It’s frigid today in SF–bad for scooting but good for introducing “Alternorthern,” a show of work by notable Canadian artists to open locally at The Lab during the Vancouver Olympics. I’m especially intrigued by the Until We Have a Helicopter cutatorial project (whose recent exhibit featured only work that could fit through a third story gallery window and was featured on the fantastic regional site Vancouver is Awesome) and Zoe Yuristy (work above). The organizers say the Canada project “was conceived in the tension that exists between nationalism, globalization, and individualism: the exhibition is a product of both cultural values and cultural hybridism.” Eh.
