InFest: International Artist-Run Culture Artspeak Gallery
Artist-run centres are non-profit organizations run by and for artists. In Canada they have supported some of the best known and internationally recognized contemporary artists and curators for 30 years. In February, The Pacific Association of Artist Run Centres hosts InFest, a significant gathering of representatives from artist-run centres around the world. Twelve leading foundations and councils fund the extensive event, which includes speakers from Montréal, Toronto, London, Seoul, Stockholm, New York, San Francisco, Johannesburg, Hong Kong, Buenos Aires and Guadalajara. Beginning with registration at Simon Fraser University downtown on February 25, events include discussion forums, exhibitions, networking, plus educational events and social events. Most programmes will occur at Simon Fraser University downtown and Emily Carr Institute of Art and Design on Granville Island. In conjunction with InFest, there will be exhibitions at Artspeak, Access, Belkin Satellite, Contemporary Art Gallery (CAG), Centre A, Helen Pitt, Gachet, Grunt, Or, Western Front, Video In and Xeno Galleries in Vancouver, Open Space (Victoria) and Alternator Gallery (Kelowna). The focus of the InFest agenda is the role of the artist in determining the culture of the visual arts, with an emphasis on how artists are represented and their work recorded. With different mandates, structures and funding sources, the term “Artist Run Centre” itself will be one of the topics of discussion.Mia Johnson FEATURES, NEW & OLD: Mandy Greer: Dare alla Luce | Generation: Images of Youth | Rembrandt & Dutch Art's Golden Age | Seattle Art Museum at 75 | Life After Death: New Leipzig Paintings | Joanna Staniszkis: Silk City | Rodin: In His Own Words | First Nations Art: Historic to Contemporary | Maya Lin: Systematic Landscapes | Three Rivers: Wild Waters, Sacred Places | Portland Art Museum | Acting Out: Claude Cahun & Marcel Moore | Isamu Noguchi: Sculptural Design | Rhythm and Change: The Bow in Contemporary Art | Douglas Curran: The Elephant Has Four Hearts | Fay Jones: Recent Paintings | Massive Change: Bruce Mau | Web Images: Quick Guide | Treasures From the Kröller-Müller | Gerry Deiter: Give Peace a Chance | InFest: International Artist-Run Culture | Silver: Dreams, Screens & Theories | Paul Wong: COLLECT | James Turrell: Knowing Light | Joanna Staniszkis: Linen’s Edge | Daniel Joliffe/Jocelyn Robert: Ground Station | Bratsa Bonifacho: Habitat Pixel | Edouardo Kac: Contemporary Art Explores Human Genomics | Douglas Gordon at the VAG | Walk Ways Explore Body-Mind Connection
