May 7 to July 17, 2016
CAG presents the first major museum exhibition in Canada devoted to the well-respected German photographer Jochen Lempert. Trained as a biologist, Lempert photographs plants, animals and other natural phenomena with both scientific acumen and a poetic appreciation of natural beauty. His approach is scientific as well as humorous. Always working in black and white, his work engages with a diverse range of subjects and genres, ranging from everyday views to abstracted details.
The exhibition at CAG is generously supported by Institut für Auslandsbeziehungen e.V. and the Consulate General of the Federal Republic of Germany, Vancouver.
Organized by the Contemporary Art Gallery in collaboration with the Cincinnati Art Museum.
This exhibition is part of Capture Photography Festival.
Jérôme Havre

Off-site: Yaletown-Roundhouse Station, Canada Line
The Contemporary Art Gallery presents a new commission by
Jérôme Havre, the artist’s first project in Vancouver. Originally
from France, Havre’s work considers representation, circulation, transmission and translation of black identities, interrogating racialized stereotypes and ideologies projected onto bodies.
Part of the Capture Photography Festival’s nine station Canada Line public art installation, 'Lying Stills: Constructing Truth with Photography'.
Anchi Lin
'To the Shore'
May 7 to July 17, 2016
Events Room
In 2015, the Contemporary Art Gallery inaugurated a new
annual award for an emerging artist from SFU’s School for the
Contemporary Arts.
This spring we present To the Shore by 2015 award recipient
Anchi Lin, her first solo exhibition. In this single channel video
Lin enacts the sound of waves hitting a shoreline through the
simple act of sweeping. Rooted in recollection and memory of
place, the work playfully explores domestic routines drawing
attention to the meditative quality of action while the audience
and the performer transcend their physical reality.
John Wood and Paul Harrison
