Collage Gallery and City Art now share the same space! We completed the move and celebrated with a reception this past Saturday December 17, 2011.

Our current theme is ” three faces, a portrait of here.” and features the teamwork of d. harris,  eron boyd and sunJye. Viewing is by appointment during the holiday season. We will open regular hours in mid January 2012.

The recent exhibit at Gallery Arcturus of work by Floyd Kuptana has ended, but a collage image of the sculptor has joined the slideshow of characters at:

 Most recently, our brain-storming has led us to experiment with making parts of the collage more obvious by zooming in on them. We created these zoomed-in, cropped, intermediate-step versions of some images using photoshop. This made the transitions more gradual; blending and bridging the two forms.The effect seems to enhance the visual experience by bringing out the more subtle and hidden aspects of the collage.

We also used windows movie maker to make the transitions smoother, adding music and effects like easing in and out. Hopefully it will allow you to see them differently.

It has been posted on youtube for you to view. Enjoy. You may choose to watch these video presentations full screen.  More to come!

The safari page has just been updated with some pictures on the slideshow and some writing on the last safari, enjoy.

Sound vibrations dance.

The City is truly hopping with art! The whole city seems to be transforming itself into a gallery. Walking along dundas st. w. yielded this encounter. His playing was very similar to gamelan orchestra music. If you encounter any art while out in our shared spaces, please give us a heads up — and contribute any pix, vid, words, sounds about engaging street art  to jason@arcturus.ca

We attended the trash art festival put on by Whippersnapper Gallery this weekend and are working on a post about the sacred space installations, so check in soon for the latest developments.

Other new sightings: On the chain link fence, across the street from the cityartproject research laboratory at 230 queen st. e., appeared several patches of colour. Simple woven materials were attached to existing chain links in constructing these gestures. The power of subtle additions to the visual field is evident in the number of people stopping , smiling, touching or just looking.

Much better to look at.
