The environmentally friendly installation Hibernators by Shirley Wiebe at the old Polar bear pit in Stanley Park is almost gone. The empty bear enclosure is a great piece of 60s architecture with bold shapes. Looking like it would be a fun set for a horror movie with its abandoned nature.
The bio bears have decomposed so much you can’t tell what they were.
Hidden away in the corner of the Park & Tilford shopping complex in North Vancouver is the Park & Tilford Gardens with eight themes to explore. Great place to get a rest from getting groceries or just wait for the next 3-D blockbuster to start.
A mix of gardens to check out and one the best has a bridge with some koi fish.
Drawn Festival kicks off tonight at the Pendulum Gallery Downtown from 7-9pm.
The opening at Pendulum Gallery / HSBC Building Lobby / 885 West Georgia Street will have some live music and cash bar.
Andrew Pommier always seems to have a bunch of stuff on the go and it is great to see some locally. He has some storefronts at various skate and surf shops across Canada and right now Second Wave over in North Van has one up. Nice treat to see.
You can take a rest while making your way up Lonsdale and take a peek at Andrew’s work.
The second annual Drawn Festival opens this coming Friday at the Pendulum Gallery Downtown from 7-9pm. 19 other galleries are participating in this year’s celebration of drawing. Friday’s event will be showing the finalists of the national juried competition.
Jonathan Man, Untitled. 2007 Pencil on Paper 37 x 28 cm. Showing at Art Beatus‘s show Line Up!
Before all the tourists grab them, get your toonie to Sneeze‘s street box for issue #8. A mag that can be used as posters!
Get your issue.
Skewed Magazine has been publishing an online magazine filled with interviews, profiles and art/photography and a lot of it featuring Vancouver creatives since 2008. They recently put out Number 10 and it has a great selection of stuff to read and view. Download it HERE and also get the back-issues.
Ehren Salazar of Little Mountain Gallery has a bunch of his super detailed drawings in Skewed.
The Vancouver Drawing Festival Society is on for a second year in a row (July 17 to Aug 7) and they want all artists who do Drawing to submit their work by June 1, 2010. The list of show and events is expansive and you can see them here.
