The STAG
The Strathcona Art Gallery (STAG) is a Project Space, Gallery and Residency in the Vancouver, BC home of Aja Rose Bond & Gabriel Saloman. As an experimental Micro-Gallery, The STAG is devoted to informality, community, social activity and big ideas in small places. Having completed its 1 year tenure (August 2010 – July 2011) as an exhibition space, the STAG has transformed into the STAG LIBRARY. Links:The STAG | The STAG LIBRARY |
5 Moons Before the Riot
In the Fall and Winter of 2009/2010 a group called WOEVAN (Witches of East Van) performed a sequence of public rituals in an effort to create a protective shield around various communities, families and friends, all of whom would be negatively affected by the events before and during the Winter Olympics in Vancouver, BC. With the intention of creating hidden “energetic reservoirs”, WOEVAN mapped a pentagram upon the city, meeting for five months on the full moon to perform private/public actions at what they determined to be critical sites of relationship and activity. 5 Moons Before the Riot is an interpretation of these actions.
Commissioned by Urban Crawl and PUSH! International Performance Festival for the exhibition Counter Mapping.
