Run Around Art November

Jeff Wall Exhibition at Vancouver Art Gallery
This was a V event so there was a large group of us discreetly trying to hide our cameras from the security guards. I liked that the largescale photographs were also lit by oversized lightboxes with the photos themselves printed on transparency, creating an illumination of the detail and scenery. Overall, his abandoned rundown slices of urban life were interesting if I was viewing these from an historical or anthropological perspective but otherwise, it was pretty boring. Also, most of the photos were either from the gallery’s collection or donated by patrons who only bought the photos based on their tastes (which sucked or were cropped too much).
Vancouver East Side Cultural Crawl
My photographer-friend Jen and I spent 3-4 hours walking through the different studio shops and artists homes before. There was a wide variety of different artworks from display (paintings, statues, wood) to utilitarian (furniture, jewelry, wallets) but I didn’t really feel safe taking photos of other’s livelihoods. I did manage to snap a couple photos of the studios which I’ll post when I’m back on flickr.
Front & Co. Re-opening
I’ve loved this store ever since my first year of college and was super-happy when I saw the displays back in the new building, which had a burned down last spring. If you live in Vancouver visit them at 3772 Main Street.
