CHCE (eng. WANT / WISH / FANCY) - Olga Dziubak & Barbara Gryka

Bad signals. Disconnected memories. Pixelated images form into nightmares and lead us to explore the dark side of our unconscious. An invitation to bifurcations inside the unknown.

Why not take an alternative sightseeing tour to find the border of the end of Knowingness and transform that path into an irreplaceable sensory experience?

Rays of light illuminate distinct complementary perspectives along a spatial Bokeh. Transparency brings lives together like seasonal souvenirs, waiting to be brought to intimacy.

Jia-Jen Lin

http://jiajenlin.info/

Jia-Jen Lin creates images of the human body and its surroundings as a reflection of our psyche. Drawing from personal experience and observations, Lin uses sculpture integrated with photography, video, and performance to portray the ongoing negotiation between our latent desires and the manipulated realities in which we find ourselves. Hybrid cultures, shifting identities, and the relationships between our physicality and psychology are subjects Lin has investigated since 2004. Her recent projects explore humanity’s experience of displacement, self-consciousness and loss and how memories change with modified experience and new events.

Jia-Jen Lin is a Taiwanese artist based in New York. Lin attended National Taiwan Normal University for a BFA in Western Painting and received her MFA in sculpture, installation, and multimedia from the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. She has participated in artist residencies at International Studio & Curatorial Program, New York; L’Estruch, Spain; Water Mill Center, New York; Bemis Center for Contemporary Arts, Nebraska; and Perth Institute of Contemporary Arts. Exhibitions include Queens International 4, Queens Museum; Incheon Women Artists’ Biennale, South Korea; Young Artist Discovery, Art Taipei; and Manufractura, Hangar Art, Barcelona. She has received grants from Brooklyn Arts Council, Sculpture Space, Franconia Sculpture Park, National Culture and Arts Foundation of Taiwan, and Ministry of Culture of Taiwan.

Scott Sinclair

http://www.halftheory.com/

Scott Sinclair is an audiovisual artist working in sound, video, performance, and installation. Using a highly interdisciplinary approach, Scott creates brutalist and humorous collages of audiovisual media incorporating elements such as computer music, cracked video art, found objects, custom-made costumes, and improvised performance. His work is often concerned with the over-stimulation of these elements to bring about states of intensified noise delirium.

As a performer, Scott is known for his highly energetic and unpredictable performances which are often equal parts brutal avant-garde and equal parts low-brow trash. His concerts have found audiences on many tours in Europe, Australia, Japan, Russia, and North America. Scott currently performs in the audiovisual groups Botborg and The Superusers, and his solo noise-karaoke project Company Fuck.

He lives and works in Berlin, Germany.

LUSH Gorilla Perfume Presents: Gorilla Gallery Vol IV in Vancouver

With the long-awaited launch of LUSH Gorilla Perfume IV, comes the return of the Gorilla Gallery.

At Gorilla, they’ve always said that Perfume is Art, and have always been passionate about exploring art in all its forms. That’s why every time they release a new collection of perfumes they create an interactive exhibition, where each one becomes its very own installation. Guests are allowed to truly immerse themselves in the scents and experience the stories that inspired them.

Volume IV perfumes have been influenced by some exceptional stories so the curators are excited for as many people as possible to experience the installations, films and photography. With this in mind, the scented exhibition will be touring around to the fine cities of Vancouver, Chicago and Dallas.

Come and experience what it feels like to be on the Road From Damascus, let yourself go in the Self Esteem Machine, and make yourself comfortable in a converted water tank that was inspired by the extraordinary story of Tachowa Covington, a homeless man from L.A and the abandoned tank he turned into a home which was subsequently tagged by Banksy.

The perfumes and installations have been the result of Head Perfumer Simon Constantine’s friendship with Hal Samples, a photographer and filmmaker from Dallas who has some remarkable tales to tell. Through their collaboration, the latest Gorilla collection has explored incredibly important themes, such as homelessness, refugees, identity and mental health, which have been thoughtfully transformed into scent. They will also be showing ‘Metamorphosis’ – the first in a series of documentaries called ‘Samples of Society’ that have been made by Hal to document his life-changing experiences with homelessness.

As well as the interactive exhibition, they’ll be hosting regular live music events and selling exclusive perfumes and products, including Tank Battle and Blackcurrant Angel, that have never before been on sale. Also available will be: Secret Garden, Sweet Grandma, Road From Damascus, Iamesh and Self Esteem Machine, along with exclusive Amelie Mae FUN.
