firstly, i must tell the internet that it is my friend jeremy’s 30th birthday today. it’s nice to have him in the same age-decade as me now. although, as he said to me the other day, he’s always been older than his DOB would have you think. i was planning on posting a slightly embarrassing photo i have of him from our first and only visit a couple of summers ago (crap, has it already been two years?), but then i remembered how much he’d kick my ass if i did. see, jer? this is my gift to you! ;) i quite enjoyed it and would actually like to go back again before it closes next weekend — but this time i’m going to avoid the very nice, but distractingly chatty, older ladies monitoring the space — just to have a little bit more time to absorb the memories. i was very surprised and delighted to find artifacts from my<\/i> highschool in the installations. it just added that little bit more of a connection to the recollections it was meant to evoke. firstly, i must tell the internet that it is my friend jeremy’s 30th birthday today. it’s nice to have him in the same age-decade as me now. although, as he said to me the other day, he’s always been older than his DOB would have you think. i was planning on posting a slightly embarrassing …<\/span> Read More →<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2402","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-photos"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/fubsy.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2402","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/fubsy.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/fubsy.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/fubsy.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/fubsy.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2402"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"http:\/\/fubsy.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2402\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/fubsy.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2402"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/fubsy.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2402"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/fubsy.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2402"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
\nyesterday afternoon (that’s the bit between noon and five o’clock, right?), christopher and i went to view an art installation by the local artists’ collective Futura Bold — which includes author douglas coupland as a member — called The Vancouver School<\/a>. from coupland.com:<\/p>\nWith their new show, the collective will be converting a former North Vancouver elementary school gymnasium into an elaborate meditation on the links between schools, the human body, mass culture and the rituals and spaces that mold a person’s sense of self. Says Douglas Coupland, “We all went to these schools. We know their smells. We know how the locker doors sound when you shut them. We know what the painted lines on the floors are all about. The Vancouver School piece is meant to be walked in and around. It should help you reshuffle your own memories of school.” Derek Root asserts, “It will be an examination of the intersection between desire and mortality.”<\/div>\n
\nif you’re in the vancouver area, i highly recommend you attend. it’s a little out of the way for transit users, but if you ever went to a public school you’ll find something there to give you pause for thought. plus, there’s one absolutely brilliant video installation i think everyone should see.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
