Tim Lee·s The Move features performative video and
photography based works that play with the conventions
and tropes of high modernism, through deadpan humour
and irony. Using multiple depictions of his own image,
Lee creates a series of enclosed conversational loops
based on his interest in systems of communication, and a
process of reintroducting certain historical forms to a
contemporary practice.

The Western Front and Centre A join forces to present the
collaboration of two of Vancouver·s leading contemporary
Asian Artists. An electric and enigmatic glass installation by
Japanese glass artist Miyuki Shinkai serves as the setting for
a solo dance performance by acclaimed choreographer and
dancer Alvin Erasga Tolentino. Breaking boundaries through
experimentation, the two artists stretch their vision and join
forces to create this unique work of art that pays homage to
the undying memories of their past and present heritage and
generations. Minori delivers an original visual and physical
expression, fresh to the senses and close to the heart. Made
possible by the generous support of Anndraya T. Luui.
