Charlene Vickers and Chad MacQuarrie
Portals and Improvisations

In a series of in-the-moment-moments Charlene Vickers and Chad MacQuarrie will activate the gallery space using improvised sound, vocals, and performed action followed by a music set of guitar and electronics. Things to see and hear could include a Jeff Wall portal, a megaphone tutorial, invisible painting making and meditations between guitar and Kaosillator Pad. Vickers and MacQuarrie have been involved in making improvised sound together since 2014, this will mark their first exploration combining performance art and music.

This event will also mark the last day of the exhibition Surrogates.

Please join us to celebrate the opening of a new exhibition at Griffin Art Projects on Saturday, March 5 at 3-5pm.

Surrogates, selected from three local art collections by curator Helga Pakasaar, brings together some of Vancouver’s most prominent artists with significant international figures.

Wine and light refreshments will be offered.
