Coming Soon: Kathy Slade: Is Everything Going to be Alright?
June 9 – September 6, 2010
Audain Gallery
Coming Soon is Audain Gallery’s inaugural public art series. Four visual artists, all of whom are Simon Fraser University alumni, have been commissioned to create site-specific public art works at the Woodward’s development in downtown Vancouver.
The works in this provocative series consider and address Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside, which is the neighbourhood for the new location of SFU’s School for the Contemporary Arts. Coming Soon also highlights Audain Gallery’s commitment to art in the public sphere that critically addresses Vancouver’s history and present.
Concluding the series, Vancouver artist and SFU alumna Kathy Slade asks the question, Is Everything Going to Be Alright? Slade's question, as earnest and simple as it is profound, is as crucial to be asked in the Downtown Eastside of Vancouver, as it is in other urban sites undergoing rapid redevelopment.
