The Things We Do
Helen Eady, Cindy Loehr, Karen Ostrom, Marcia Pitch, Elizabeth Zvonar

In an age rife with metaphysical confusion The Things We Do is a five-person show that settles most of the major questions that have been plaguing humanity lately. Talking and gesturing hands, erotic arms, mongrel figures and arguing animals are all on view in an effort to guide us through the errors of our collective ways. Learning from limbs and animals is not just an alternative communication reality weaving its way through these works, it’s what it’s all about. In Vancouver’s post-Olympic, triumphal moment, this exhibition is a modest, understated guide to the future evolutionary arc of the species.

Helen Eady, Marcia Pitch and Elizabeth Zvonar are based in Vancouver; Cindy Loehr and Karen Ostrom
in New York.
