Chris Bose and David McIntosh, retrace their separate trajectories
through the streets of the city. Their memories, reanimated wraiths and
the spirits imbibed are recorded in a series of twelve stories and
accompanying maps. Installed in the gallery, these reports and
boundaries document their embodied experiences of Vancouver. Afternoon
guided city tours, late night improvised art salons and witching hour
solos, will enable guest artists, citizens and visitors to respond,
react or ignore the reflected world of Bose and McIntosh. Bring your
ghosts, bring your body, have a drink and take your chances. Join the
conversation about this city, your place, our past and its spirits -
both the ones that stubbornly linger, and the ones that enable
forgetting.
