The Shadow Line Gang are back! Virginia Frazer, Laure Elaine, Marc and Chris from The Vampire Bats and artist, Ronan Boyle transform the Waldorf Hideaway room into a glorious Gothic Wonderland! An evening of dark Post-Punk gems and 80′s Goth Classics make up the most authentically subterranean soundtrack to BLAST OFF since the Bat Cave first rattled our cages all those years ago. The Shadow Line endeavours to meticulously recapture the atmosphere and detail of the 80′s underground subculture, so that the dark romantic trapped in us all may be free to bloom… in other words we get drunk and dance around to Alien Sex Fiend. Release the Bats!

Doors at 9pm
Admission is $8

Black & Yellow Gallery is pleased to present PAINTING200, a solo exhibition by Graham Landin. Mediating between an epidemic of fluctuating shapes and contingent forms, Vancouver based artist Graham Landin executes a new body of work that posits the idiosyncrasy of human desire to improve oneself. Landin examines the relationship one has with familiar imagery that has been reprocessed and manipulated digitally, often involving such processes to imitate his own premeditated compositions.

The plurality of his works presents an innate sense of urgency that undermines its own monumentalization. Borrowing references from internet memes and the signs we experience daily, PAINTING200: actualizes a discursive visual dialect that amalgamates a poetic humor driven by both the internet’s unique semiotic language and the individual that exists outside of it.

Born in 1982, Graham Landin has lived and worked in various locations across North America. He currently resides in Vancouver where he is working on his bachelor’s degree at Emily Carr University.
