The seven Vancouver artists, Keith HIGGINS, Karen KAZMER, David KHANG, Glenn LEWIS, Kennedy TELFORD, Henry TSANG and Vincent TRASOV, in this mini-exhibition, took the parameters of a short production period, a provided architectural space, as well as my intention to pay homáge to the Italian conceptualist Piero Manzoni. This was due in no small part to the fact that the space was provided as part of QUINARY ART PROJECTS_a 14 week popup gallery sponsored by Wesley Yuen and Dominion Guard Development Group providing less than seven days from start to finish and indicative of the artists' intentions within the concept of their pieces.
I thank all seven for their participation in a quickly created environment for this look at conceptual art and ideas, their work with architectural anomalies and even less time.
