ALAN STOREY: ARTIST TALK

Saturday, July 24, 2 p.m.

Free

Vancouver artist Alan Storey's inclusion in this exhibition represents a different way of redefining drawing. Since the 1980s Storey has invented drawing machines, devices that work within parameters established by the artist that nevertheless result in drawings that are determined by an element of chance. Unlike the work of the other artists in this exhibition, Storey's drawings are not made by hand. Instead, it is the machine that is made by hand and which then creates the drawings. For this exhibition Storey reconfigures one of his signature drawing machines, in which a small battery-operated vehicle drags felt tip pens across stretched white canvases, progressively forming a complex linear drawing. The time-based aspect of the drawing machine allows visitors to watch the drawing develop over the duration of the show.

Questions and comments from the audience will be welcomed.
