This week the Cutty Contemporary Art Gallery presents a show entitled Edge of Landscape. The Cutty Gallery is a new artist-run commercial gallery on the scene and is located right next to Medina & Chambar. It's the perfect place to see some art before or after your weekend brunch. Located at 564 Beatty street, they are open Saturday and Sunday 10-4pm

Opening reception is Saturday, April 9, 4-7pm.

Curated by Britt Gallpen, the Edge of Landscape offers an investigation into Vancouver’s relationship to landscape, as a space outside of the traditional Canadian landscape trope and sitting on the western edge of the continent. The works chosen address contemporary conceptions of landscape and marginality in multiple ways. The term “edge” is examined as a complex set of meeting points and contact zones of urban and natural environments and the anxiety produced in these unstable spaces.

Featuring works by:

Jennilee Marigomen

Warren Scheske

Allison Mander

Sarah Morin

Chad Patrick Murray

Ed Spence

Laura Macdonald

Tobin Louise Reimer
