International Mail Art Exhibition | |
| Mail Art (aka Postal Art) is an art form where artists exchange artworks and correspondence through the mail to one another. Artists from all over the world have sent in artworks measuring 5" x 5" through the mail for the Richmond Art Gallery’s Mail Art Exhibition and Swap. This exhibition is a cultural exchange, where artists exhibit their works and once the exhibition is over they will receive new works traded for them as part of a "swap". This shared enterprise is free from the rules of the art market, and yet artists responded to the theme of “economy" for the exhibit. |

Fantasy Gardens, Stuart McCall & Neil Wedman | |
| Fantasy Gardens, by Stuart McCall and Neil Wedman consists of two separate bodies of work made years apart but linked by an indelible subject of local history, William Vander Zalm’s Fantasy Garden World. Wedman attended the proceedings of the Vander Zalm trial in 1991 and made numerous pencil portraits of those who participated, primarily witnesses as they testified. Years later, McCall documented the neglected gardens just prior to demolition by its new land development owners. In spite of their different approach to recording history, their works share an irony in their documentation of a public spectacle of a premier on trial and its aftermath. |

| My Big Family, Hua Jin April 20 - June 10 | |
|
The work of Hua Jin explores issues relating to China’s one-child-per-family policy. Using photography and video, Jin documents and reflects on her personal experience as the first generation of ‘only’ child families and examines what this might mean for families, the community and the country. |
