No. 3 Road Art Columns: Andrew Talbot, Emily Lau, Susan Taylor
2024-02-06 - 2024-07-31 | Aberdeen Centre and Lansdowne Centre Skytrain Stations
February 6 – July 31
No. 3 Road Art Columns: Andrew Talbot, Emily Lau, Susan Taylor
Skytrain pillars,
Lansdowne and Aberdeen Stations
The work of artists Andrew Talbot, Emily Lau and Susan Taylor have been installed in the large, backlit display cases at the base of three concrete support columns and will be on view until July 31. This exhibition was produced in partnership with the Richmond Arts Coalition and highlights work by Richmond artists. Andrew Talbot’s paintings at Lansdowne Station present a vibrant celebration of Richmond’s wildlife expressed as a harmonious composition of multiple layers converging into a unified whole. Emily Lau’s digital paintings, also at Lansdowne Station, celebrate the diversity and beauty of individual stories and contributions made by Richmond residents’ and visitors’ day-to-day lives. Susan Taylor’s photographs at Aberdeen Station explore the complexity of lines and nets within the culture of fishing, towing and other water-based activities. The intricate structures of the nets can be transformed into a terrible beauty when, as ghost gear—damaged and abandoned—they can snare marine life.

Exhibition: Ya-Wei Lin – Invisibility

Ongoing – June 24
Exhibition: Ya-Wei Lin – Invisibility
Richmond Cultural Centre Annex – The Annex Gallery
7660 Minoru Gate
Photography, whether still or animated, is Richmond-based artist Ya-Wei Lin’s preferred medium for narrating the world, including daily activities, life experiences, events, and moments as she sees them. Since 2010, her ongoing photographic practice has focused on exploring the meaning of visibility in the context of urban culture. These images depict the fleeting and subtle moments of the seemingly unchanging cityscape, such as the geometric shapes of the many high-rise buildings and urban dwellers’ routine social behavior.

Exhibition: Jiangang Su – Birds and Rocks in Cloud City

Ongoing – June 10
Exhibition: Jiangang Su – Birds and Rocks in Cloud City
Richmond City Hall – City Hall Galleria
6911 No. 3 Road
Birds and Rocks in Cloud City presents a lively natural world integrating the two cultures dear to the Chinese-Canadian multidisciplinary artist Jiangang Su. Enchanted by BC’s natural environment, Su skillfully situates birds native to Canada in the poetic settings typical to traditional Chinese ink and brush paintings. Equally meticulously depicted are the amorphous and porous Taihu (Lake Tai) rocks that are native to Su’s home region Suzhou, which have been appreciated by Chinese literati throughout the millennia.

Exhibition: Membranes and Pith 305 & Reverie 25
Canada Line – Aberdeen Station
The Aberdeen Canada Line Station Art Wrap is presented in partnership with City of Richmond Public Art. What emotions or memories can food unearth? What do our meals reveal about our sense of belonging, family and history? In Membranes and Pith 305 and Reverie 25, Vancouver-based multidisciplinary artist Cherry Archer utilizes the evocative powers of culinary plants deeply rooted in her Trinidadian heritage to create images that awaken memories of her family and culture. She freezes produce in water, creating a “botanical ice tile,” which she then illuminates with coloured light, photographs, and prints in large format.

Exhibition – Hazel Meyer: The Marble in the Basement
Richmond Art Gallery
7700 Minoru Gate
Opening Reception: April 20, 2:00 pm – 4:00 pm
What gets stored in a shoebox? Deposited into an archive? Shoved into a corner? Catalogued as important? Fever pitched towards a garbage can? Centered on a pile of marble scraps that possibly once belonged to iconic Canadian artist experimental filmmaker Joyce Wieland, local artist Hazel Meyer’s The Marble in the Basement untangles issues of power, memory, and inheritance by anthropomorphizing a forgotten object from this influential Canadian artist’s domestic archive.

Steveston Museum and Post Office
3811 Moncton Street
We are thrilled to welcome Jenifer Gustavsen back into the pop up space. Jenifer has been oil painting for the last 2 years. From 1996 to 2006 she worked as a classical animator, which is hand drawn animation. Her film credits include Dreamworks films such as Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, Road to Eldorado, and Sinbad, Legend of the Seven Seas, as well as the indie film The Triplets of Belleville. Shamsi Ashti stands for everything her last name represents in her native language, Persian. Ashti means peace, not as in the opposite of war, but as in achieving tranquility and rekindling a friendship. Shamsi, a Richmond resident for over 30 years, spent most of her childhood in a tranquil family garden in northern Tehran, just beneath the majestic hills and range of the Alborz Mountain.
