"Steven Graham's exhibition, "Jesus Christ Abstracts," Consisted of 16 paintings, 15 of them abstracts surrounding one figurative painting of Christ.The schism he wishes to create is both the schism between the figurative and the abstract and the schism of religion in the secular world. These paintings are different from his abstraction conceptually in that they are not non representational but in the Christ figure become a loosely rendered representation of the stations of the cross. The differences in style between the figure he described as "Edwardian Storytelling" and tha abstractions play up the differences and similarities between the styles."

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.

"Danielle's present work revolves aroun the same image. This image is repeated hundreds of times, row upon row, hand-drawn on paper, then placed behind silicone or plastic . The work is personal but it is not oblique. The rows of fogures suggest continuum; time passing and generation following generation. playful use of materials and thoughtful construction combine to produce objects that are unique and beautiful."

"I wanted to break through an unrealistic theatrical convention garrulity. The most important 'action' of my characters is their silence... Their problems lie so far back and are so advanced that they are no longer able to express them in words." - Franz Xaver Kroetz. Request Concert is about the role of order in a woman's life. It deals with loneliness and non-commmunication. She has no words to convey the desperateness of her situation. Huachiman Theatre has been working in Vancouver for the last five years. This production starts Morgan McGuigan and is directed by Glenn Alteen.

A woman in a nightdress, a telephone, and one last call. With these elements Jean Cocteau weaves a we of truths and fictions. The telephone becomes a willful unmanageable instrument as she struggles to control it and herself in her last desperate attempt to speak to a love already fallen through her fingers. Starring in the role is Billy Gene, this year's Mr. Alternate. This is a return to theatre for Billy who has been working successfully in and out of drag singing and lipsynching, playing piano and dancing at various venues about Vancouver. Glenn Alteen directs.

"Howard Brenton's plays are not easy. from Sore Throats his vicious attack on marriage to The Romans in Britain where he alternated scenes of the mediaval occupation by the Romans of Britain with scens of the modern day occupation of the British in Northern Ireland, his plays always stretch the ways we look at these and other issues. Brenton's plays are often described as a meld of Brecht and Genet. He brings the politics down to a level that is both personal and involving. "

In May 2011, ATSA and grunt gallery hosted an ALL-INCLUSIVE event entitled, “The Pigeon’s Club.” This event took place at Pigeon Park, on the corner of Hastings and Carrall in the Downtown Eastside of Vancouver, BC. The event boasted a getaway complete with exterior swimming pool and deck chairs and additional tourist iconography in the heart of Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside, an area where social exclusion and human suffering are among the most intensely experienced in Canada, but where there is also the greatest concentration of mutual aid and frontline services. The Pigeon’s Club was a satirical critique of the glossy, squeaky-clean view of the world champi- oned by travel agency brochures, which extol happiness as an all-inclusive package deal. ATSA provided its own outrageous take on the whole aesthetic of the ALL-INCLUSIVE to better pull people’s strings and stir up debate. gruntKitchen produced a video by ATSA titled “in this mean time” and a video documentary of the project by Elisha Burrows.
