The Nanaimo Art Gallery recently opened an exhibition titled Border X. The show ehibited works by Skaters and indiginous artists who express their relationship to the land and their cultural identity through skate/snowboarding. One such work even featured a video projection of a photoscanned model of an indigenous blanket. It was very impressive.
The work that this model is based on is a mini-ramp that was constructed inside a small section outside the main gallery space. So long as attendess book the space in advance, participants are free to us the ramp as they pleased, with skate boarding equipment provided by the gallery that are based on works in the show titled Colonialism Skateboards.
Despite using 372 images, the scan didn’t turn out as well as hoped, particularly in the middle. I’m still pleased that I can contribute to preserving this space, in my small way.
