Glen Lewis Performance

Presentation House is showcasing The Early Works of Glenn Lewis throughout the month of October. Lewis, from the Vancouver school, is a well known multidisciplinary artist who has created artworks in a variety of mediums, including film and video, sculpture, as well as many performance works. In addition to the artwork on display at the PHG Satellite Gallery, there also be a reperformance of Lewis’ work 400 Yards of Burned Paper in a Square, next week on October Wednesday 6, 2010. This event will take place at Spanish Banks at 12:00 p.m. This will be a great experience to relive this performance work by Lewis, and hopefully catch a peek of sunshine too.
