Stewart Paley
UNCUT
September 7-29, 2001
Opening Friday, September 7 at 8 pm
These large scale (5'X6') painting collages resist
being read as abstracts or narrative, landscape or
figure. Much of Paley's materials involve magazine
photographs that are cut and manipulated to engulf
the viewer into a world of chaotic thoughts and
emotions. The densely coated surfaces seduce
viewers into associations and narratives of their
own making. His developed use of collage combined
with paint covers new ground in the medium.
Stewart Paley was born in NYC in 1940 and studied
at the Carnegie Institute of Technology. He has
lived in Vancouver since the early 1970's.
This opening is a part of SWARM, a city-wide
celebration of artist-run culture produced by PAARC
(Pacific Association of Artist Run Centres).

Peter Morin
THESE ARE MY CREATIONS, SAID THE CROW,
YOU CANT TAKE THEM AWAY.

"Gentrification: to see vacant space as an
opportunity, where certain things become possible
that wouldn't be in more expensive parts of town.
Get it while you can. An us and them situation:
those who have been here before and those who are
just moving in (and sometimes we can be either 'us'
or 'them', or both). The writing's on the wall: who's
moving in next, who's leaving? Hip cafes and
clothing stores: places where versions of 'us' and
'them' are created, marketed towards a possible 'me'."
The installation includes a text element which will
change every few days. Kirsten Forkert is a
Vancouver-based artist working in site-specific
installation, performance and text. She recently
presented "Entre nous deux..." in Montreal.

"My images are visual representations of my
understanding of the past and how they relate to
the future. They are songs sung to me by the
ancestors."

Opening at grunt Friday September 7 at 8pm as part
of SWARM. The artist thanks the BC Arts Council for
their financial support for this project.

October 5-27, 2001
Opening Friday, October 5 at 8pm

Peter Morin's work in printmaking and painting
employs historical photographs that project images
from First Nations past into the future. This new
series of lithographs furthers Morin's exploration
into the medium. Peter Morin recently graduated
from ECIAD. His work was featured in Artropolis.

LES SEDENTAIRES CLANDESTINS
(The Clandestine Sedentaries)
November 9-December 1, 2001
Opening Friday, November 9 at 7-9pm
"Les Sedentaires Clandestins (The Clandestine
Sedentaries) is a sculpture that inhabits the whole
space in the exhibit room with its sounds and
projected shadows. Continuing a series of
installation and performance artworks using record
players, obsolete objects that are anachronisms in
today's culture of change and innovation, this
artwork is entirely built around the circular
movement inherent to turntable mechanisms: going
round in circles may be both agonizing (in an
adult's world) and amusing (in a child's world)."
Marie Fraser
Diane Landry lives and works in Quebec City. Since
1987, she has performed and exhibited in Canada as
well as the United States, Mexico, France, Austria
and Germany.

Saturday October 20 at 8pm
reservoir is a new durational work by Rebecca
Belmore. In it she will use recycled jars to collect
water and stockpile i t in the space. The reservoir

A live performance piece (durational about 5 hours
and carried out in isolation) performed by Hester
Reeve in England but projected into a prepared
location in Vancouver for LIVE 2001. The projected
performance will present the spectator with the
virtual artists' body interacting with concrete
physical space but from a different dimension and
location. A reversal of experience is created - the
live human presence backgrounded within the site,
which functions as foreground. Hester Reeve is a
visual artist and educator with broad experience in
leading projects, developing workshops and
professional teaching. Her specialization is in
performance art, visual art and nature/philosophical
thought.
This Project is co-sponsored in Britain by Folly
Gallery and will be featured at grunt in Vancouver
and on the web at www.livevancouver.bc.ca.

LA MORUE (COD)
Sunday November 11 at 8pm
"In the performance La Morue (Cod), using two
record players in a DJ-like manner, Diane Landry
conducts a true circle of casual objects: various
kitchen tools, toys, shoes, skates, for example,
randomly take their turn on the plates, one after
another. Caught in a kind of merry-go-round, their
daily routine is 'unsettled'; lit by different light
sources and spinning around, the objects assume
unreal proportions, almost gigantic, and project a

TALKING TO STRANGERS
Kerriann Cardinal
A MILE IN MY MOCCASINS
Wednesday November 28 at 8pm
Talking to Strangers is a show that explores,
through use of oral history, physical theatre,
video, and projected images the similarities and
connections between the people of Newfoundland
and Quebec. With text taken verbatim from
conversations, this show plays with senses of
humour and place and looks at how language - each
uniquely distinctive - reveals the identity of both.
Growing up a Newfoundlander of Cockney parentage
and later moving to Quebec, Louise Moyes developed
a fascination for accents, stories, and personal
as well as contrasting world views. Louise has
presented her work across Canada and in Europe.
"A Mile in My Moccasins is a chance for the
audience to experience with me the tender
relationship that I had with my grandmother who
taught me about my Metis heritage."
Kerriann Cardinal is an emerging Vancouver
Performance Artist. Her work was featured in The
Talking Stick Cabaret produced by Full Circle. Cardinal
comes from a background of physical theatre.

Sunday September 23 at 3pm
The Visible Arts Society will hold their AGM on
