Opening reception: Thursday, June 12, 7-9 pm Performance with James Albers: Sunday, July 27, 1-3 pm
Used in photography and painting to illustrate the radiant effects of the sun when it is near the horizon, the term golden hour describes the way light shifts to warmer tones just before sunset and just after sunrise. This exhibition shares views of landscape, light and luminosity from multiple perspectives, investigating the cyclical nature of day to night, beginnings and endings.
Curated by the entire Burnaby Art Gallery team, this exhibition brings forward responses to the collection from the perspectives of those who produce public programs, work closely with the collection and visitors and work towards maintaining the building itself. The exhibition includes audio guides illuminating the works.
With works by Vikky Alexander, Hana Amani, Gillian Armitage, Manuel Barbadillo, Joan Bell-Irving, Marcel Dzama, Gathie Falk, J.C. Heywood, Luke Marston, Gary Lee-Nova, lessLIE, Edna Myers, Hiromi Nakatsugawa, Mary Plumb Blade, Gita Teearu, Arnold Shives and more.
