Exponential Future features Isabelle Pauwels (01), Kevin Schmidt (97), Mark Soo (02), Corin Sworn (02), and Elizabeth Zvonar (01). The exhibition opens a window on the vitality of contemporary art in this city. Vancouver artists continue to be better known in the U.S. and Europe than they are in their own city. Curators Juan Gaitan and Scott Watson chose artists working in different media whose work involved a wide range of issues to give an overview of the new artistic thinking of our time and place. The curators were interested in works that engaged the complex reality of urban life at the beginning of the twenty-first century. None of the work has been shown in Vancouver before and much of it is being made for the Belkin Gallery exhibition. The exhibit runs January 18 - April 27, 2008.

An illustrated catalogue with essays by Juan Gaitan, Monika Szewczyk, and Scott Watson will accompany the exhibition.

Opening Reception Thursday, January 24 from 8pm-10pm
