Jeremy Shaw: Something's Happening Here

Presentation House Gallery presents Jeremy Shaw's (99) Something's Happening Here, a year-long public poster project mounted as part of the 2009 Cultural Olympiad that memorializes and celebrates the legacies of past civic events, notably those of Expo '86.

Shaw's images include current and archival photographs of buildings and sites from Vancouver's iconic World's Fair, as well as news articles, promotional materials, and souvenir ephemera from the era. These images are used to create street-style posters that will be distributed across the city of Vancouver, beginning in late February 2009 and continuing during the run-up to, and through to the beginning of the 2010 Olympic Games.
