FRAGMENTS -
a group exhibition curated by Mini and Michael Gallerists, includes work by artists Donald Graham, Foster Eastman, michaelmichaelmichael, Mini Choi, Peter Kam, and Pieann Lee.

FRAGMENTS -
Fragments involves artists from the award winners of the Berlin International Film Festival to local Vancourites. From edible art to contemporary photography, the art exhibition is a fragmentation bomb of art and culture.

We live in a fragmented world devoid of true understanding of the world. Is our culture despairingly fractured? Is there a mixed sense of disillusionment, enchantment, and confusion in the fragments of our lives? A fragmentation bomb of images is being distorted, reframed, reconstructed, and decomposed. Artists are going to render, to deconstruct, to recompose these fragments in a fractious world.

FRAGMENTS -
Exhibition Opening: Friday, July 13th, 2018 ( 7pm - 9pm ) Exhibition Period: July 13th - July 21, 2018 ( Viewing by appointment only ) Foster Eastman Gallery, 1442 West Pender Street, Coal Harbour, Vancouver, BC.

Foster Eastman:

Foster Eastman is a multi-disciplined artist whose work examines social and cultural issues often shrouded in taboo and stigma. Recent exhibits have considered diverse issues including the atrocities that occurred in China under Mao Tse-tung, the challenges returning Veterans from Afghanistan face as they reintegrate into civilian life as well as installations that leverage visual arts practices to give voice to those struggling with depression and suicide. Foster’s lestweforgetCANADA mural, created with Veterans and community members was featured at the National Day of Honour breakfast in May 2014 for families of the fallen hosted by the Prime Minister and during Remembrance Day week ceremonies at the Canadian War Museum. His most recent work teamed Veterans with First Nations master carver Xwalactun to carve a Tribute Pole which was exhibited during the month of November, 2015 along side the mural in Canada House, Trafalgar Square, UK. The Tribute Pole now joins their permanent collection. HRH Prince Harry and HRH Prince Andrew visited Canada House to view Foster’s collaborative works with Veterans.
