Visions of British Columbia: A Landscape Manual
Visions of British Columbia: A Landscape Manual is an extensive two-floor survey of art that represents the variety and richness of artistic vision in British Columbia. The exhibition highlights key artistic practices that have recorded, communicated and shaped the public perception of this region and defined a collective consciousness of this place. Drawn primarily from the Gallery's rich permanent collection and supplemented with key loans, this exhibition includes landscapes, cityscapes and portraits in a variety of media that speak to the diversity of British Columbia, its peoples and its histories.
The subtitle of the exhibition refers to Jeff Wall's Landscape Manual, an inexpensively produced booklet self-published in 1969, in which the artist provides commentary on the making of landscape photographs. Similarly, the artists in this exhibition have studied the people and places of British Columbia and have made work which, when shown together, offers a guide that can be used to negotiate the many narratives and experiences of the province. The exhibition focuses on the art of 37 artists, including Roy Arden, B.C. Binning, Emily Carr, Robert Davidson, Gathie Falk, Brian Jungen, Scott McFarland, Liz Magor, Susan Point, Bill Reid, Jack Shadbolt, Gordon Smith, John Vanderpant, Frederick Varley, Jeff Wall, Ian Wallace and many others.
