@ahvaubc Save the date! Join us on Wednesday, Octo

@ahvaubc Save the date! Join us on Wednesday, October 2, at 5:30 p.m. in Room 104, Frederic Lasserre Building, for an artist talk by Paul Wong as part of the 2024-25 Artist in Residence Program.

The talk will be introduced by Michael Dang, a PhD student in Art History, an alumnus of both the Critical and Curatorial Studies graduate program and the BA Art History, and recent curator of Unit Bruises: Theodor Wan and Paul Wong at Richmond Art Gallery.

Paul Wong will present his multiverse: an interdisciplinary art practice that spans fifty years. Celebrated as one of Canada’s pioneering video artists, Wong has been creating single- and multi-channel works for screens of all shapes, sizes, and lengths for festivals, artist-run galleries, museums, community centres, broadcast networks, and online platforms.
In this power hour, illustrated media presentation, Wong will rewind, play, and fast-forward through an eclectic range of past, present, and current projects-in-progress that will flow from early low-tech analogue experiments to new media explorations, and works on paper, photography, performance art, neon sculptures, and site-specific public art commissions. He will connect seemingly disparate projects by grounding them in form, content, and context and his radical body and identity politics.

The Artist in Residence Program in the Department of Art History, Visual Art and Theory is made possible by the generous support of an anonymous donor. Past AHVA Artists in Residence have been Beau Dick, Stan Douglas, Germaine Koh, Marianne Nicolson, and Diamond Point.

We acknowledge that the UBC Vancouver campus is situated on the traditional, ancestral, and unceded territory of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam).

Repost from @audainprize - Here we take a closer look at 2016 Audain Prize winner, Paul Wong’s, “Chinese Cafes - The Five Energies” from 1997, currently featured in the “Black and White and Everything In Between: A Monochrome Journey,” exhibition at the Vancouver Art Gallery. Wong’s use of the multi-monochrome in this series reflects the five energies of the Taoist system: wood, fire, earth, metal and water. Each colour, powerful on their own, work together in harmonious flow. Wong has previously done this series of prints in silkscreen with the addition of historic images and photographs documenting his own family’s restaurant business along with other Chinese cafes and restaurants in western Canada. The colours combined with these images add further reference to the process of Feng shui, a common practice for directing desirable flows.

Repost from @gruntgallery : All year long, we’ve

Repost from @gruntgallery : All year long, we’ve been looking back on the past 4 decades at grunt and reminiscing on the abundance of community care, rambunctiousness, and expansive perspectives we’ve been simmering in. You have been crucial in supporting grunt as a gathering place, as a home for artistry, and as an essential pillar in Vancouver’s artistic community. We are so excited to celebrate with you and for our 40th Anniversary Fundraiser to commence September 10th. Without further ado, here are a few of the artists that have shown up to show you, a slice of their life. If you end up a lucky recipient of an artist offering by bidding that is. 😉

Stay tuned for more features of artists participating in our 40th Anniversary Fundraiser as well as details on How to Bid, September 10th to 24th. ✨

@gruntgallery 40th Anniversary Fundraiser From 8 A

@gruntgallery 40th Anniversary Fundraiser
From 8 AM, September 10 to 11:59 PM, September 24, 2024 | Online

Unveil the Unexpected by bidding on surprise artist offerings in grunt’s 40th Anniversary Fundraiser.

Launching online September 10th, join the bid for community enrichment by participating in our 40th Anniversary Fundraiser. From September 10th to 24th, grunt will resurface a fundraiser originating in 1998 (or was it 1999?). An unexpected donation to our archive of photos captured by Lawrence Paul Yuxweluptun some years back unearthed a wonderful idea. The original idea? Give a dozen artists disposable cameras and auction them off sight unseen. With thanks to our predecessors for the inspiration, we have remounted this campaign with a new lineup of exciting participants and a greater breadth of offerings. We have engaged four artists to create non-visual offerings to support a broader range of accessibility and platform artists with disabilities. We will be auctioning unique disposable camera prints in addition to these non-visual offerings. The contents of these auction items are unknown and we are elated for the lucky bidders to unveil these one-of-a-kind creations!

With immense gratitude, we are thrilled to announce the participating artists:

Laiwan, Cindy Mochizuki, Carmen Papalia, Rebecca Bair, Joi Arcand, Christine Taylor Fearing, Moroti George, Rebecca Belmore, Michelle Sound, Valerie Walker, Jen Yakamovich, Paul Wong, Glenn Gear, Derya Akay, and Syrus Marcus Ware.

Place your bids online from 8 AM, September 10th until 11:59 PM, September 24th. Or bid live at our 40th anniversary party on September 20th. By bidding, you not only acquire an inside look into the daily moments that inspire creativity in your favourite artists’ lives, you are also supporting grunt’s critical programming, empowering our community, and uplifting the artists who enrich it.

Stay tuned for artist features and further details on how you can bid to have the chance to make a fleeting moment from an artists’ day, a permanent part of your space.

This fundraiser was made possible with support from Beau Photo Supplies.

@audainprize 2016 Audain Prize winner, Paul Wong,

@audainprize 2016 Audain Prize winner, Paul Wong, is known for his early experimentation with video art and turning the camera onto himself. Here, Wong turns the camera onto itself. “Art House Swirl,” commissioned by the Deer Lake Gallery/Burnaby Arts Council and completed in 2023, is Wong’s vortex design painted by muralist Col Urrutia with support from Dado Designs and Judge Painting Co. Rendered onto this 1960’s modernist style house, now home to the Deer Lake Gallery, the vortex plays to its site and rewinds to its use as an experimental technique by video artists in the 1960’s.
