PR – Arts Exhibition: ‘Naguala’ with Claudia Medina

Wed-Fri 2-6pm; Sat-Sun 12-6. A mesmerizing video art installation that delves deep into the rich Mexican traditions of nagualismo, offering a captivating and immersive experience. This three-channel video and two-channel sound project explores the mystical realm of the naguala, where the boundaries between, animals, plants, earth, cosmos, reality and the supernatural, become blurred. The Naguala guide invites you to consider yourself beyond the human, forever transforming, continually being woven into the fabric of life and death.

Art Exhibition: Gibsons Public Market – Lorena Ruth & AC Hoemmken

Lorena Ruth’s art is a beautiful reflection of simplicity and nature. She finds inspiration in the elegance of curves and the dance between light and shadow. Each piece is a tribute to the beauty that exists in our world.

On the other hand, AC Hoemmken is a wizard with mixed media and pencil on card. Their work is a complex labyrinth of lines, shapes, and layers that invites viewers for an immersive visual journey.

Art Exhibition: Sketches For Investment Plans-Aileen Bahmanipour

Aileen Bahmanipour- For Investment Plans

Opening Reception + Artist Talk: Friday, Nov 24th @ 5pm

Her creative process is entangled with images, how and why we make them, and how we interact with them. Since 2009 when the Iranian regime’s restrictions maximized Internet filters, her practice became obsessed with the diagrammatic imagery that was available to her through limited access to information. Perhaps because they were neutral, and not political at all. She recycles diagrammatic imagery to make new circuits and patent files of non-functional systems that blur the borders, and transforms these diagrams into different visual forms of study in systematic non-functionality and stupidity.
