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.

The impulse to make connections between objects is a nearly universal experience. Artists are always in dialogue with their predecessors and peers, and they often make astute curators. 1:1 Artists Select is a new initiative that invites artists to select a work from the Vancouver Art Gallery’s extensive collection to be displayed in dialogue with their own work in the Forecourt. The fifth to participate is Vancouver–based artist Liz Magor. She has selected a work from the collection by Eric Cameron.

The Dreadnoughts present Punkstravaganza VIIII Friday, March 14th & Saturday, March 15th 2025 FRIDAY: The Dreadnoughts with The Real McKenzies, Distorted Times SATURDAY: The Dreadnoughts with Balkan Shmalkan, Jeshua Marshall The Rickshaw Theatre 19+ Doors: 7:00pm TicketsThis ticket page is for Saturday Tickets, to purchase Friday Tickets & Two Night Passes clickHERE. NIGHT TWO LINE UP:The DreadnoughtsThe Dreadnoughts began to play folk-punk in 2007 with a single goal: to make enough money at shows to cover the cost of shots of Fireball Whiskey at Vancouver’s notoriously seedy Ivanhoe Hotel. Ten years on and counting, they can boast of four studio albums, two EPs, and hundreds of unforgettable live shows spanning the globe. They’ve blended punk rock and a bunch of European folk traditions with a power and range that few other groups can match. And it’s been a blast. thedreadnoughts.com Balkan ShmalkanBalkan Shmalkan is East Vancouver’s sweet dance party orchestra; think global music with local attitude. Their funky brass dance beats are rooted in the aural traditions of the Roma and Klezmorim of Eastern Europe and blended with a mixture of pop and jazz. balkanshmalkan.ca RSVP on FacebookJeshua MarshallMost artists will tell you that they sing about what they feel. Jeshua Marshall lives the music that he sings. From the time he was nine, when he was first inspired by a visit from Jimi Hendrix in a dream and subsequently gifted his first guitar, through to the formation of his band Larry and His Flask and now, some 20 years later, music has been mainstay of his life, the thing that’s inspired him, driven him and now, brought him to the precipice of the recognition he so decidedly deserves. A multi-instrumentalist, singer and songwriter, he conveys both passion and purpose in equal measure, a culmination of the hopes and aspirations that first fueled him as child in a family that split their time between the upper realms of the States and the sprawling southern environs of British Columbia. jeshuamarshall.com Refund PolicyNo refunds, unless event is cancelled.

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.

Western Front is pleased to present a concert by Still House Plants. Since forming at the Glasgow School of Art in 2015, the London-based trio of Jess Hickie-Kallenbach, Finlay Clark, and David Kennedy have developed one of the most idiosyncratic forms of art rock, capable of containing free improvisation and neo-soul. From a bare-bones set-up of vocals, guitar and drums, they draw on sampling and slowcore to eschew conventional song structure. Their latest album If I don’t make it, I love u ebbs and surges with flickering rhythms and raw emotional candor, while Hickie-Kallenbach’s guttural vocals carve lucid melodies out of fragmented and looped phrases. In both their recordings and live performances, Still House Plants cultivate a distinct interplay between irregular grooves and spontaneous artistry, finding intimacy in repetition and release. The evening will open with a set by duo Jairus Sharif & Mustafa Rafiq. Together they explore the influence of their shared environment, their own cultural histories, and chosen ideals through improvisations that stretch into territories where drone, noise, and jazz lurk. About the ArtistsStill House Plants are a UK-based three-piece collective made up of Jess Hickie-Kallenbach, Finlay Clark, and David Kennedy. From a minimalist approach of guitar, drums, and vocals they bridge elements of sampling, slow core, and repetition to make music with a melting pop heart. Mustafa Rafiq is an artist and musician born to Fijian immigrants, based in Edmonton, Canada. His practice researches relationships between blackness, nature, divinity, sound, and time. As a musician, his work combines spoken word with ambient, jazz, and Indian classical traditions. He creates soundscapes using guitar, saxophone, electronics, percussion and voice; and scores for dance, theatre, and podcasts. Jairus Sharif is a self-taught saxophonist, instrumentalist, improviser, and producer based in Calgary, Canada. Drawing from an evolving collection of electronics, traditional instrumentation, and homemade tools, his work combines free improvisation, live looping, sound collage, folk traditions, and hip-hop mysticism to generate ecstatic sound sculptures. Accessibility The Grand Luxe Hall is located on the second floor of Western Front, which is accessed by a flight of 26 stairs. While plans for a full building upgrade to facilitate access for wheelchair users are still underway, events in the Grand Luxe Hall are made available virtually via high-quality livestream here.
