Happy Valley: David Acheson and Lorna Mills
October 26 - December 15, 2002
Happy Valley is about surface and depth. Slick and happy, the surfaces of the work smooth over the crisis beneath. Consciously using cultural references and a play on recognition, the artists seduce the viewer into what appears to be a playful world only to question the values of this world and realities entrenched there.
Curator: Corinna Ghaznavi

Mapping Territories
August 2 - October 13, 2002
Artists Delia Cross Child, Faye HeavyShield, Frederick McDonald and Lionel Peyachew introduce us to their home territories. Although born and living within Treaty areas 6, 7 and 8, they articulate contemporary Aboriginal perspectives within a distinctly "post-Treaty" context that underscores deep personal and cultural connections. The exhibition becomes a collective map connecting history and community with place.
Curator: Lee-Ann Martin

Allyson Clay: Imaginary Standard Distance
April 13 - May 26, 2002
This exhibition is a mid-career retrospective of the work of Vancouver-based artist Allyson Clay. It is texturally rich and includes artworks ranging from painting to video.
