The Collective’s books range in topic from themes of history and travel to cybernetics and humour. It’s most recent anthology was Giants of Main Street, a compendium of stories centered on the theme or urban fantasy. The show Cirrus is a display of comic pages presented as art when removed from sequential order. Audience Portraits – Suzy Stroet July 31st, 2012 - September 3rd, 2012 “This series of paintings portrays audience members as an examination of a collective experience. Looking back at the audience, the viewer is positioned at the front of the theatre and so the spectator becomes the spectacle.” Suzy Stroet was born and raised in Vancouver and continues to live and work on the west coast. She is an emerging artist whose work focuses on people and how they interact with, and inhabit the spaces they create. Her figurative work focuses on how people present and view themselves within their communities and the larger communities that they are a part of. Her art also addresses the ever-evolving nature of human manufactured environments and the tension between physical, digital, social and emotional spaces. Her body of work Audience Portraits is an examination of the cyclical relationship between performers and their audience. |
