    May 23 \u2013 July 27, 2013
    \nGallery Hours: Tuesdays-Saturdays, 11am-6pm

    “I wanted to see if the short duration of this action
    \nin the video will compress the entire event\u2026”<\/p>\n

    Centre A opens its new gallery in Vancouver\u2019s historic Chinatown with an exhibition of new work by Korean-born, Vancouver-based artist Khan Lee. The exhibition hearts and arrows<\/em>, takes its title from a new durational video work by Lee which depicts the process of the artist making an ice carving. Set against the stunning background of Vancouver’s city lights and working port, the artist labours from dusk to dawn to achieve the perfect form. Hearts and arrows literally refers to the intricate faceting of brilliant cut diamonds. The artist compares and contrasts the material quality of ice and diamonds. But further, in this video the artist records an alchemy- the convergence of time, space, material and labour to produce an ethereal form. Lee elaborates, “I wanted to create an all-inclusive magical moment when everything happens to appear in unison, and also reflects all daily events, localities, dramas, satisfactions, frustrations, and struggles as a person and as an artist.\u201d The video depicts the clarity of the dawn following a dark night of labour. The mood of the piece is introspective, yet optimistic and celebratory.<\/p>\n

    Khan Lee<\/strong> was born in Seoul, Korea where he studied architecture at Hong-Ik University, and studied fine art at Emily Carr Institute of Art and Design in Vancouver. He is a founding member of Vancouver based artist collective \u2018Intermission\u2019 and presently a member of Instant Coffee artist collective. His experiments with form, medium, content, and expression have resulted in performance, sculpture, and media works. Lee lives and works in Vancouver BC, and has exhibited nationally, and internationally.<\/p>\n

    An exhibition brochure with an essay by Jenifer Papararo will be available at Centre A.<\/p>\n

    Khan Lee in Conversation with Amy Kazymerchyk at Centre A<\/span><\/p>\n

    Saturday, July 20: 3pm
    \nFree Admission<\/p>\n

    Please join us on Saturday, July 20, 2013 for a conversation with Khan Lee and Amy Kazymerchyk on Centre A\u2019s current exhibition, hearts and arrows<\/em>!<\/p>\n

    Khan and Amy’s conversation began a year ago, when they discussed projecting hearts and arrows<\/em> onto a floating screen on the Saugeen River in rural Ontario. Transplanting this work to a distinct landscape, economy, and culture brought up questions about the work’s geographic and temporal specificity. One evening in early June, while tracking the coordinates of the setting sun in Crab Park, they acknowledged their mutual attentiveness, attachment, and wonder for living on this land\u2013 Coast Salish land\u2013that we call Vancouver. Their conversation at Centre A will begin by reading a series of ‘letters’ written on their reflections, queries, observations, and concerns about the city. Their dialogue following this introduction will loop through thoughts on labour, craft, discipline, human and economic migration and displacement, perception, vision, and light.<\/p>\n

    Amy Kazymerchyk is the Curator of Audain Gallery at Simon Fraser University. Previously, she was Events + Exhibitions Coordinator at VIVO Media Arts Centre, and Director of the Signal & Noise Media Arts Festival. Since 2008 she has programmed DIM Cinema at The Cinemtheque.<\/p>\n
