Ruins in Progress: Vancouver Art in the Sixties
We weren't sure whether to file this item in the Art or Online section, because it happens to fit both categories. The Morris and Helen Belkin Art Gallery at The University of British Columbia and the grunt gallery, Vancouver, have announced the launch of Ruins in Process: Vancouver Art in the Sixties, an online resource and digital archive incorporating hundreds of photographs, press clippings, audio recordings and film clips. Drawn from private collections and archives as well as public sources, Ruins in Process brings together the research of many artists, curators and writers in an exploration of the diverse artistic practices of Vancouver art in the 1960s and early 1970s. Collaborative methods, interdisciplinary activity and an interest in emerging technologies are revealed in the selections of the contributors to this educational resource. The website has a fully searchable digital collection, video interviews with artists Ingrid Baxter, Christos Dikeakos, Carole Itter, and Gary Lee-Nova, as well as a number of essays that contextualize the work in the archive. Check it out at www.vancouverartinthesixties.com. In the photo: Artist Carole Itter and her raw egg costume.
