Eco-process Open Studio with Artist-in-residence Rea Saxena.
Thursday, August 27, 2pm to 7pm.
At the Blue Cabin, 1905 Ogden Avenue, Vancouver.
You’re invited to check out what Rea Saxena has been working on during their Eco-process Artist Residency at the Blue Cabin! Drop in anytime from 2pm to 7pm.
Rea’s media-based practice pairs hand-processed, disruptive analogue filmmaking techniques with rhythmic editing for projection and spatial media experiences. Over the course of this residency, Rea has been working with mentor Morgan Sears-Williams on eco-processing techniques such as lumen printing and phytogram, as well as experimenting with projection mapping and film installation.
The Blue Cabin is currently moored at Heritage Harbour, directly below the Vancouver Maritime Museum. There is a gangway to the dock, which can be steep depending on tides. To reach the Blue Cabin barge from the docks, a large step or small jump is required from the dock to the platform. There are handrails around the perimeter of the barge. The cabin studio space is accessed via seven 7″ high stairs with a handrail, one 6″ step and a 29″ doorway. The Blue Cabin is unfortunately currently not wheelchair accessible.
