Big Print Project
Using a steamroller in an open-air summer event, a team of 12 artists created woodblocks on full sheets of MDF board that were inked and printed. This weekend of collaborative printmaking was a first for Vancouver. Peter Braune of New Leaf Editions and Creative Cultural Collaborations produced this project in August 2014.
Artists: Susan Point, Michael Abraham, Peter Kiss, Betsabee Romero, Arnold Shives, Jerry and Jeremi Whitehead, Cody Lecoy, Gerald Pedros, Cheryl Hamilton, Soo Sunny Park and Richard Tetrault
Point of Contact, Cuba
La Raza artists, in collaboration with Cuban artists, designed and painted the mural called Point of Contact - Idea of North. It expresses layered facets of the north, particularly as a visionary landscape lying beyond the conventional boundaries of maps. Imagery includes the floating form of a canoe that contains symbolic elements from the natural world, a series of striving figures below, a tower of antlers, a compass, and a pair of ravens. Flanking these birds is a stamp with an image of the Tocorroro, the national bird of Cuba. Leading the procession of images is a mythic figure above an urban winter landscape of highways and commerce.
Canadian & Cuban Artists: Gerald Pedros, Esther Rausenberg, Brian Saby, Richard Tetrault
