SOLD
CSA Space
#5-2414 Main Street
Show runs to Nov. 21
The red dot in a gallery is
the sign of the artist's success: it means that a work
has sold. For Derek Brunen's
installation at this small
gallery above Main street,
he and a team of assistants
covered a wall with dots a
half-inch apart. The 150,000
dots give the wall a trippy
look, a sort of late capitalist
pointillism. Is the wall for
sale? The gallery? The dots
themselves? Or has Brunen
sold out? You decide.
• DEREK DUNLOP

YOU

#4-2414 Main Street

Next door to CSA Space is
the Blanket Gallery: the current show is up until tomorrow. Check out Derek Dunlop's (an M FA student at
U.B.C.) drawings from Molson Canadian commercials.
Now all those lonely hearts
and men on the hunt look
even more pathetic in Dunlop's minimal, evocative
sketches. By reversing the
production process (advertising often begins with a
sketch), the angst that beer
ads try so hard to hold at
bay comes to the fore.

The Euro art duo Szuper
Gallery (Susanne Clausen
and Pavlo Kerestey) follow
up their performance at the
Vancouver Public Library
with a selection of their
videos from the last ten
years. The highlight might
be Contemporary Art, in
which the pair sneak around
the London offices of the
Bloomberg finance corporation to the sound track of
Apocalypse Now infiltration
art modelled on Hollywood
invasions.
