has been for sale for some time, as you have seen. The maintenance and ongoing development to keep our non-profit and idealistic platform for contemporary art running and safe from hackers etc. costs money that is no longer there. Because of small investments that are necessary now and the running costs, we will have to shut down with a heavy heart at the beginning of summer on June 21.
THE URBAN LIFE/NEW YORK
The themes of the paintings have for some years been about the urban, bustling life in the city, where I observe people walking past – people on their way to work, people running short of time, lonely people, on the subway, at a street corner in Harlem, or in a café in East Village. Some people living in the shadows, while others are on the sunny side of the road.
Titles from Simon & Garfunkel music/lyrics
This installation was produced in late july of this year and ran until the end of august at the Alternator Centre for Contemporary Art, in Kelowna BC.

Orrinthaller ( & the apnea of speech)
Orrinthaller is a conceptual installation initiated by the collaborative work of three artists. Through their open processes of art making; Kyle Zsombor, Jorden & David Doody allow happenstance to regurgitate cultural intuition in an act of artistic survival.
Kyle ,Jorden & David are all recent graduates from the UBC-O Fine Arts Department. Although each artist offers a uniquely individual approach to the discourse of visual arts, they share a common focus on the materialism of cultural codification. Their combined individual practices have been heavily influenced by world travel and the cross pollination of mass media, ritual and fetishistic cultures.
