Caesura Conversation: Stories in Reserve
February 9, Wednesday, 2-4pm, James Gallery

If tourism is the modern realization of a human urge to be elsewhere,
how does this urge mutate when the elsewhere becomes the right here,
or vice versa? Join artists Sarah Kanouse, Ricardo Miranda Zúñiga,
Ryan Griffis, Lize Mogel, and Sarah Ross for a presentation of
travelogues from throughout North America. Moving from a series of
interviews with dentists working along the Southern perimeter of the
US-Mexico border to a walking tour examining the history and impact of
two global mega-events (Expo 86 and the 2010 Winter Olympic Games) on
Vancouver’s False Creek, the five artists will lead the audience on
tours of three distinct social and ecosystems.
