If your looking for something to do this weekend, Friday is a good night to do a little art crawl, as there are several openings throughout the city.
Equinox Gallery – Edge of Town
A slightly early opening, this is probably a good first stop. Equinox Gallery’s upcoming show is a photography exhibition, presenting some of North America’s most well known photographers of the 20th century. Artists exhibiting include Robert Adams,William Eggleston, Walker Evans, Fred Herzog, Geoffrey James, Joel Sternfeld, and others. Should be a good show.

2321 Granville St
221A – Some Powers of Ten
Show featuring five artists, the exhibition explores from the film Power of Ten (Eames, 1968) and explores interactions and human perceptions of our constructed urban environment. Imagery explores the language of architecture, cartography, and constructions.
Opening Reception Friday October 15th, 2010 – 8:00 p.m.
221 E. Georgia St. (At Main St.)
Centre A – “her rain” – Lani Maestro
“Maestro often uses minimal and simple visual language to address the complexities of human nature, dignity and conditions in our social, cultural and political realities as we experience them in everyday life. Her works are poetic, powerful and complex and defy conventional interpretation. In the space Maestro creates with “her rain” at Centre A, she poses an open-ended philosophical question: “how is subjectivity situated?” (source: www.centrea.org, 2010)

performance-based photographs, part of work that was produced last winter
during the Master Class Residency at The Banff Centre for the Arts.
