vacations. In these paintings I explore the complications of finding your place
wherever you are, and within your relationships.

10:00 pm. If you can’t make it out you have a whole month to check it out. (as

MAY FEATURED ARTIST |
Adrian Göllner @ The Shanghai
My
artworks address particular contexts. Given a billboard on which to
work, I designed mock advertisements; allowed to work in a military
bunker, I made some propaganda. When faced with a conventional gallery
space, I am inclined to play off the stylings of contemporary art.
Within the above however, there are constants. I have an abiding
interest in abstraction and the history of the last century. Of specific
interest are those points where design and art cross, ie: the Bauhaus,
the Soviet Avant-garde, and American industrial design of the 1930s.
Stylistic references to these movements are referred to, coyly, to
enhance my investigations into the Cold War, architecture and our
consumer society.
My intent is to satirize, but I hope I do so with a degree of subtlety.
By closely emulating graphic styles and employing commercial production
techniques, I am able to hide my own hand and create images that defy
easy interpretation as art. The results are mildly subversive.

Photography by Paul Wong
Friday, November 7, 2008 at 7:00pm to 1:00 am @ Shanghai
Recently
excavated from the bowels of Paul Wong’s archives is a collection of now
vintage images of the People’s Republic of China. During Wong’s
first and second journeys to the motherland in 1982 + 86, he shot 100’s
of frames of color transparencies and b/w photograph.
In 1988, he created the feature length video Ordinary Shadows, Chinese
Shade. On this the 20th anniversary of the critically acclaimed work (in
the collection of the National Gallery), OSCS will be screened as part
of the spotlight on Paul Wong at this years Reel Asian Film Festival in
Toronto on Nov. 14.
Over the last 26 years Wong has made numerous visits to China and has
accumulated thousands of images and dozens of hours of audio/ video
recordings and super 8 film. His most recent visit to Beijing was in
June 2008.
MADE IN CHINA is a project/exhibition and publication in development. He
has made a special selection of 24 photographs to be exhibited at the
Shanghai Restaurant in Ottawa. This will be a unique opportunity to see
Made In China. He is creating this specifically for the Shanghai space
and audience. The photographs will be printed
using archival inks and paper.
This first public offering of Made In China will be available for sale
at made in China prices.
