HERE IS NOW Presents:


Here Is Now is a series of “pop-up” exhibitions that features the work of contemporary Vancouver artists shown within the unconventional space. The intention of Here Is Now is to view the exhibits themselves as an overall installation, through the exploration of time and space, creating an aesthetic that varies in participation, duration and negotiates and reconfigures the use of the unconventional space. Through this approach we wish to create a movement that focuses on what Is Here Now.

HERE IS NOW Second Installment,

HERE IS NOW” is a “pop-up” art show organized by Natasha Lands and Victor Wang. This exhibit features the works of eleven contemporary Vancouver artists, who will be taking over a storefront at the corner of 6th and Main St, Vancouver Canada for one night only.

The intention is to exhibit a diverse range of talented young Vancouver artists in a non-conventional space. This “pop-up” aesthetic demonstrates what can be accomplished independently, with limited time, and limited resources.

HERE IS NOW” hopes to add to the cities cultural diversity and create more attention for the amazing younger contemporary arts community in Vancouver. As 2010 approaches  an increasing number of “POP UP” art shows will be happening in various unconventional and alluring locations around the city.

Pablo Zamudio Guadalajara, Mexico
Pablo Zamudio was born in Guadalajara, Mexico were he received much of his creative influence from the people and culture of that city. Later Pablo would do some freelance graphic designs for such companies as: West Beach, NFA, Option, Level and Devotion 4. During that time Pablo came up with the concept of El Kartel, he would later design the logo for the store and place some of his first artworks on the stores walls. El kartel has since become a successful retail store that has also done such shows as: 100 Amigos group show, and PF flyers Art and Sole show. However despite the stores success when asked about his art work Pablo simple replies “I have loved doodling since I was little, I do it almost every day to relax, but I don’t consider my self an artist”.(Pablo Zamudio)

The Dark Vancouver, Canada
“in order to establish a basis upon which a percipient may observe the construct in which said percipient contains an existence, a divergent existence must be on a threshold of convergence with the percipience contained construct. this will allow the simultaneous recognition of a potential event horizon by both existences such that independent analysis by either existence becomes dependent on the probability of a potential event horizon. the potentiality of convergence, however, is limited by the central tendency and operant conditioning of each percipient within a contained construct. reciprocal determinism on a threshold of convergence may negate the effects of both operant conditioning and central tendency provided that the percipience acknowledgement of these factors is within the contained construct. with an established basis of observance during the convergence of existances, each percipients contained construct becomes polychronically intrapsychic, allowing analysis by both percipients of a respectively convergent construct.” (THE DARK)
