Ruben Ochoa

September 23 to November 1, 2009
Opening Tuesday September 22 at 7:30pm

The Charles H. Scott Gallery is pleased to present the first Canadian exhibition of Los Angeles-based artist Ruben Ochoa.

Selwyn Pullan: Positioning the New, presents a comprehensive survey of the work of Canadian photographer Selwyn Pullan, who studied at the Los Angeles Art Center, graduating in 1950. Architectural photography, then a relatively new profession, had emerged in parallel to modernism and the advances in architecture in North America during the the late 1930's, and Pullan found his niche in this genre. Pullan's photographs promoted the new style to a populace eager to embrace a modern way of living.

READ Books / Charles H. Scott Gallery presents Vancouver Matters book launch.
VANCOUVER MATTERS

February 14, 2009
2:00 to 4:00 pm

Please join Blueimprint and READ Books at the Charles H. Scott Gallery to celebrate the launch of Vancouver Matters, a book that attempts to document what the city of Vancouver is made of and what it might yet become.

The Charles H. Scott Gallery is pleased to present Fallow, a solo exhibition by Vancouver-based artist Germaine Koh. In this installation, plants and groundcover from a fallow urban lot have been transplanted into the gallery, completely filling the exhibition space. The sense of disuse and non-productivity associated with vacant lots is transformed through this process of relocation. What was once identified as a void within the landscape of urban development is ascribed with new use value.
