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.

Vancouver Art Gallery

徐徐霞客Rr

The Vancouver Art Gallery in the United States is one of the most famous and representative old buildings in the area. It is also one of the famous historical architectural relics in the area. I personally think it is worth seeing, and the collections inside are also very precious.

Best Things to Do

Natural scenery

Walking in Stanley Park gives me a peaceful experience in Vancouver. The reflection of the lake is stunning, and the trees and lake there create a peaceful environment for you to relax and enjoy your day. I also love the biodiversity there. I saw cute animals, like ducks and birds. If you keep walking, you can reach Stanley Park Seawall to enjoy the beautiful sunset and cozy breeze from the ocean.

It is said that this suspension bridge is world famous, but the ticket is a bit expensive, and when I went there it was the rainy season in Vancouver, and there was a lot of rain. The scenery is still good, but there are few small animals, and some are hibernating.

It is really a once-in-a-lifetime train experience. In September 2019, the weather in Canada was very suitable. It was amazing to take a train and experience the colorful mountains. The train company held a grand farewell ceremony before departure for the train at Vancouver Railway Station. This gave me a pleasant surprise. Not only did the train have Chinese service staff to introduce the scenery along the way, but there was also a food experience. Sitting on the train and looking at the scenery of the Rocky Mountains and eating Michelin meals, it really can&#39;t be described in words. The ticket price is indeed not cheap. I was a little hesitant before booking, but after the experience, I felt that the money was worth it. Also, I thought it would be boring on the train before leaving, but I didn&#39;t expect there were still a lot of activities. I couldn&#39;t stop taking pictures, especially the glass dome, which was like watching an IMAX blockbuster. Soon the wonderful day passed. The Queen&#39;s favorite train is indeed well-deserved, making my wife and I feel very noble. . .
