Print Exhibition in Grand Forks
"The Art Institute at Capilano College: Celebrating 20 Years of Printmaking"
This exhibition of prints is currently on at the Grand Forks Art Gallery, in the city of Grand Forks, BC.
For the past twenty years The Art Institute(Printmaking) at Capilano College in North Vancouver, under the guidance of Wayne Eastcott, has been on the forefront of contemporary printmaking; not only in Canada but internationally, as it attracts students from across the globe.
This traveling exhibit was originally organized by the Burnaby Art Gallery as a showcase of some of the important artists who have passed though the Institute.
Read more and have a look at the installation photos on the gallery's site. If you are planning a trip to the area, do visit the show - it is on until April 24, 2004.
The new Director/Curator of the Grand Forks Art Gallery is the very dedicated Paul F. Crawford, an avid art collector.
Krakow Triennial exhibition in Oldenburg, Germany
I have just received word from Krakow, Poland that some of my prints* will be in an exhibition at the Horst Janssen Museum in Oldenburg, Germany, opening March 14, 2004.
Apart from its main programme, the Cracow 2003 Print Triennial, the organizers arrange plenty of exhibitions in Poland and abroad for the triennial's participating artists.
Addendum April 5/04: * Some family members went to see this exhibition and were very impressed. My works selected for this show are Nexus IX and Nexus X. More about the exhibition at Oldenburg.
"Traces" Exhibition in Finland
In May & June 2002, I had the great pleasure of having an exhibition called "Traces" with friends and colleagues Bonnie Jordan and Steven Dixon at the Pohjanmaan Museum’s Taidehalli in Vaasa, Finland.
Please look at: TRACES, a site specifically about this exhibition.
We all travelled to Finland for this great event. Naturally, I was translator and guide in my birth country as we toured around. In Vaasa we met well-known printmaker Juha Tammenpaa, who kindly showed us his wonderful work, and gave us a very interesting tour of the Vaasa Printmakers Shop (site is in Finnish). Other highlights of the Vaasa area were the ruin area of Old Vaasa and the Stundars outdoor museum.
A quick visit was made to the 775-year old city of Turku and its fascinating Aboe Vetus museum of history & archaeology.
