Vancouver Special: Ambivalent Pleasures

Surveying the past five years, in February 2017 the Vancouver Art Gallery will launch a triennial exhibition, Vancouver Special, that assesses the recent artistic production of the region. Tie-in publication Vancouver Special will both document and further the critical conversation around works included in the exhibition, featuring essays on the impact of austerity, increased global interconnectedness, and the arrival of cloud internet on the West Coast art world.
