Vancouver artist Roy Arden guest-curates an exhibition of works from the Gallery’s collection that runs concurrently with his mid-career survey. Artist’s Choice is a reflection of Arden’s interests and provides further context for an understanding of his art. “I have always understood my own work as part of a greater cultural dialogue. The works I have chosen from the collection are ones that I feel have some kind of affinity to my own art“. Taking his cues from different aspects of his own work, Arden focuses on such categories as history painting and photojournalism, etudes, archives, landscapes, collage and assemblage and the city. The exhibition showcases the work of local and international artists including Berenice Abbott, Lorraine Gilbert, Francisco de Goya, Andreas Gursky, Richard Hamilton, Roy Kiyooka, Ed Ruscha, Robert Smithson, Jeff Wall, Stephen Waddell and Andy Warhol. This exhibition is organized by the Vancouver Art Gallery and guest curated by Roy Arden. Related Events Exhibition Talks Tuesday November 27, 7pm |
