In this hands-on, interactive workshop, participants will experiment with poetry as a vital and generative mode of thinking and writing through art. In the gallery, participants will be invited to engage in a series of slow looking exercises to heighten and attune attention to the individual works in They Lift the Sky, then create small matière using printed matter and collage materials in response. These layers of textural, visual, and textual responses will be used to compose a piece of ekphrastic writing.

Taking inspiration from the works in the exhibit They Lift the Sky, as well as the archival practices of poets Diana Khoi Nguyen and Silvina López Medin, participants will gather 2 -3 personal items of emotional significance (photographs, scrapbooks, journals, notebooks, physical artifacts, etc). in advance to respond to via a series of generative writing exercises. Drawing on these notes and observations, and imagining a future archive, participants will create one new visual-textual item to add to their collection.

Spots are limited. Please register by emailing [email protected] to ensure a workshop spot. Visit our website to learn more!

Join us tomorrow, July 12th from 6–9pm, for a reception marking the opening of ‘They Lift the Sky’ featuring Andrew Yong Hoon Lee ( ), Miko Revereza ( ) and Reyhan Yazdani ( ). All three artists will be in attendance and there will be a performance from Andrew Yong Hoon Lee.

We are also pleased to be selling an edition from Miko Revereza, titled ‘Notes on Nowhere Near’. This edition is comprised of eight risograph prints of production stills Revereza captured on 35mm while shooting ‘Nowhere Near’ in the Philippines.

Upcoming exhibition: 𝙏𝙝𝙚𝙮 𝙇𝙞𝙛𝙩 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙎𝙠𝙮
Curated by Bopha Chhay
July 12 – August 25 at Libby Leshgold Gallery

Opening reception with performance by Andrew Hong Yoon Lee will be held on Thursday July 11 at 6pm.

𝙏𝙝𝙚𝙮 𝙇𝙞𝙛𝙩 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙎𝙠𝙮 brings together the work of Andrew Yoon Hong Lee, Miko Revereza, and Reyhan Yazdani, who engage distinct methods of writing and publishing to explore and negotiate the material limits of language and translation within their practice. Over the course of the exhibition poet Sheryda Warrener will facilitate two writing workshops. Through installation, workshops, screenings and discussion, the exhibition offers alternative forms to reimagine and think through different modes of artists’ writing and publishing.

The Summer School for Artists’ Publishing expands on Libby Leshgold Gallery + READ Books’ mission to create a platform and social space for experimental practices in publishing. By bringing leading local and international artists and practitioners together to present exhibitions, seminars, and public events, the Summer School explores the role of publishing in an expanded field of teaching, learning and production.

* 𝙏𝙝𝙚𝙮 𝙇𝙞𝙛𝙩 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙎𝙠𝙮 is a line borrowed from Etel Adnan’s book ‘Shifting The Silence’ (2020) published by Nightboat Books.

We are delighted to announce that Bopha Chhay has been named Associate Curator for Galleries and Exhibitions at Emily Carr University.

Chhay brings over 15 years of experience as a curator, educator and writer, and has held positions at Artspeak Gallery (Vancouver BC); 221A (Vancouver BC); Enjoy Public Art Gallery (Wellington NZ); Afterall, a contemporary arts research and publishing organisation (London UK). Her research interests are guided by transnational and diasporic histories, collective models, artistic labour, and artists’ publishing practices.

Influenced by a long-standing involvement in artist-run culture, her curatorial work aims to broaden an understanding of artistic practice and cultural production within a wider social and economic context.

From Vanessa Kwan, Director/ Curator of Galleries and Exhibitions: “The Associate Curator will play a critical role in both expansion and focus for our programs, and Bopha brings a deeply considered, values-based approach to curatorial practice and the work of supporting artists. We’re thrilled she will be joining the team.”

The Associate Curator will lead the conception and production of a range of presentation and engagement opportunities through Galleries + Exhibitions, which includes the Libby Leshgold Gallery, the Audain Distinguished Artist in Residence Program, Michael O’Brian Exhibition Commons, ECU Urban Screen and READ Books. Chhay will begin her two-year appointment on July 3rd, 2024.

The Libby Leshgold Gallery is pleased to present 𝘚𝘛𝘐𝘓𝘓 by Lani Maestro.

Presented as part of the group exhibition 𝘏𝘖𝘏𝘖𝘓 (𝘏𝘢𝘯𝘨 𝘖𝘶𝘵 𝘏𝘢𝘯𝘨 𝘖𝘶𝘵 𝘓𝘢𝘯𝘨) curated by Patrick Cruz and Christian Vistan at grunt gallery, this screening of Maestro’s 𝘚𝘛𝘐𝘓𝘓 brings the work—originally commissioned for a billboard in Toronto in 2002–into a new, digital context. Maestro’s work has often taken the form of images that become embodied in the process of reading or utterance and 𝘚𝘛𝘐𝘓𝘓 exemplifies the artist’s inquiries into language, the body, and subjectivity.

The screening will run through July 14th. Visit the link in our bio to find out more 🔗

New on the ECU Urban Screen ✨

𝑬𝑪𝒇𝒅𝑽_𝑬𝑪.𝒎𝒐𝒗 by Shaheer Zazai (._ ) is a digital work created specifically according to the parameters of the ECU Urban Screen, and incorporating data and metrics directly relating to the institution’s curriculum, student population and other statistical information. Stemming from Zazai’s long-standing interest in Microsoft Word as a creative medium, the work combines familiar word processing technologies with traditional Afghan carpet-making processes. Each ‘knot’ in his designs is created by a typed letter; through a painstaking process of formatting and re-formatting, Zazai’s characters become elaborate compositions that reference design and textile histories—and the diasporic experiences interwoven with them.

ECfdV_EC.mov is on view at the Wilson Arts Plaza at Emily Carr University from 8am - 9pm daily from March 1st through June 30th 2023.

The Libby Leshgold Gallery, in partnership with On Edge Reading Series ( ), is pleased to present a conversation between Amber Dawn and Justin Ducharme as part of our renewed 𝘊𝘶𝘳𝘢𝘵𝘰𝘳𝘴 𝘰𝘯 𝘊𝘶𝘳𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 lecture series. For many years the gallery has presented discussions showcasing unique voices in curatorial practice, and our current series focuses on the myriad ways artists inhabit the role of curator - in relation to institutions, the profession, their communities and each other. Reoriented towards a conversational format, 𝘈𝘳𝘵𝘪𝘴𝘵-𝘊𝘶𝘳𝘢𝘵𝘰𝘳𝘴 𝘰𝘯 𝘊𝘶𝘳𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 explores creative exchange, presentation in an expanded field, and ideas in process.

This first talk will feature a conversation between writer, editor and educator Amber Dawn and filmmaker and writer Justin Ducharme. Together and separately, they have developed a ‘by us for us’ practice of making, curating and organizing, and will talk through the intricacies of their ongoing community-engaged work. Copies of their co-edited volume 𝘏𝘶𝘴𝘵𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘝𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘦: 𝘈𝘯 𝘈𝘯𝘵𝘩𝘰𝘭𝘰𝘨𝘺 𝘰𝘧 𝘚𝘦𝘹 𝘞𝘰𝘳𝘬𝘦𝘳𝘴’ 𝘗𝘰𝘦𝘵𝘳𝘺 (now in its 3rd printing!) will be available for purchase via READ Books.

Born in 1981, Carmen Papalia is a nonvisual social practice artist with chronic and episodic pain. He uses organizing strategies and improvisation to address his access to public space, art institutions and visual culture. As a convener, he establishes welcoming spaces where disabled, sick and chronically ill people can build capacity for care that they lack on account of governmental failure and medical ableism. His work, which takes forms ranging from collaborative performance to public intervention, is a response to the harms of the Medical Model of Disability.

The Libby Leshgold Gallery is pleased to present 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘭𝘦𝘧𝘵 𝘶𝘯𝘴𝘢𝘪𝘥, a solo exhibition of work by Jagdeep Raina and the artist’s first in Vancouver.

The featured work spans a period of roughly seven years, during which time Raina’s drawing and painting practice has grown to include embroidered textile work and, most recently, stop-motion animation.  

Behind Raina’s image-making is an exploration of the archive, and the teasing out of both its possibilities and limitations. The work refuses to see time and memory as fixed concepts and explores questions about community, materiality, and landscape within the Sikh diaspora. Raina has worked with personal, civic, and institutional archives and has parsed through photographic, oral, and written histories in order to create a more complex understanding of the diasporic communities formed as a result of transnational migration—memories, photographs, and retellings from the past are re-animated and histories transformed into narratives unfurling in the present. 

Moving through the exhibition, one can see the artist aptly shift between mediums, employing a range of tools and techniques to examine his subjects from every angle. Formed as a result is a living archive that is unfixed and atemporal. 

The exhibition will run January 13 to February 26, 2023. An opening reception will be held Thursday, January 12 at 6PM.

The Libby Leshgold Gallery is pleased to announce the launch of Frankie McDonald’s video work 𝙇𝙖𝙬𝙖7 as part of the City of Vancouver’s Public Art Program for Emily Carr University’s Urban Screen.

𝙇𝙖𝙬𝙖7 is the tale of a young woman named Nahani who goes down to the fishing rock but is unable to catch anything except garbage. She is then greeted by a magical salmon named Láwa7, who transforms the young woman into a salmon and takes her on a journey through the river. This story calls attention to river pollution, fish farms, and oil spills.

Originally conceived for a senior animation class at Emily Carr, 𝙇𝙖𝙬𝙖7 has grown into a deeper exploration of systemic issues, allowing the artist to think through her relationship to the environment and the damaging effects it faces as a result of colonialism. 𝙇𝙖𝙬𝙖7’s visual language makes use of traditional Westcoast formline, interpreting it into the 3D animated environment.

Catch this video on the Urban Screen from now until February 28th, 2023.

Images: stills from 𝙇𝙖𝙬𝙖7, courtesy of Frankie McDonald.
