Exhibition
With a change in direction, Vancouver artist Carole Itter exhibits The Pink Room at the grunt gallery. Her prior large scale found object assemblages dealt with urban or rural ecological issues on the West Coast. With this installation, another facet is explored--more personal and emotional--dealing with the impact of deep grief and irreconcilable loss.

The Traveling Alter Native Medicine Show is a ride through history. It implodes the markers of history left behind by those who have claimed this land as their own. It implodes history itself, making tactile the many layers of history that are preent along the way. As Walter Benjamin said, History is the subject of a structure whose site is not homogenous empty time, but time filled by the presence of the now. (Theses of the Philosophy of History)

Palimpsest is a performance that results in an installation in the gallery. An image of a bull painted by Paleolithic cave artists is projected onto the side of a large bull in the darkened gallery. Installation includes photographs, videos and other documentation of the performance.

Recently I have begun working on a series of small theatrical stagings of Murphys Law-like, visual pun, scenarios, averaging in size of about 12x12x12 in. These wall mounted, mixed media, tableau(s) or mini stage-like works, will employ either/or: human powered movement(s); pop-up book mechanisms; implied kinetic structures; or motorized mechanical engineering.
