hope to see you at Evan Lee's opening at Presentation House Gallery (333 Chesterfield Ave. North Vancouver) this afternoon--

"Evan Lee's photographs are explorations of the extraordinary within the ordinary. He has continued the research strain of Vancouver practice that seeks meaning in detail, an idea that goes back to the 1950s work of Fred Herzog and has been continued by Roy Arden, Karin Bubas, Scott McFarland and Jeff Wall, among others. Lee�s work specifically addresses the presence of "the phenomenal" in the detritus of our secular world. The exhibition is an overview of all of Lee's projects since 1998, and will debut a new body of work focussed on the forms of the ginseng root. 64-page catalogue with texts by Christopher Brayshaw, Peter Culley, Jeff Wall and William Wood will be available at the opening. Curated by Bill Jeffries.


Artist Talk: Saturday January 21, 3:00pm followed by a reception from 4 - 6pm at PHG."
