Visual Reflection of Helen Belkin Art Gallery Experience
My visual reflection speaks to my reaction of the contemporary art featured at the exhibit. To me the pieces spoke reality, and portrayed the issues that are eminent in our world today. The pieces made me question, think, and wonder about our ‘exponential future.’
Exponential Future Tim Lee, Alex Morrison, Isabelle Pauwels, Kevin Schmidt, Mark Soo, Corin Sworn, Althea Thauberger, Elizabeth ZvonarExponential Futurefeatures eight young Vancouver artists. The exhibition opens a window on the vitality of contemporary art in this city. Vancouver artists continue to be better known in the U.S. and Europe than they are in their own city. Curators Juan Gaitán and Scott Watson chose artists working in different media whose work involved a wide range of issues to give an overview of the new artistic thinking of our time and place. The curators were interested in works that engaged the complex reality of urban life at the beginning of the twenty-first century. None of the work has been shown in Vancouver before and much of it is being made for the Belkin Gallery exhibition- taken from Moris & Helen Belkin Art Gallery website http://belkin.ubc.ca/current/
