Check it out here. A few weeks ago they featured artist and associate curator for the Vancouver Art Gallery, Kathleen Ritter. She was responsible for the How Soon Is Now show at the VAG which featured some textile based artists, (ie.Kristi Malakof - above). And speaking of fibre-based art, there is a must-see show at the Richmond Art Gallery, Fibred Optics, on until August 28th. Read a review here in Canadian Art Magazine. Montreal based artist Jerome Havre (above) is one of the featured artists.
8/13/2011 Local artist: Heather DahlI recently did a trade with Heather Dahl of Dahlhaus for one of her stripey vases:) In July I visited her Vancouver studio where I fell in love with the pink and grey stripey vase (above-beside my unfinished doll). After leaving I realized that I had to have it so I emailed her to propose a trade. Heather got one of my new eco-printed silk scarves.
And yes she threw in the grey vase too. Lucky me :) Heather's vases can be found at Vancouver's new Anthropolgie store and online here on her website. PS the painting in the pic is by Corrie Peters luv Janna |
