DAY ONE: THURSDAY SEPTEMBER 7, 2006
KICK-OFF: 6:00 pm, with introductions, events, media launch and info table.
SWARM7 opens with two off-site/in-site public projects happening in and around the library, produced in collaboration with Other Sights for Artists’ Projects and the VPL.
Art in the Library
Marina Roy, Kathy Slade, Dan Starling and Jillian Pritchard. Curated by Lorna Brown.
Projects within Library, ongoing through 2007
Contact: lobrow@telus.net
Group Search is a series of site-specific art projects in the spaces and systems of the VPL that involve searching and locating, borrowing, reflecting and returning - activities familiar to any library user.
Roy’s “Trappings” is a series of cards slipped into the due-date envelopes of books consulted in her own research. These notes trace the diverse paths and inter-connected networks of the of the inquiring imagination, leading the borrower into surprising directions. These ephemeral messages, seemingly accidental, speak directly from one reader to another and add another voice or point of view to the published text. Thoughtfully produced, they engage the curiosity of fellow readers within the labyrinth of the collection, and may contradict or complicate the original author’s intentions.
Slade’s “Fifty-two Weeks of Transactions at the Lending Library” documents the artist’s weekly borrowing habits at the VPL. Throughout the year, Slade will scan and save her borrowing receipts—listing the date, time and book title—to construct a unique bookwork. This ordinarily private record of the artist’s transactions is presented for the speculation of the viewer – did she, in fact, read the books? Was her choice influenced through the knowledge that it would be made public? Is there significance in the sequence of her list, does it contain a secondary index beyond the chronological record? How might these borrowed books have influenced her thinking, her next choice, her actions? Are her choices correct, or trivial, or pointed?
Inspired by the display cases which are created by library staff and community groups and placed around the library, Pritchard and Starling show photographs of 12 displays of their own in the library photocopy room, displays that were created in a studio-built replica of the copy room itself. The large-scale photographs rotate monthly for one year. “Twelve Subjects” uses the language and materials of display-making to tackle subjects of concern to artists, such as accessibility and meaning, the relationship of form to content, and other issues artists face as they set out to communicate with an audience.
Marble sculptures by Cameron Kerr.
Curated by Patrik Andersson and Barbara Cole.
Located around library
Ongoing through September 2006
Contact: 604.254.5598 / barbara@othersights.ca
Kerr’s sculptures are life-size carved marble replicas of concrete city infrastructure objects such as bicycle racks, curbs, roadside and bull-nose barriers. By shifting these objects’ material from mass produced concrete forms to highly finished marble sculptures, the artist aesthetically transforms everyday objects to produce a new experience and reading of public space.
Over the past few years, Kerr has become known in Vancouver for transforming ordinary objects into extra-ordinary works of art. As subjects for his mainly sculptural practice, Cameron has employed objects and images that we see and respond to in our everyday environment without necessarily stopping to appreciate or question their aesthetic forms, functions, or histories.
Born in Campbell River, British Columbia, Kerr began his career in the Carrara Mountains of Italy studying sculpture with Manuel Neri before continuing his studies with William Tucker and Anthony Gormley — one of England’s most renowned contemporary artists.

MARKED
Works by Joseph Kohnke and launch of brunt magazine.
Opens 8:00 pm
Runs September 7 to October 21, 2006
Contact: 604.875.9516 / grunt@telus.net / www.grunt.bc.ca
“After a good friend died from melanoma, I was suddenly drawn to every skin imperfection on my body. The idea that something so small and overlooked on the skin could possibly consume your entire body both frightened and intrigued me. In nature, markings on the body’s surface are used to increase the chances of survival, whereas on humans they are considered flaws or markings of death. Marked is a mechanism that searches images taken off the body. The images are pierced in areas that could possibly be seen as life threatening marks. As these voids of imperfections are found within the image, the patterns are then transferred onto two contrasting forms within the space.”
Joseph Kohnke was born in Monterey, California in 1973 and now works and lives in Chicago, Illinois. He receive d his BFA with an emphasis in sculpture from San Jose State University in California and his MFA with an emphasis in art and technology from The School of The Art Institute of Chicago in Illinois. He currently supervises the materials lab and teaches a two-part fundamentals course for the Architecture Department at the Illinois Institute of Technology, while also actively producing and exhibiting art.
The grunt will also be launching Brunt magazine, with writers and artists from local Vancouver in attendance, as well as the new addition to our grunt website, titled First Visions. Curated by Archer Pechawis, Tania Willard, and Daina Warren, this new project looks at a survey of Aboriginal visual and performance art projects from the grunt archives.

Begins 7:00 pm
Contact: Jesse Scott, jse@butchershop.ca / 604.255.6229 / ican@lists.riseup.net
This public project is a celebration for the founding of ICAN, a network for independent and emerging artists, arts centres and communities, and a wake to say goodbye to a number of organizations who are "missing in action or presumed dead" as a result of escalating municipal bylaw enforcement and control.
Each group will be represented by a large one-colour tombstone poster on the poles at Main and Broadway (and elsewhere soon after), where nearby ICAN members will be present in mourning and ready to answer questions from members of the public, as well as discuss and promote our ongoing community research project - documenting the history of artist run center closures in Vancouver.
THE JEM GALLERY: 225 East Broadway
RADIO SHOW
Paintings by Ryan Heshka.
Opens 7:00 pm
Runs through September, 2006
Contact: 604.879.5366 / info@jemgallery.com / www.jemgallery.com
Heshka’s solo-exhibition of recent paintings consists of odd dream-like miniature landscapes, dominated by large radio towers and power lines. Each image features its own mini-narrative, from aircraft disasters to rural life, from storms to car crashes.
“I hope to bring to life the “sense of wonder” I feel when I look at these structures, as well as a feeling of nostalgia and history, looking back to the beginning of instant, mass communication which changed our world.”

TRACY SUSHESKI: on location in Mount Pleasant
BLOOM
Public installation by Tracy Susheski.
Begins 8:00 pm
Contact: 778.885.6865
For SWARM7 Susheski will spread hundreds of hand-made candy lollipops throughout the Mt. Pleasant area. “I view them as active participants occurring at selected sites. Wherever there is grass or available ground my flowers will be, and, yes, they will melt (from rain or heat), and break apart and be picked…they are there for the taking.”
Susheski graduated from Concordia University with a BFA in 1997. Her practice works between a number of artistic categories which allows her work to be all things tactile, sculptural, painterly, site-responsive and time-based. Usually dealing with notions surrounding compulsive behaviors and bio-technology within consumer culture, her materials often speak for themselves in process and excess, whether they be tar, sugar, or intricate doilies. Susheski’s work has been exhibited throughout Canada and recently in Tabor, Czech Republic.
MUTED
Installation by nine artists.
Opens 8:00 pm
Contact: 604.872.8337 / www.videoinstudios.com
Muted is a multi-disciplinary installation produced by nine artists exploring the impact of censorship on the facilitation, aesthetics and production of artwork. The notion of censorship is very subtle and often has unperceivable effects. VI has created an exhibition that questions self, peer, community and state censorship within cultural ‘production’. This exhibition intends to examine the last five years of major political policy making with the ambition to protect the public from an enemy.
WESTERN FRONT: 303 East 8th Avenue
ARCHITECTURE AND DISASTER
Works by Sabine Bitter and Helmut Weber, Tacita Dean, Adriana Kuiper and Geoffrey Pyke.
Opens 7:00 pm
Runs September 8 through October 14, 2006
Contact: 604.876.9343 / exhibitions@front.bc.ca / www.front.bc.ca
The works in this exhibition touch in turn on invention and failure, the fetishization of fear and disaster through the built environment, and tragedy and catharsis. In The Russian Ending Tacita Dean creates fictional endings to historical photographs. Written over the images are their potential finales – possible tragedies, failures and disasters. Her endings make reference to the early days of film screening in Russia: it is said that Russian audiences only enjoyed tragedy forcing studios to craft new, sad conclusions for each of their films.
Adriana Kuiper takes DIY plans from contemporary underground storm shelters as a starting point for her work. The shelters, reminiscent of those built in the 1950s and 1960s to shield from potential nuclear disaster, are also marketed as a safe haven from terrorism. Constructed to protect from the unknown, the shelters that Kuiper references become underground monuments for a hollow promise of safety. A decade earlier, in 1942 near the end of the Second World War a British inventor, Geoffrey Pyke presented the British military's Chief of Combined Operations with an invention. Pyke proposed another kind of architecture built in reaction to potential war and disaster: he wanted to build a floating island made of ice. The project was abandoned after the first prototype was built in Patricia Lake, near Jasper, Alberta. The H.M.S Habbakuk, as it was named, took nearly a year to thaw.
Accompanying the exhibition is a print edition on the theme of architecture and disaster by Sabine Bitter and Helmut Weber.
ACCESS ARTIST RUN CENTRE: 206 Carrall Street
CATHEDRAL
Works by Collin Johanson.
Opens 8:00 pm
Runs September 9 - October 14, 2006
Contact: 604.689.2907 / vaarc@telus.net / www.vaarc.ca
This exhibition will focus around the motif of the human skull. With clear reference to the art historical memento mori, Johanson's work contextualizes this age-old signifier within tensions between the urban and the natural world. A giant wooden sculpture of a skull will be created by the artist out of found wood and urban detritus. Taken to a secluded beach, this huge structure will be ceremonially burned, and images of this event (and of the social gathering that will surround it) will be displayed in the gallery. Accompanying these documentary images will be a series of pyrographic (the act of 'drawing' on wood with an electric device) works where the recurring skull motif will mingle with other mystical, pseudo-psychedelic imagery. The exhibition brings to bear contemporary images of fantasy and horror: these are both apocalyptic and spiritually/ socially redemptive meditations.
This exhibition explores Johanson's compelling practice, which combines elements of beauty and the grotesque. His work might be linked to other examples of artists whose works touch on a specifically West Coast perception of the 'sublime' in art.
IS IT ANY WONDER (1600 KELVIN)
Installation by Mark Soo.
Opens 8:00 pm
Runs September 9 - October 14, 2006
Contact: 604.688.0051 / artspeak@artspeak.ca / www.artspeak.ca
Soo’s installation uses colour as an indexical marker to explore aesthetic and socio-cultural experience. Realized in the form of a freestanding, translucent photographic sculpture backlit by city streetlights, Soo has photo-graphed the setting sun over picturesque English Bay at the same colour temperature as the yellow-orange sodium street lights found in the inner city’s Oppenheimer Park. Utilized by the City of Vancouver for their unique characteristic of disrupting colour perception, the lights discourage intravenous drug use and crime. When the sunset image is lit by the streetlights in the gallery, it is rendered ashen and the picturesque disintegrates. This installation questions these modes of representation and draws attention to their construction to examine perspective, modes of looking, colour theory, and the principles of light itself.
While the scenic image of Vancouver’s waterfront parks remains a central trope of Vancouver’s civic identity, the inner city is also renowned. Soo connects these social spaces with the formal elements of light and colour, while juxtaposing notions of the picturesque with urban planning and control. Further complicating these perspectives, one might consider the use of colour film in entertainment and advertising images that project Vancouver’s beauty, while black and white film has traditionally been associated with the documentary and thus might be considered more apt in the portrayal of the social landscape. Considering the context and placement of the gallery (between English Bay and Oppenheimer Park), Soo suggests a complex transitional relationship between aesthetic convention and the narratives of place.
Mark Soo is a Vancouver based artist. His work, which often undertakes a humorous post-institutional critique, has been exhibited in New York, Manchester, Melbourne, Toronto, and Vancouver.
CENTRE A –Vancouver Centre for Contemporary Asian Art: 2 West Hastings St.
PROMISE OF SOLITUDE
Multimedia works by Ed Pien.
Opens 8:00 pm
Runs September 9 – October 21, 2006
Contact: 604.683.8326 / centrea@centrea.org / www.centrea.org
Promise of Solitude is a solo exhibition by Ed Pien. Featuring his most recent works, this exhibition presents Pien’s unique approach to drawing as installation. Pien’s hybrid assemblages of drawing, video, and sound draw from both Eastern and Western cultural influences to create an eerie and illusory world that recalls the work of Bosch and Goya. Pien’s sensual, drawing-based environments, curiously elicit feelings of wonder and enchantment while also evoking the grotesque and uncanny.
Ed Pien was born in 1958 in Taipei, Taiwan and currently lives in Toronto. Since receiving his BFA (1982) from the University of Western Ontario and his MFA (1984) from York University, Pien has been widely exhibited throughout Canada and around the world in exhibitions held in Taipei, New York, Paris, Amsterdam, Berlin, Costa Rica, and London.

GALLERY GACHET: 88 East Cordova Street
DISTANT INTIMACIES: Stephen Long.
THE DRAG KING PROJECT: Toni Latour.
Opens 7:00 pm
Runs through September
Contact: 604.687.2468 / gallery@gachet.org / www.gachet.org
Distant Intimacies is comprised of six short narrative videos shot on varied-resolution cell phone video cameras, and edited both within the phone and offline. Aiming to discover and describe the distinct dynamics of media creation with the tool of small-device, small-camera, video, all of the film works concurrently explore the mental and social barriers enabled by cell phone technology. The video work showcased includes I’m Coming, Maybe Baby, Beyond the Glass, Dark Persona, Richard, & Sex Slave.
Stephen Long has a three-decade long tenure in new media production and innovation; having been a practicing artist, Canada Council grant recipient, software developer, educator, and administrator in the field of video art, and has exhibited internationally and internationally since 1977. He is currently a Collective member of Gallery Gachet.
Latour's motivation for the DKP came from a desire for continued queer representations from within queer communities. The Vancouver lesbian and drag communities repeatedly carve out places where definitions and types are celebrated, mocked and transcended. Latour worked with Vancouver drag troupes DK United and $3 Bill to produce a project that explores the possibilities within the diverse queer cultures of Vancouver. This project includes photography, video, and a textual component derived from audio interviews of both troupes.
Toni Latour is a multidisciplinary artist based in Vancouver, Canada. She has exhibited her work nationally and internationally since 1994 and has been awarded numerous grants and awards in support of her practice. She teaches New Media at the University College of the Fraser Valley, and Media Art at Capilano College.
HELEN PITT GALLERY: #102 – 148 Alexander Street
HOLLOW
Installation by David Diviney.
Opens 8:00 pm
Show runs September 9 to October 14
Contact 604.681.6740 / pittg@telus.net / www.helenpittgallery.org
Diviney’s recent installations find connections between the structures of our cultural mythologies and the ma-terial language of sculpture. His work—based in a traditions of assemblage, additive/subtractive construction and found objects—seeks out the uncanny, emotive core of banal, yet surprisingly iconographic materials and objects to investigate their connotative resonance within our popular fictions and foundational narratives.
In Hollow, the artist locates a decidedly pastoral subtext to our often-ignored, gentrified surroundings, a baffling, humourous and, at times, menacing backdrop that has become hazy in the foreground activity of everyday life. Typical household and consumer products—socks, buckets and low-grade construction supplies—become perceptually bewildering objects that illicit notions of survival, isolation and pioneer living and references to hillbilly tales and North American gothic. Informed by vernacular constructs of contemporary forms of folk-art/craft, these objects serve both literally and figuratively as hollows of meaning, collectively formulating one's experience in the gallery space.
David Diviney received a MFA from the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design in 1998. He has shown his work in recent exhibitions at Stride Gallery (Calgary), AXENÉO7 (Gatineau), Ottawa Art Gallery, Art Gallery of Calgary, Edmonton Art Gallery, Art Gallery of Nova Scotia, Walter Phillips Gallery (Banff), Listasafn ASÍ (Reykjavík) and Galerie Wildwechsel (Frankfurt). He has worked as Director of Eye Level Gallery in Halifax, Assistant Curator of the Southern Alberta Art Gallery in Lethbridge and has taught at the Alberta College of Art and Design, University of Lethbridge, Thompson Rivers University and Sheridan Institute of Technology. He currently lives in Kamloops, British Columbia.
INTER-MISSION ARTS SOCIETY: Cathedral Park @ Corner of Dunsmuir & Richards
MERCURY THEATRE IV: TERMINAL FRONTIER
Site-specific spectacle of sound and video art by local and international artists
From 9:00 to 12:00 pm
Contact: 604.254.3766 / info@inter-mission.org / www.inter-mission.org
Co-produced with Video In Studios
Mercury Theatre 4 will be an unprecedented outdoor presentation of video and sound art using the downtown location, Cathedral Park, as a setting to contextualize this year’s theme, “Terminal Frontier.”
For SWARM7, artists from across the continent will present their ideas surrounding this moment in time and space—Vancouver, the terminating point of the great Canadian railway, the emerald city perched at the end of the line, abutting the great northern forests and vast Pacific ocean to the east. In a time of climate change, political upheavals, explora-tions in outer space and genetic codes, the terminal frontier may take surprising forms.
INTERURBAN ART GALLERY: 1 East Hastings Street
SERIOUS CULTURE
Installation by Julie Gendron
Opens 8:00 pm
Contact: 604.783.5516
“Pseudo-games of non-participation” is a term used in the Situationist Manifesto that refers to futile activities performed by a populous driven by industrialized ethics. Still relevant today, these pseudo-games refer to pastimes such as TV watching and shopping. Stipulations can be made to suggest that these pseudo-games create a cessation of in-depth inquiry, natural play and above all independent thinking. In the last forty to fifty years, participatory methods used by Happenings, net.art and interactive art have attempted to bring the audience back into the creation of culture.
Participatory art works have a component of pre-calculated meaning created by the original artist but it also demands choice of action by the viewer. This decision making process allows the participant to bring themselves into the piece. In essence, they are giving back to the artwork and in doing so they are reaching beyond themselves to form a kind of intimacy and immersion that creates a sense of achievement and affirmation for their next creative challenge.
Serious Culture is a not so serious reactive sound and video installation that invites you to come and play.
LOBBY GALLERY: Dominion Hotel, 210 Abbott Street
MY CAR IS FOR SALE
Installation by Michael Drebert.
Opens 7:00 pm
Runs September 9 to October 1, 2006.
Contact: 604.505.4839 / www.lobbyproject.com
For one night only, a grey 1985 Honda Accord will be on display outside of the Lobby Gallery. Images and information pertaining to the car will be shown inside the gallery until October 1, 2006.
'Flipping' cars and Auto Trader banter has followed Drebert from his high school roots into his newly-post-art-school present. Revving up the latent energy of DIY car salesmanship in an unortho-dox gallery/lobby situation allows for a new look into the aesthetic and action of necessity.
Michael Drebert graduated from Emily Carr in the spring of 2006. He has recently exhibited at the Western Front and the Helen Pitt Gallery in Vancouver.
OR GALLERY: 103-480 Smithe Street
el mundo no escuchará
Film by Phil Collins
Opens 8:00 pm
Runs September 9 to October 6, 2006
Contact: 604.683.7395 / or@orgallery.org / www.orgallery.org
Phil Collins (1970 UK) is a visual artist based in Glasgow. His work examines the emotional core of portraiture and the photographic image, and often describes communities ordinarily excised from our understanding of contemporary situations. His practice often elicits a convocation of individuals, and is process-, or better still, event-oriented.
el mundo no escuchará is a karaoke project produced in 2004 for Smiths fans in Colombia. Whilst karaoke has a fundamentally democratic function, its musical content is conventionally the deplorable, lack-lustre chirp of the mainstream. For el mundo no escuchará the eponymous compilation was re-recorded in its entirety, note for note, in an insane attempt to construct a platform to give voice to the otherwise largely ignored. Collins has produced one other version of the Smiths Karaoke in Instanbul (dünya dinlemiyor, 2005), and will complete the trilogy later this year in Jakarta.
PARKING SPOT: 8 East Cordova Street
CHARACTER SKETCHES
Interdisciplinary work by Elizabeth Milton
Curated by Sharon Bradley
Opens 7:00 pm
Contact: sharonbradley@shaw.ca / www.parkingspot.ca
Like an actor who shifts her character through the collaborative motion of theatrical improvisation, the postmodern subject has been deemed an unfixed entity that holds the potential to occupy and travel through multiple subjectivities. This debate around this fluidity of subjectivity stands at the centre stage of Milton’s interdisciplinary art practice.
Her performative gestures integrate video, audio and photography into experiential processes of character play that aim to complicate the act of self-representation. Much of her work remains tied to an investigation of the political potential of the carnivalesque, examining how strategies of self-transformation may be used to challenge and articulate the distorted sense of reality that consumes our culture of simulation.
Exploring the psychological experience of inhabiting fictional personas, Milton adopts characters scripted by the heightened fantasies and garish excesses of popular culture. Her interactive processes of parody and impersonation aim to theatricalize the lived performance of the self within consumer culture while emphasizing personal history and collaborative identity formation.
