Jaw-dropping art show
When people walk into a new Audain Gallery exhibit opening today in the new downtown location of SFU Contemporary Arts, they’ll feel as though they’re walking into an altered world. They will see moving large-scale projections of international cities that will transform the gallery in the Goldcorp Centre for the Arts into a virtual exposé of the often hidden dimensions of urban dwelling. Terence Gower, an internationally known artist and one of the exhibitors in The Long Take: Videos on Architectural and Social Space, will lead a public discussion of the show at 6:30 p.m. The show opens at 8 p.m. and runs Jan. 13 to Feb. 29. SFU Contemporary Arts marketing director Lenore Swenerton can connect media with the artists.
