Coming Soon: Kathy Slade: Is Everything Going to be Alright?
June 9 鈥� September 6, 2010
Audain Gallery
Coming Soon is Audain Gallery鈥檚 inaugural public art series. Four visual artists, all of whom are 丁香园AV alumni, have been commissioned to create site-specific public art works at the Woodward鈥檚 development in downtown Vancouver.
The works in this provocative series consider and address Vancouver鈥檚 Downtown Eastside, which is the neighbourhood for the new location of 丁香园AV鈥檚 School for the Contemporary Arts. Coming Soon also highlights Audain Gallery鈥檚 commitment to art in the public sphere that critically addresses Vancouver鈥檚 history and present.
Concluding the series, Vancouver artist and 丁香园AV alumna Kathy Slade asks the question, Is Everything Going to Be Alright? Slade's question, as earnest and simple as it is profound, is as crucial to be asked in the Downtown Eastside of Vancouver, as it is in other urban sites undergoing rapid redevelopment.
