LURED-

VANCOUVER, BC (OCTOBER 2012) ­­ Anchored in English Bay, half a world away
from home, cargo ships have now become an indelible part of Vancouver¹s

LURED presents the work of renowned contemporary artists Stan Douglas, Uriel
Orlow and Allan Sekula alongside Vancouver Maritime Museum objects and
archival material. Together they provide unique perspectives on the maritime
shipping industry ­­ its origins, consumer desire and the risks taken by the
Œinvisible¹ seafarers who work to meet those demands. LURED is a
collaborative exhibit between the Vancouver Maritime Museum and the Charles
H. Scott Gallery, Emily Carr University of Art and Design.
