26. Research archive and educational resource: “Vancouver Art in the Sixties”

Vancouver Art in the 1960s

Maybe it’s our tendency to romanticize the past as better-then-the-present, but it often seems that Vancouver was genuinely hip and cool a few decades back, before it was trying to vie for the world-spotlight by packaging itself as hip and cool. This archive site is a nice find, particularly in light of the embarrassing and horrific cuts to the arts announced here in BC (from an annual $47.6M to $3.6M).

Ruins In Process is a research archive and educational resource that brings together still and moving images, ephemera, essays and interviews to explore the diverse artistic practices of Vancouver art in the 1960s and early 1970s. Drawn from private collections and archives as well as public sources, it uses the capacity of the internet as an ideal medium to present the interdisciplinary activities and technologies that emerged at that time. With hundreds of images, texts, audio and video recordings, Ruins In Process will reward repeat visits and ongoing research.

Pictured above is “Vancouver Art Gallery curator Doris Shadbolt sitting on a electronic sound sculpture by Dennis Vance. The work entitled “Fat Emma” was featured in the Vancouver Art Gallery’s exhibition Direction 69. “Fat Emma” was a fiberglass module that picked up various radio stations through movement.” I just love this.

27. Caterpillars and Cupcakes - now I’m hungry!

At First Book, we tend to notice (and love) all things that are children’s book-related. So it’s really no surprise that one of my co-workers came across this great blog post from Lyndsey at Coco Cake cupcakes in Vancouver, BC.

Tasked with creating refreshments for a Very Hungry Caterpillar-themed 1st birthday party, Lyndsey created the caterpillar himself out of cupcakes! Check out the Coco Cake blog to see all of the photos of the making of the caterpillar party train.

And if you’re near Vancouver, be sure to check out how to order all sorts of unique and delicious-looking cupcakes!

28. Chris von Szombathy

I quite like Vancouver artist Chris von Szombathy and his surreal cartoon paintings of food, animals, and existential musings. Fun stuff all around!

29. Edward Kwong

Vancouver illustrator Edward Kwong has some truly lovely work in his portfolio, and over at his blog I found some sketchbook pages that make my own look like the leavings in a handkerchief.

30. Word on the Street.. Part Deux.

It was a lovely weekend over in Vancouver. We couldn’t have asked for better weather. It was a much appreciated contrast to the rainy readings that were done the weekend before during the official opening of the new North Van library.
Meg Tilly shared the stage with new author Susan Juby and Kari-Lynn Winters, author of Jeffrey and Sloth, entertained the crowds during her performance with the Tickle Trunk Players.

31. Poetry Transcends Description

This is just a tree stump sheened with moss, but when I saw it (in a Vancouver park) I thought bear. The deep, but narrow eyes. The truncated nose. The mountainly stretches of cheek.

Still and only a tree bear unless I can animate him in a poem.
