*April 27, 2020 – Vernon, BC:* The Vernon Public Art Gallery has continued
to engage and connect the public with the Arts during this unsure time, by
providing their education programming in an online format. Their online
programming continues on Thursday, April 30, 2020, as Andreas Rutkauskas
will be leading a lecture via Zoom as part of the Vernon Public Art
Gallery’s, UBCO Lecture Series.


During his lecture, Andreas will examine his past research which relies
principally on photography as an artistic medium, and focuses on landscapes
that have been effected by various types of technology. Cycles of
industrialization in Canada’s oil patch, the impact of internet-based
research on wilderness recreation, and the subtle technologies used to
monitor the Canada/US border are some of the subjects his projects have
focused on. Andreas will also introduce his current project on the subject
of wildfire in Western Canada. Over the past two years, he has been
investigating the ecological effects of forest fires, including the
mechanisms and procedures involved in various fire regimes. He hopes to
address questions on how to live cooperatively with fire in a cultural
context, through an aesthetic examination of the indelible marks that
wildfire and its control leave on the landscape.


“The gallery strives to continue to create connections and support the arts
and culture community in Vernon during this isolating time. We hope this
upcoming lecture will serve as another way for the community to feel
engaged and interact with the gallery and the arts” Dauna Kennedy,
Executive Director

The Vernon Public Art Gallery is a not-for-profit, charitable organization
committed to fostering an appreciation of the visual arts for all members
of the community. As the oldest art gallery in the Interior Region of
British Columbia, the VPAG has been an important part of cultural tourism,
and a centre for educational and cultural activities in the Okanagan for
60+ years. The VPAG is constantly growing and is currently looking forward
to its exciting transition into its larger facility at the new Cultural
Centre in Vernon. We hope to consistently develop and increase our funds to
allow us to promote visual arts in the broader community by presenting more
quality exhibitions, educational programs and annual community events.
