Intersecting Orbits: Exhibition tour in Farsi

West Coast artists Joan Balzar and Michael Morris were foundational in the history of conceptual art, abstraction and Op art in the region. To be within their orbit was to be part of a movement which shaped and internationalized visual art in the 1960s and 70s in this part of the country, and went on to become enduringly echoed and quoted. This exhibition will feature work from Morris’s personal art collection and by the artist himself, as well as selected major Balzar works from a private North Vancouver collection. Curated by Lisa Baldissera and David MacWilliam
