Vitality: Fred Herzog Photographs In and Around Chinatown
Curated by Carol Lee

April 5, 2025 - May 10, 2025

Equinox Gallery presents a solo exhibition of street photographs by Fred Herzog, chronicling  the street life of Vancouver’s Chinatown and surrounding neighbourhoods in the 1950s and 1960s. Guest-curated by Carol Lee, co-founder and Chair of the Vancouver Chinatown Foundation and committed advocate for the revitalization of Chinatown and the Downtown Eastside, the works in this exhibition highlight the area’s history of vibrant street life, businesses and social centres. As a champion of Chinatown’s resilience and with deep knowledge of its past, Lee’s engagement with Herzog’s photographs offers a renewed appreciation for his artistic vision while emphasizing the significant cultural heritage in our city.
The exhibition will be open to the public through May 10th. For more information or to request a list of available works, please contact the gallery at info@equinoxgallery.com

Maggee Day
Studio Interior

April 5, 2025 - May 3, 2025

Maggee Day's paintings capture the evolving experience of working in her Chinatown studio. Scattered paint cans, studio chairs, architectural details, and budding trees seen through her window find their way onto her canvases through a generative process that reveals unexpected angles and new ways of seeing. Working on multiple canvases at once, she allows each layer to dry over time, returning with fresh perspective. Through this gradual layering, her paintings offer shifting observations of the same space, creating a visual history of change—shadows stretching, objects rearranging, and light subtly transforming the perception of forms.

Angela Teng
Colourwork

March 12, 2025 - June 9, 2025

Equinox Gallery presents Angela Teng: Colourwork, a solo exhibition of paintings for the Pacific Gallery at the Fairmont Pacific Rim.
Teng (b. 1979) has been acknowledged nationwide for her experimentation with the medium of paint, particularly her works made by crocheting paint strings. After squeezing and drying lengths of different coloured paints into thin strips that approximate yarn, Teng uses a single hook to crochet the paint into rectangular and square compositions. Her works elicit a broad range of references, from the colourful, commonplace Afghan throw to the geometric abstraction of high modernism, all while implicating the artistic labour of women that has typically earned the distinction of "craft" rather than "art".

This is an off-site exhibition located at The Pacific Gallery in the Fairmont Pacific Rim.
Location of this exhibition:  Fairmont Pacific Rim 1038 Canada Place, Vancouver, BC fairmontpacificrim.com
