, or other environmental effects; and the prints of a series are affected by the amount of ink\, pressure and even the temperature of the day. I create my plates with a mind to encourage the chance of minor variations. For me\, these variations make each print more alive and unique. This series of woodcuts is inspired by the acts and beauty of nature. \nwww.rickherdman.com \nFacebook: Rick Herdman Artist \nInstagram: @rickherdman

SUMMARY:Laura Clark: Remnants
DESCRIPTION:Photography and Sculpture in the Leonore Peyton Salon\nPlease note: the Leonore Peyton Salon is a multi-purpose space; therefore\, viewing times are limited. We welcome individual and core bubble visits to our exhibition spaces by appointment. Please call 604-664-1636 ext. 0 to book an appointment. \nMy photography often captures traces and evidence of human presence while observing the human landscape. I am particularly curious about what spaces tell us about the lives of people when people\, themselves\, are absent. \nPhotography is my medium of choice because it provides an opportunity to capture the everyday moments that may go unnoticed by others. \nThis exhibition consists of three bodies of work: Unobstructed Views\, A Memory and Collected Sentiments. These images explore the dimensions of humanity\, in particular\, the topic of mortality. By using imagery collected from cemeteries in several different countries\, some paired with skyscapes\, the viewer is encouraged to consider the emotional qualities of being human in life and death. \nIn natural settings and light\, my imagery explores the vulnerability and fragility of the human landscape. As with all that lives\, things will come to an end in time\, but perhaps not all is lost. It may be that the beauty\, sentiment and purpose remain\, and time is not forgotten. \nMy photography focuses on the temporary existence of time and space from moment to moment. By looking at what may be left behind\, I explore the change and transformation that takes place to shape the surroundings. \nCurrently\, I am exploring and pursuing my interest in botanicals as an extension of human expression with sculptural art that combines my photographs with diverse mediums\, such as resin\, clay and wood. \nwww.lauraclark.ca \nInstagram: @laura_marie_clark
