Trace Elements

March 30, 1987 to April 18, 1987
Exhibition
Trace elements is an exhibition of 14 artists currently working in assemblage in Vancouver. The past several years have seen a resurgence of collage/assemblage as a medium for artwork in this city. This form is one of the most popular art forms of this century. From early work by Duchamp and Schwitters to the collages of Motherwell, the combine paintings of Rauschenberg, the intricate boxes of Cornell collage/assemblage has been an important tool artists use to reflect the modern world. In Vancouver today a large group of artists involved work solely in this form and an overview of the wide range this work encompasses will be the focus of the exhibition. Hosted by the Pitt International Gallery.

TOY: Terror Of Youth

January 20, 1987 to January 31, 1987
Exhibition
"I find toys, particularly broken toys, a fascinating medium for assemblage both for their colour and shape and their connotation: hues so bright they become repellent, images so stylized they exclaim the mundane. Their use represents the invalid activities, or child's play, that has so addled serious society. I've tried to approach this series from several different sides, taking toys out of their original context and using htem almost as if they were bizarre humour, with whiffs of surrealism and a few light bulbs."

Mask Show II

April 1, 1986 to April 12, 1986
Uncategorized
"Masks are all things in all cultures and virtually all societies interpret them differently. From humourous to the grotesque; the surreal tot he sublime, masks cover the range of human emotion and expression. They speak to the mortal and immortal in each of us and somehow represent the place where the two intersect."

Jiggers

March 5, 1986 to March 15, 1986
Exhibition
"...figures drawn by seven-year-old Ingrid Gerberick and reprodouced as large paintings by her father, Vancouver artist Ken Gerberick. Viewers will have an opportunity to enter the imaginary world of a child who carefully observes personalities and styles, and to see thie slightly bizarre world enlarged to an easily assessible size. The impact of this unique exhibit is surprising."
