Jordan Strom — Verging on the Visible: Recent Art From Surrey and its Proximities

Jordan Strom, curator of exhibitions and collections at the Surrey Art Gallery, draws from several recent Surrey Art Gallery exhibitions including Beyond Vague Terrain: The City and the Serial Image (2012) & Scenes of Selves, Occasions for Ruses (2012) and Figuring Ground (2013) in this presentation. He examines select artworks that engage with the Canadian ‘edge city’ condition and situate a number of key artistic strategies—and the relative invisibility of ‘edge city’ cultural production—within both the Vancouver and international art contexts.
