Current Micro-Exhibition

Reece Terris: Like a Bridge

Date: September 9 – October 17, 2021
Description: Reece Terris is a Vancouver based artist, who is known for his sculpture, performance, installation and photographic works that explore an integration of distinctive concepts and compositions at mundane locations. His works often bring forward qualities of a place, as well as functionalities of an object, as they relate to North American built environment, social history, politics, real-estate development and economic activities. Through his work, Reece creates a hybrid space of design, form, and function that crosses boundaries between conventionally accepted ideas. Terris' latest work is a wooden bridge linking his home to the house next door. The framed arch sculpture is made of 2 x 4 lumber measuring 37 feet long and 36 feet high.

Permanent Collection

The Museum contains a permanent collection of nearly 200 works of art from coastal British Columbia, including an outstanding collection of nineteenth century Northwest Coast masks, one of Canada’s strongest Emily Carr collections, as well as art by notable post-war modernists such as E.J. Hughes, Gordon Smith and Jack Shadbolt.

The collection includes The Crazy Stair, a painting by Emily Carr which sold at auction for a record-breaking $3.3 million. This price was the highest ever paid for an Emily Carr at auction, the highest for a work by a Canadian female artist and the fourth most expensive work at an art auction in Canada.
