I’m honoured to be included in Duct Tape Gallery’s “Vancouver Special”, a collaborative project in which twenty-eight Vancouver artists were invited by Vancouver photographer Mark Mizgala to artistically alter one of his photographs of a Vancouver Special house.
Photographic prints of the project will be shown and available for purchase in an exhibition at Duct Tape Gallery on September 19-21, as well as copies of the Mizgalas’ Duct Tape magazine, Edition 3, which serves as a catalogue of the show.
The Theme: The origins of the Vancouver Special can be traced back to the post-World War II era, when Vancouver experienced a significant population boom due to immigration and returning veterans. This led to the need for quick and cost-effective housing solutions, and is being reconsidered today as a potential solution to housing crunch in the city.
237 East 4th Avenue, East Vancouver
Parking: On weekends there is often parking along 3rd and 4th Avenue, between Main and Cambie, and sometimes along Great Northern Way as well, between Main and Brunswick.
The exhibition continues through September 21, Mark will give a public presentation of the work on Friday, September 19th, Saturday September 20th and Sunday September 21st.
