Featured Events in Vancouver in January, 2025 (March Updated)

Organized by the Institute of Contemporary Art/Boston, this exhibition is the first mid-career survey of the richly layered work of Firelei Báez. One of the most exciting painters of her generation, Báez delves into the historical narratives of the Atlantic Basin. Over the past twenty years, she has made work that explores the multilayered explorations of the legacy of colonial histories and the African diaspora in the Caribbean and beyond. She draws on the disciplines of anthropology, geography, folklore, fantasy, science fiction and social history to unsettle categories of race, gender and nationality in her paintings, drawings and installations. Her exuberant paintings feature finely wrought, complex and layered uses of pattern, decoration and saturated colour, often overlaid on maps made during colonial rule in the Americas. Báez’s investment in the medium of painting and its capacity for storytelling and mythmaking informs all her work, including her sculptural installations, which bring this quality into three dimensions. This exhibition offers audiences a timely opportunity to gain a holistic understanding of Báez’s complex and profoundly moving body of work, cementing her as one of the most important artists of the early 21st century. Please note that the banner installation Truth was the bridge (or an emancipatory healing) (2024) on the Gallery’s Georgia facade will be removed between November 6 and 13, 2024, for Lumière Festival.

Internationally recognized artist Hank Willis Thomas works across several disciplines and mediums and has recently created large-scale sculptures and monuments for the public realm. This installation at Offsite will be the first time three of Thomas’ polished stainless-steel sculptures will be exhibited together. In his wide-ranging conceptual art practice, Thomas explores how contemporary society commodifies race and gender. His works—which span photography, sculpture, installation and more—often reflect on mass media representations and social justice. Originally trained as a photographer, he is interested in how popular imagery from advertisements, mass media and visual media inform cultural attitudes. In using images featuring Black men that circulate widely in popular culture (from Nike ads to political campaign images), the artist encourages the viewer to question commercial representations and cultural stereotypes. Thomas has increasingly made work for the public realm, creating large-scale outdoor sculptures and monuments. His public sculptures often feature an isolated gesture from a photograph or circulated image, bringing a sense of intimacy to the public sphere. Thomas’ sculptures feature disembodied hand gestures that evoke gestures of protest, care and exaltation. These works will take on particular resonance at Offsite, where they will be installed adjacent to the public route of protests and political marches in the city. At a time when the roles and relevance of public monuments are being debated, Thomas is creating new monuments for our era.

Multiple Realities: Experimental Art in the Eastern Bloc, 1960s–1980s is an extensive survey of experimental art made in six Central Eastern European nations between the 1960s and 1980s. Including both rarely seen and newly reconstructed works, the exhibition weaves together a complex story of artists questioning how, when and where art could exist, and exploring the varied meanings it might hold for society. Despite their geographical proximity, the artists featured in the exhibition encountered different conditions for daily life and artmaking, as they confronted varying degrees of control and pressure exerted by state authorities. Charting a generation invested in experimentation, Multiple Realities sheds light on ways that artists refused, circumvented, eluded and subverted official systems. Often infused with wit and irony, the works on view demonstrate both conceptual and formal innovation, often underpinned with an unfettered spirit of adventurousness.

In its exhibition design, Emily Carr: Navigating an Impenetrable Landscape draws out the question of the opening and closing-off of space in Carr’s landscapes by contrasting a densely hung group of paintings with sparsely hung later works that depict an open horizon. Ironically, many of the spatially open works are open precisely because they depict landscapes that had been recently subject to clear-cut logging. This exhibition uses the spatial metaphor of closeness to and distance from nature to probe Carr’s thinking about the forests she painted. It will also examine how Carr’s representation of some Indigenous subjects—particularly villages and totem poles set within landscapes—sit in relation to the dense forest and what this might suggest, given the late 19th- and early 20th-century tendency to conflate Indigenous cultures with nature.

METAL FLOORWORK WITH GUSHY HORROR IN SECONDS FUNDRAISER JAN 13 at 5:00-6:00pm We'll be moving between slow and fast, with emphasis on Metal Musicality for our floorwork choreography. A portion of ticket sales and donations will go towards the Horror In Seconds by Doaa Magdy. Horror in Seconds: Horror in Seconds launched in November 2023 with remarkable success and was described on The Georgia Straight as Vancouver's most unique Film Festival. It revolutionized the concept of Film Festivals by creating a platform for underrepresented artists to unleash their creativity using their smartphones Horror in Seconds aims at broadening representation, accessibility, and breaking the financial barriers BIPOC artists face. Relying solely on the power of visual storytelling to evoke fear, the Festival showcases bite-sized shorts filmed on the participants’ smartphones and with no dialogue. By limiting the shorts’ submissions to 60 seconds or less, the Festival subverts the traditional ways of storytelling and encourages the emerging artists to unleash their creativity with some spine-chilling stories. The festival aims to make filmmaking accessible while celebrating the intersection of culture, creativity, and horror. By offering a platform for BIPOC voices, Horror in Seconds fosters inclusivity and empowers the next generation of storytellers. This isn’t just a film festival—it’s an immersive experience where film, dance, drag, and performance art intersect in a unique and innovative way to highlight various local talents in multiple art forms. Doaa Magdy is a Radical Visionary, a Multifaceted Creative, Filmmaker, Yoga Teacher and the Founder of Horror in Seconds, Canada's first BIPOC Horror Film Festival. With two M.A. degrees in film, she speaks the language of cinema fluently, particularly in the realm of horror,earning her the title of 'Jordan Peele's future competition'. Her creative prowess extends beyond the screen; she's a force for impactful change wherever she treads. As part of VMF's Winter Arts, she pioneered a groundbreaking project, illuminating BC's Black History through visual storytelling: ‘Dynamic Diasporas’ Her accessible outdoor exhibit in front of Vancouver's Art Gallery drew hundreds of attendees daily, showcasing her ability to captivate and inspire audiences. Shealso broke new ground at Vines Arts Festival 2023 with The Yalla Collection, the first-ever digital art installation, pioneering a bold departure from their traditional offerings.
