"An uncultured failure of basic syntax that offends both the artistic eye and the grammatical soul".

Sointula Forever
Sointula Forever revisits the island’s historic utopian aspirations through a shifting video feedback loop. This "hall of mirrors" effect—created by a transfer station salvaged 1970s colour TV and a Hi-8 video camera—generates a field of light where the image is captured and reflected in a dream-like memory.
At the center of this analog video feed is a wooden cutout of Malcolm Island, originally crafted by good neighbour Barb. It serves as the anchor for chromatic color bursts, diffusing into oversaturated blues, greens, and reds or pastel yellow/greens, blues & pinks depending on the time of day and available ambient light. The installation leans into the 80s, connecting the local comfort of gas bar rotisserie hot-dogs to low-resolution scan lines and "Sointula engineering"—where the infinite loop is propped up by a recycled turntable, a cake pan, log rounds, a scrap cabinet, and a broken fridge. The title is meant to carry a sense of lifelong commitment to the island, not unlike a permanent forearm tattoo, proclaiming Sointula as a beautiful, persistent dream of perpetual renewal and harmony.
When: April 1st - 7th. Viewable from the sidewalk in front of the Sointula Art Shed until the lights go out at 10:00 PM.

Doing&Doing Fine Art is dedicated to showing artwork and promoting sales for artists from across disciplines, creative cultures, backgrounds, geographies, and levels of experience.
doing.and.doing Anna Kasko and Dan Siney invite you to celebrate the launch of their new collaborative project based out of Kasko Frame Works @kaskoframeworks
Saturday, May 17, 4:00–8:00 PM
560 Clark Drive, Vancouver
Join us for the opening exhibition Scorpion Tongue, featuring works from our new artist roster.
Kasko Frame Works is generously hosting Doing&Doing Fine Art, supporting its mission to promote creative expression as essential to cultural health. In our experimental model, works by participating artists will rotate through Kasko Gallery @kasko_gallery , located at the front of the framing shop. Some artists’ displays will open with public exhibitions, while others will be promoted online only.
Kasko Frame Works plays an integral role in Vancouver’s art community, serving collectors, casual buyers, galleries, museums, and art fairs. 65% of artwork sales go to the artists. Anna and Dan share the remaining proceeds: Anna donates her share to local causes, while Dan reinvests his into Doing&Doing’s mission.
As practicing artists themselves, Anna and Dan are committed to meeting artists wherever they’re at— both creatively and personally.
We’re excited to support one another and help foster creative culture in Vancouver.
