A Life in Pictures
Equinox Gallery is pleased to present Fred Herzog: A Life in Pictures, an exhibition of vintage photographs and cameras from the artist’s personal archive. Bringing together early black and white images developed in the artist’s personal darkroom, never before seen images from the artist’s time at St. Paul’s and his pioneering colour street photography, this exhibition celebrates Herzog’s understanding of the medium combined with, as he put it, “how you see and how you think” created the right moment to take a picture.

Holding Pattern
Renée Van Halm
Holding Pattern
Renée Van Halm’s extensive knowledge of architectural forms stemming from years of study and travel have led to the development of a unique language relating to the social dimension of architecture, design, and colour. Traditional views of space are dematerialized and reimagined in synthesis with weavings, shreds of origami paper, and diminutive modernist forms. The works on canvas in this exhibition are based on the works of female artists from the 1920s, including painters such as Sonia Delaunay and Varvara Stepanova, textile artists Anni Albers and Marion Dorn, and Bauhaus artists and educators Otti Berger and Gunta Stölzl. Using experimental motifs and colour relationships developed by these artists, Van Halm reintegrates these unconventional patterns within a two- dimensional painting language that envelops the viewer, bringing out obvious and subtle associations between colour and forms.

Tlakwa
T̓łakwa is engaged with copper as its main subject in material, concept, and form. While maintaining a profound connection to past traditions, Assu’s practice emphasizes the intersections and boundaries of traditional Indigenous art within the larger realm of contemporary practices, bringing to light a complex conversation between established practices and unconventional approaches.

Gathie Falk
New Paintings and Sculpture
Over the past sixty years, Gathie Falk has traversed the mediums of performance, sculpture, painting, drawing, ceramics, and installation establishing her practice as one of a true original. This exhibition continues Falk’s devotion and keen observations of everyday objects with the added, and perhaps unintentional, promise of rebirth by revisiting a number of ideas, from the idiosyncratic fruit piles that infuse minimalism with domestic content, to clothing elements that explore ritual, gender, and status.

Leave the Window Open
Equinox Gallery is very pleased to present Leave the Window Open, an exhibition that considers the space of architecture and its relationships to materials, memory and abstraction in light of the after-effects of modernism. Three British Columbia-based artists from three distinct generations are included in the exhibition: B.C. Binning, Devon Knowles, and Renée Van Halm. The fields of practice of the artists each examine built environments, taking those observations and insights and transforming them into paintings, sculptures, and installations.

It Goes On
Kim Dorland
It Goes On
Kim Dorland’s paintings are accumulative, both in the way the paint is added to the surface, sometimes in thick impasto, other times delicately one layer atop another like a stamp placed on a letter, and in the psychological states they reveal and represent. Ultimately, the world created by Dorland in It Goes On is one where the natural world has begun to fight back, transforming forests and sunsets that were once sites of solace and contemplation into psychological states fraught with questions as to how we will find our way out of this mess.

Bobbie Burgers
Fragile State
Bobbie Burgers uses painting as an opportunity to move between the imaginary and the represented. Her expressive and gestural brushstrokes are intrinsic to her practice and highlight the emotional power of her paintings.
View WorkPrimary Colour
Primary Colour
Primary Colour is a view of early colour street photography from 1950 to 1983 with works by Fred Herzog, Vivian Maier, Gordon Parks, Helen Levitt, Harry Callahan, Ernst Haas, Saul Leiter, Joel Meyerowitz, and William Eggleston. Each of the photographers included in this exhibition have adopted and adapted the ethos of the flâneur as a wandering observer of the events of urban life. Compelled by the challenge to use colour film in their desire to observe and capture in the very same moment, the candid and striking nature of these photographs blurs the boundary between artistic expression and documentary record.
