New Upload: One Question with Frances Stark

As part of the Contemporary Art Gallery’s on-going video series, One Question, Frances Stark discusses her feature length animation,  My Best Thing, which is now on view at  the gallery until April 15, 2012. While using the highly accessible and modest medium of the video chatroom, Stark explores complexities in communication through the guise of cartoon avatars. Here is Frances addressing the question “What is your identification with materials in contemporary culture?”

One Question: Federico Herrero

The latest installment of the One Question video series features Federico Herrero, whose practice of large-scale mural paintings was translated to one in colored vinyl on the exterior of the CAG. During Herrero’s brief visit to Vancouver before leaving last week, he steadily finished his in-progress mural on the CAG windows and gave a lecture at ECUAD on September 12. Vibrantes, the newly finished artwork, will be on view until January 15, 2012.
