When Jeremy Borsos and his wife, Sus, took on the remediation of the Blue Cabin, we at grunt never expected what would eventually come out of it! Using historical materials, they took the structure apart, methodically cleaned every inch, and replaced the rotted out bits. They insulated the walls and fixed the floor. Essentially, they treated it as an archaeological site, collecting its history in scraps of newspapers and mouse nests and, in an archival process, painstakingly saved what remained. The humble structure revealed itself slowly over the six-month period of the restoration and culminated – when they took up the floor – in the discovery of almost 40 posters that had been put there in 1927 to prevent the floor from squeaking. In this exhibition, the Borsos’ present a body of work that documents this journey, while providing us a history of the cabin before Al Neil and Carole Itter’s tenancy, and offering us new insights into the earlier inhabitants— squatters, and marine workers on the foreshore.

A collaboration of photography and performance documenting a journey of transformation through gender and the shadow. Photography, through darkroom manipulation of multiple images incorporated into a single photograph illustrating the journey with 8 to 10 images printed with liquid light on large format fibre-based paper. Performance, to tell the story through a combination of music-partly pre-recorded and composed by the author and two additional musicians as well as through spoken word, teatre and movement.

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.

Mark Hall-Patch’s series of watercolour drawings explore anarchistic art movements. But there is a psychological edge to Hall-Patch’s works which seem depictions of alienation; the figure lost in a landscape facing grave existential danger. The delicate nature of the drawing and watercolour in individual works make very stunning representations of failed utopian societies.

"Touched by the Tears of a Butterfly" consists of seven rocking chairs, each a different colour and placed before a silk scrim that flutters in the breeze of an air ionizer. The viewer is invited to sit in one of the chairs to watch the fourteen minute video of a butterfly emerging from a chrysalis and preparing to fly. Following are images of different butterflies feeding.

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.
