Press Release Press Release CAG and artist Harrell Fletcher launch a satellite gallery at Lord Strathcona Elementary School in Vancouver, BC. Harrell Fletcher, KSMoCA, 2017. Courtesy the artist Artist: Harrell Fletcher Project: A New Path to the Waterfall Dates: September 11, 2017 – June 15, 2018 Location: Lord Strathcona Elementary School, Vancouver Preview: Wednesday, September 13, 5-6.30pm This autumn we begin an ambitious public project with US artist Harrell Fletcher, working with a broad range of Vancouver school students, residents and artists to develop a series of participatory projects reflecting the artist’s interest in bringing art and life together. Underlining CAG’s philosophy in establishing integrated programming as a way to question the role of the public cultural institution, Fletcher will work collaboratively with teachers, school staff and students to transform teacher, Maryann Persoon’s grade 6/7 classroom at Lord Strathcona Elementary School into a satellite space, playing host to a number of collaborative projects with Vancouver based artists Justine A. Chambers, Elisa Ferrari, Carmen Papalia, Hannah Jickling, Helen Reed and T’uy’t’tanat-Cease Wyss. As the school year unfolds, artists and students will engage in the creation of projects and interventions inspired by school curriculum presented throughout the building and local neighbourhood. Fletcher has chosen to acknowledge the collaborative nature of his practice by creating a hybrid context that brings together a constellation of students, teachers, artists, gallery staff and community in the production of culture offering a breadth of types of work and critical thinking. By adopting the same title as Raymond Carver’s final book, A New Path to the Waterfall, a collection of more than sixty poems connected with the work of writers that inspired the author, Fletcher suggests this project as a similar endeavour of love, life, work and engagement with everyday life. A New Path to the Waterfall will be presented to the public through exhibitions, interventions, performances and public programming at six week intervals throughout the school year. The public are welcome to attend these events and programs during set hours provided on the project website. Please see www.anewpathtothewaterfall.ca for further announcements. Harrell Fletcher will be available for press interviews September 12-13. Please contact Ellie Nixon at [email protected] if you would like to arrange an interview. Generously supported by TELUS Community Board, the Vancouver Foundation, the Hamber Foundation and Artstarts/Artists in the Classroom –ENDS– Notes to editors For further press information and images, please contact: Ellie Nixon | Marketing and Communications Officer | [email protected] About the artists Harrell Fletcher Fletcher has produced a variety of socially engaged collaborative and interdisciplinary projects since the early 1990s.

Fletcher is Professor of Art and Social Practice at Portland State University, Oregon. Justine A. Chambers Justine A. Chambers’ interests lie in collaborative creation and re-imagining dance performance. She is drawn to the movement of all bodies, and focuses on the dances that are already there - the social choreographies present in the everyday. Chambers is a founding member of project bk, associate artist to The Dance Centre and in the winter of 2017 was an artist-in-residence at artist-run centre 221a in Vancouver. Elisa Ferrari Elisa Ferrari is an artist and curator living on unceded Coast Salish territories (Vancouver). She works with archival fragments of text, image and videography to consider the act and implication of retrieval in projects that manifest through installation, performances, artist books, sound walks and photography. Helen Reed and Hannah Jickling Helen Reed and Hannah Jickling have been collaborating since 2006. Their projects take shape as public installations, social situations and events that circulate as photographs, videos, printed matter and artist’ multiples. Since 2015, the artists have developed their ongoing public art project Big Rock Candy Mountain, a candy factory at Queen Alexandra Elementary School, curated by Vanessa Kwan and commissioned by Other Sights for Artists’ Projects. Carmen Papalia Carmen Papalia is a social practice artist and non-visual learner who uses organizing strategies and improvisation to navigate his access to public space, the art institution and visual culture. His work has been featured as part of exhibitions and engagements at, amongst others, Tate Liverpool, UK; the Museum of Modern Art in New York and Gallery Gachet in Vancouver. T’uy’t’tanat-Cease Wyss T’uy’t’tanat-Cease Wyss is an interdisciplinary artist who works with new media as well as community-engaged and public art. She is a Coast Salish ethnobotanist and recently has returned to working with textiles through learning Coast Salish weaving techniques in wool and cedar. She is a member of the Aboriginal Writers Collective West Coast and lives in East Vancouver. About Burrard Marina Field House Studio CAG uses the Burrard Marina Field House as a studio for socially-engaged participatory projects in Vancouver. From this site, we develop multi-year community-focused residency initiatives, many of which evolve into off-site projects. This program moves beyond conventional exhibition making, echoing the founding origins of the gallery in 1971 where artists were offered support toward the production of new work offering new ways for individuals to encounter, participate and connect with art and artists. The Field House Studio Residency Program is generously supported by Vancouver Park Board and the City of Vancouver, along with many private and individual donors. Please visit our website for a full list of supporters. For further details about the program, all forthcoming residencies and associated events visit our website at www.contemporaryartgallery.ca and follow the blog at www.burrardmarinafieldhouse.blog For 2016-2019 we acknowledge the generous support for the Field House Studio Residency Program by the Vancouver Foundation. About the Contemporary Art Gallery Established in 1971 the Contemporary Art Gallery is the longest standing free public art gallery in Vancouver dedicated exclusively to presenting contemporary art. By the early 1990s the program expanded providing some of the first institutional exhibitions for many important Vancouver artists, including Brian Jungen, Geoffrey Farmer, Germaine Koh and Steven Shearer. The Contemporary Art Gallery is a publicly funded institution, generously supported by the Canada Council for the Arts, the City of Vancouver and the Province of BC through the BC Arts Council and the BC Gaming Policy and Enforcement Branch.

  • Harrell Fletcher's Learn About Your Neighborhood Food System
    Harrell Fletcher’s Learn About Your Neighborhood Food System Determine a way to define your neighborhood. I'd Materials: suggest four square blocks in all directions around Walking and conversation the place you live in or go to school, but you could do it some other way. Materials: + Paper Walk around and note all of the places that sell food + Pencil or pen in your neighborhood. These could include stores, cafes, food carts, farmers markets, community + Copier or printer gardens, etc. Pick at least five of these places (try to come up with a diverse set, like one cafe, one restaurant, one store, one farmers market, and a food cart or something like that). Contact the people who run each of those five places and ask them if you can observe and interview them (if someone says no then pick a new place). If they say yes, then spend some time at their place. Try to get access to back areas like kitchens and storage areas and make some drawings of what you see. Ask the people who work at the cafes and stores questions about where the food that they sell comes from and how they get it to their businesses. Write down the questions and answers. Ask other questions such as what motivates the people to sell food, what kind of food they like to eat, etc. See if someone will show you how to cook something that is sold at the restaurant, cafe, or food cart. Also see if you can be shown how the food is displayed at stores and farmers markets.

  • THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN: HARRELL FLETCHER Selections
    THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN: HARRELL FLETCHER Selections from the Life and Work of Michael Bravo January 19, 2010 to April 24, 2010 Curated by Harrell Fletcher as part of The Magnificent Seven, this unique, biographical exhibition features artworks by the artist's mentor, family member and friend Michael Bravo. Selections From the Life and Work of Michael Bravo presents paintings, drawings, photographs, prints, and sculptures from the artist's large body of work produced over the past fifty years. The exhibition also highlights a wide range of personal objects that Bravo created for his family including wooden ships, airplanes, and mobiles, as well as family snapshots and other ephemera from the artist's life and career. When Harrell Fletcher was still a baby, Michael Bravo married his older sister Sandra. Noticing early on that Bravo was an artist, a builder, a musician, and a generally unorthodox person different from everyone else in the family, Fletcher wanted to be just like him. Bravo was well-liked among the family, often making toys for the kids, doing work around the house, talking and being friendly with everyone. He took Fletcher fishing, taught him to sing songs, and showed him how to do lithography at an early age. Bravo's artwork also made an early impression on Fletcher; he recalls being confused and intrigued by the abstract, strange, and varied pieces. After Fletcher's sister and Bravo divorced when he was ten years old, Fletcher did not see the artist again until he was 18 and enrolled in college at Humboldt State University where Bravo was a Professor of Art.

  • Flagler College Welcomes Visiting Artist Harrell Fletcher
    CRISP-ELLERT ART MUSEUM For Immediate Release August 7, 2012 Flagler College Welcomes Visiting Artist Harrell Fletcher The Crisp-Ellert Art Museum is proud to present, Before and After 1565: A Participatory Exploration of St. Augustine’s Native American History, collaboratively produced by members of the St. Augustine community with Portland based artist Harrell Fletcher. The project begins on Friday, August 31 with a panel discussion including the artist and participating Flagler College students at 4pm, and an opening reception from 5 until 9pm. The project includes a museum exhibition, as well as a Trolley Tour of local sites related to St. Augustine’s Indigenous and Native American history, a stand serving indigenous “Black Drink,” and an accompanying newspaper publication. Additional related programs will include a Timucuan Technology workshop on indigenous pyrotechnology in collaboration with the Northeast Chapter of the Florida Public Archeology Network. The project will run through October 19. Fletcher was initially drawn to the rich history of the First Coast’s indigenous population, as well the later history of Native American internment at the Castillo de San Marcos (then, Fort Marion). While much of the local historical focus is placed on the Spanish colonial development, little is available to the immediate public and visiting tourist population about the thriving cultures that existed on the east coast before the arrival of European settlers. In turn, “Before and After 1565” enlists the help of local students, archaeologists, educators and other community outlets in order to further examine this cultural heritage and to provide a resource to the community in which to learn more about this vital part of St.

  • Appropriation / Collaboration: Christian Marclay / Harrell Fletcher & Miranda July at the University of Michigan Museum of Art
    Exhibition reviews edited by Miriam De Rosa and Malin Wahlberg (NECS Publication Committee) Appropriation / Collaboration: Christian Marclay / Harrell Fletcher & Miranda July at the University of Michigan Museum of Art Tung-Hui Hu On the University of Michigan Museum of Art’s (UMMA) website students have been spotted hugging a sculpture, conversing with a lifelike piece of clothing, or holding an inspirational banner encouraging others to love art. These uploads came out of a participatory art project the museum launched to promote and mirror its recent exhibition on new media titled Appropriation / Collaboration (3 May – 20 July 2014). As if to underscore the sense that this exhibition is more at home in a digital space than in a physical space, actually finding Appropriation / Collaboration takes a little detective work. The two artworks that comprise the exhibition, Christian Marclay’s Telephones (1995) and Harrell Fletcher & Miranda July’s Learning to Love You More (2002-2009), are housed on opposite sides of the museum. You are as likely to stumble into a room of American portraiture as the black box showing Marclay’s video. UMMA has welcomed such unusual juxtapositions since it began inviting guest curators each year to direct programming for its New Media Gallery, which opened in 2011. This year Rudolf Frieling, media arts curator at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, has used his museum’s collection (available because the San Francisco museum is closed for expansion until 2016) to organise a three-part series on medium and performativity in time-based art. Appropriation / Colla- boration is the final part of this series.１ The UMMA space allowed Frieling to situate new media artworks outside of their typical locations within the contem- porary art museum by placing works within a 19th century apse and by using a second space fronted by a glass-and-steel curtain wall to expose interior artworks to curious passers-by.
