Art lovers have two new exhibitions to check out in Burnaby, thanks to the Burnaby Art Gallery’s off-site exhibition program.
The gallery has opened two exhibitions at Burnaby Public Library branches: Randall Anderson: Noticings at the Metrotown branch, and Eight Prints at the McGill branch.
Randall Anderson: Noticings includes work from a series created by Anderson from 2006 to 2008, when he was enrolled in a master’s program at Concordia University. The works were made by turning found bulletin board notices over and collaging them together.
“He realized that, with the introduction of so many new digital platforms such as Craigslist and Kijiji, noticeboards were becoming an outmoded form of communication,” a press release notes. “In this series, Anderson has repurposed physical notices by creating layered collages that are each evocations of their time and place.”
It’s on at the Bob Prittie (Metrotown) library branch, 6100 Willingdon Ave., until July 10.
Eight Prints features a 1959 print portfolio by artists from Victoria, eight of the 12 members of what would become the Point Group – a circle of 12 artists established by German Expressionist artist Herbert Siebner after immigrating to Victoria in 1954.
The exhibition includes work by Siebner, Richard Ciccimarra, Robert De Castro, Duncan de Kergommeaux, Nita Forrest, Elza Mayhew, Molly Privett and William West.
It’s on at the McGill library branch, 4595 Albert St., North Burnaby, until July 11.
