Follow a tiny caterpillar, a little cloud and a mixed-up chameleon as they grow, change and discover who they really are. Three beloved stories by Eric Carle, award-winning children’s book illustrator and author, are retold on stage through the magic of black light and fanciful puppets.

What to Expect: This production uses black light puppetry  with lots of colourful characters which requires the theatre to be very dark. Mermaid Theatre embraces a  no-shushing policy during performances which encourages audiences to experience the performance on their own terms.

11 AM / 2PM (relaxed performance at 4 PM on Saturday)

The Museum of Vancouver (MOV) and Nature Vancouver proudly present the illuminating exhibition, Wild Things: The Power of Nature in Our Lives, on display from June 28, 2018 to September 2019.

Co-curated by Viviane Gosselin, Director of Collections & Exhibitions at MOV and Lee Beavington of Nature Vancouver, this exhibition delves into the life stories of local animals and plants—how they relate to each other and how they connect people to nature in the city. Scenic design, videos, taxidermy, crowd-sourcing technologies, and the display of natural specimens breathe life into these tales of co-habitation. The immersive nature of the exhibition, including hands-on activities, encourages visitors to examine their relationship with nature, think about momentarily disconnecting from their devices, and find equilibrium with the natural world around them.

Anne Low
Chair for a woman
January 18 to March 24, 2019
B.C. Binning Gallery

Chair for a woman is Anne Low’s first solo exhibition in a Canadian public gallery. As her practice is responsive to the (imagined) past lives of the architectural spaces in which she exhibits, and given that the Contemporary Art Gallery was purpose built rather than an adapted storefront or former home, Low saw this exhibition as an opportunity to consider the ways of seeing that are specific to exhibitions, and in particular, to those systems of presentation cultivated by decorative arts museums. How do we regard a piece of furniture once it has been removed from use and what knowledge becomes severed in that process? Chair for a woman prompts us to consider that act of looking in its simultaneous reference to and disruption of those strategies of display.

Aslan Gaisumov
January 18 to March 24, 2019
Alvin Balkind Gallery

The Contemporary Art Gallery announces the first solo presentation of Aslan Gaisumov’s work in North America. His artistic practice speculates on the entanglement of fictions and veracity, the inaccessible with the present and the acknowledged with the lost.  As expressive forms, his artworks—whether moving or still images, found objects or installations—consider the pressures withstood by bodies and matter as witnesses to events. They are “experiments in both seeing and not seeing,” as renowned scholar Aleida Assmann has observed: at once crystalline in their visual and material clarity yet enigmatic. This exhibition brings together two works never previously shown together and, in so doing, offers a new means through which to consider many of the concerns that have shaped the artist’s practice over the past eight years.
