Nov 2 | Vancouver Art Gallery

The Vancouver Art Gallery is the perfect place to bring the kids on a rainy Sunday afternoon. Guided tours and art and craft stations will keep them creatively engaged. This week children responded to the Emily Carr & Landon Mackenzie exhibition through drawings and/or paintings at a work station set up on the fourth floor.

I was also able to catch a glimpse of the installation of Ai Weiwei’s work from the fourth floor of the gallery!

Unscrolled: Reframing Tradition in Chinese Contemporary Art-----Ai Weiwei
Unscrolled:
Reframing Tradition in Chinese Contemporary Art—–Ai Weiwei

Ai Weiwei will be part of the upcoming exhibition Unscrolled: Reframing Tradition in Chinese Contemporary Art. This exhibition creates an exciting dialogue with the current exhibition The Forbidden City: Inside the Court of China’s Emperors, and features work by artists Chen Shaoxiong, Yun Feiji, Liu Jianhua, Jennifer Wen Ma, MadeIn Company, Qiu Shihua, Sun Xun, Xu Bing and Zhang Enli. The exhibition means to define tradition as an evolving concept and to examine its influence on visual culture in contemporary China.
