James Nizam

James Nizam  Work from Memorandoms. “That political battle between past legacies and future potentials is one point of departure to consider when viewing “Memorandoms,” an exhibition of new photo works by Vancouver artist James Nizam at Gallery Jones. For the series, Nizam used Little Mountain’s abandoned residences as a studio, exploring the site’s echoing histories […]

Arabella Campbell

Arabella Campbell Work from her oeuvre. “Aligned with a systemic approach to abstraction exemplified by the work of Agnes Martin and Robert Ryman, Arabella Campbell is becoming increasingly recognized for her formally and conceptually meticulous practice. Her work often acknowledges the edges of its own material and institutional support structure, to nuance and qualify our […]

Jeremy Bailey (refresh)

Jeremy Bailey recently posted some new and fantastic work on his YouTube Channel. As such, I have updated his previous post to include some of this work.

Kelly Richardson

Kelly Richardson Work from Twilight Avenger, Exiles of the Shattered Star, and Wagons Roll. It’s hard to pinpoint what’s so unnerving in Kelly Richardson’s video and photographic work at Birch Libralato. It could be the way the unnatural is continually made to appear natural. While it might seem that Richardson is making a statement about […]

Michel de Broin

Michel de Broin Work from his oeuvre. ““Why is there something, rather than nothing?” is a question to be posed to art by those faced with its object: the artist, his viewers, the critics. For, in the end run there could very well be nothing. This may even be for the better. After all, if […]

Lorna Mills

Lorna Mills “…Lorna Mills is an artist who revels in the irreverent excesses of GIF culture, collecting and manipulating found GIFs from the most offensive and profane to the most abject and mundane. In her original GIF work, however, she creates contemplative animations that, unlike most other art GIFs, can be emotionally affecting. While Mills […]

Sara Angelucci

Sara Angelucci Work from Regular 8. “For the past ten years, my practice has encompassed photography and video, examining vernacular archival materials, including snapshots and home movies. Investigating the relationship between the still and moving image, my work has considered the limits of indexical media to translate lived experience, underlining the fragmented, ephemeral nature of […]

Joe McKay

Joe McKay Work from his oeuvre. “… Operating at the edges of what we think this consumer technology should and should not do, McKay’s art leads us into the gap between expectation and evidence, challenging the viewer to consider what one sees and how the technology works. But unlike the Wizard of Oz behind his […]

Jennilee Marigomen

Jennilee Marigomen Work from Absent and From the See. “Jennilee’s Marigomen’s work investigates everyday urban phenomenon. The tension between the natural world and urban intervention permeate her images with a playful undertone. Her visceral and sedative environments highlight the fleeting extraordinary.” – Jennilee Marigomen

Stephanie Davidson

  Stephanie Davidson Work from Collage and Gifs. “Stephanie Davidson’s works are, for lack of a better word, super bratty. Like she totally knows it, too. It’s loaded with post-modern irony lost in the throes of youthful know-it-allness. (My Swedish friend calls them: Besser-Vissers. Better knowers? I always liked this invented word.) It’s kinda like […]
