Kamloops Art Gallery presents the 6th iteration of Luminocity!
With projects that range from narrative storytelling, interactive experience, experimental film, and animation, Luminocity shares the magic of the moving image and acts as a portal to urban transformation.
This FREE outdoor video art exhibition showcases projects by artists from around the world in unexpected public spaces throughout the downtown core of Kamloops. As an off-site Kamloops Art Gallery initiative, Luminocity embraces new creative concepts and modes of expression in media art, bringing art from the gallery setting to the outdoors.
Every two years Luminocity presents artworks that respond to the current state of the world through diverse artistic perspectives. Viewed outdoors, at night, during the shortest days of the year, Luminocity illuminates the city, offering insight into the world around us through artworks that open up networks of cultural exchange and transport us to other realms.
This year, the curatorial framework centres on the theme of transformation in all its complexities and possibilities. To transform evokes metamorphosis—the wonder of a caterpillar emerging from a cocoon and shapeshifting into a butterfly—this natural phenomenon is a reminder of how change can be thrilling and remarkable. While the uncertainty that comes with change can be uncomfortable and scary, change is constant and inevitable. It can be a shift in mindset, passing through from one understanding of reality to another. It can manifest as systems and phenomena in flux. It can be a dramatic departure and appear as a catastrophic fracture or cessation. Change can also look like renewal and resilience.
The selection of artworks shared in this year’s Luminocity allude to transformation in different ways. Artists this year include:
Parastoo Anoushahpour, Faraz Anoushahpour, and Ryan Ferko
gabi dao
Chun Hua Catherine Dong
Casey Koyczan
Claudia Larcher
Andrew Yong Hoon Lee
Khan Lee
Tanya Lukin Linklater (with Ivanie Aubin-Malo, Ceinwen Gobert, and Neven Lochhead)
Carol Sawyer
Charles Stankievech
Leila Zelli (with Gali Blay)
For information on each artwork go to www.luminocity.ca.
Each project offers moments of enchantment and an opportunity to bear witness to an artist’s view of our rapidly changing world. Luminocity is an invitation to extraordinary encounters with art throughout downtown Kamloops for all ages.
Luminocity is curated by Charo Neville and made possible with the generous support of the Audain Foundation, Jane Irwin and Ross Hill, the City of Kamloops, the Canada Council for the Arts, the Province of British Columbia through the British Columbia Arts Council, GK Sound, and Kamloops Art Gallery donors.
