        **/Taking a Deep Breath:/* a panel discussion with four of the
        artists in the exhibition.
        Tuesday November 17, 7pm. Room 1600 SFU Vancouver, 515 W.
        Hastings Street.

        This eight-person exhibition takes the pulse of B.C. figurative,
        narrative painting depicting moments of calm, leisure and
        relaxation. The show is about slowing down and chilling out.
        That's what these eight artists have done - made work that is
        lost in time somewhere between the past and the present, between
        leisure and culture, and in one case very much between death and
        life. Is slowing down, 'taking our time', the only way to save
        British Columbia from itself?  

        Taken as a whole, this exhibition posits a partial theory of
        leisure: Ron den Daas and Rebecca Brewer are at the beach;
        Heather Passmore's people have had too much of life; one of
        Colleen Heslin's characters is reading J.D. Salinger; Damian
        Moppett's working on his toe nails; Neil Wedman's people are
        taking time for a dance; Ben Reeves' for a smoke; and Gary
        Pearson's for a glass of wine.  Curated by Bill Jeffries.

        SFU Gallery, Burnaby Campus, Room AQ 3004.
