Exhibition To Be Destroyed, Again (Again, in Vancouver)
Here's the Vancouver launch of Exhibition To Be Destroyed!
Exhibition To Be Destroyed, Again
Selections from the archives of the Helen Pitt Gallery, curated by Rita O'Grady
Presented at 221A Artist Run Centre, 221 E. Georgia St., Vancouver BC
August 13 - August 27 2010
In 1981 to 1983, against the backdrop of a highly-politicized government austerity program, expanded police surveillance and widespread civil unrest, a small alternative art gallery in a crumbling building on the edge of Vancouver's Downtown Eastside carried on a prolific schedule of exhibitions, performance art events and punk rock gigs. This exhibition illustrates the polarization and cross-pollination of Vancouver's local visual art, performance art and punk rock communities in the early 1980s with a selection of posters, writings, manifestos and a ransom note from the archives of the Helen Pitt Gallery.

Malati Rossington, of Caraqueña, will cook the full sit-down dinner for 20 at our first storefront dinner and book launch. Reserve soon (below); very limited seating. Carl Skoggard was the staff writer for Nest Magazine, where his unique voice helped define the magazine's frank and curious sensibility.

His translation of Ein Jahr in Arkadien, an 1805 gay fiction by Duke August of Saxe-Gotha and Altenburg, appeared in 1999 as Year in Arcadia. He has been nominated for a nearly a dozen National Magazine Awards.

Carl Skoggard and Lisa Robertson: a night of translations
This reading celebrates Carl Skoggard's west coast tour with a new translation of Berlin Childhood Circa 1900 by Walter Benjamin, published by Publication Studio. What makes this edition particularly noteworthy is Carl's extensive commentary and afterword that generously sheds light on each chapter, drawing together key concepts from other Benjamin sources. And to double the pleasure, Lisa Robertson will grace us with one last reading before she leaves the Bay Area. Lisa, also published by Publication Studio (Occasional Work and Seven Walks from the Office for Soft Architecture), will read from her ongoing translation of Michele Bernstein's situationist novel, Tous les Chevaux du Roi. Free and open to the public. 604 56th Street in North Oakland. Tuesday August 31, 2010. Doors at 7. Words at 7:30 (Please feel free to byob. Some wine and food will be provided.)

Launch of Exhibition To Be Destroyed, Again
Our first co-publication with the Helen Pitt Gallery is being launched during Victoria's Art Crawl, with an exhibition at The Ministry of Casual Living. Long-buried posters and archival ephemera from 1979-1984 -- the period when the student-run Helen Pitt transformed itself into the independent Unit/Pitt Gallery and rocked the city with music and art -- are on view at the Ministry as well as in the pages of this strikingly handsome 11x17" book.
