Counter Mapping
Date: January 18 – 29, 2011
Location: Roundhouse Community Arts and Recreation Centre, Gerry Thorne Exhibition Gallery.
Website: www.pushfestival.ca/shows/counter-mapping/
As part of the PuSh International Performing Arts Festival, Urban Crawl presents Counter Mapping. This visual art exhibition appropriates mapping technologies and disrupts the authority of maps to flatten and deaden the complex social worlds of Vancouver. Working across disciplines, artists deploy a range of tactics in their rewriting of the urban landscape. In Counter Mapping, we move from tracking individual lines of inquiry through GPS to impersonating tour guides in offering alternative histories of the city. We work from animating walking as a creative process and means of urban navigation to restaging the archive to publicize the private. From acoustic ecology to staged spatial disruptions, assembled works tender sensory narratives that constitute this unwieldy entity that we collective know as Vancouver.

La Marea
Date: January 18 – 22, 2011, (7-9pm)
Location: Vancouver’s Gastown, (0-100 block of Water Street)
Website: www.bocadellupo.com
At night and in real time in Gastown’s streetscapes, Boca del Lupo Theatre Society presents nine different secret stories in La Marea. Whether on the pavement, in storefronts or on restaurant patios, nine scenes are performed concurrently and repeated 10 times. Audiences move between sections watching the action, and reading projected subtitles to reveal the characters’ thoughts and life-stories. An investigation of the cityscape, La Marea reveals the intimate lives of individuals amidst the collective hustle of a seemingly anonymous urban experience. La Marea is free and audience is welcome to come and go as they please. Dress warmly.
