Countercultures Forum

This afternoon, between noon and 5PM, Presentation House Gallery will host Countercultures Forum at Satellite Gallery. Mainstreeters: Talking Advantage, 1972-1982 co-curators Allison Collins and yours truly are among the presenters.

Pictured above is Theodore Roszak, the scholar who coined the term "counterculture" in his book The Making of a Counter Culture: Reflections on the Technocratic Society & Its Youthful Opposition (1969).

Not sure when this photo was taken. It might have been when Roszak taught at the University of British Columbia.

Opening Night

For Mainstreeters Jeanette Reinhardt, Annastacia McDonald, Carol Hackett and Deborah Fong, S.S. also stood for "sewing and swimming" dates.

Mainstreeters: Taking Advantage 1972-1982

This Monday, amidst the bustle of Christmas shopping, co-curator Allison Collins and I take possession of Satellite Gallery (560 Seymour, upstairs), where we will begin the installation of Mainstreeters: Talking Advantage 1972-1982, an exhibition we have worked on for the past year-and-a-half.
