SUMMARY:Seeing the Mountains: Traditional Chinese Paintings by Jiangang Su
DESCRIPTION:Lipont Gallery once again teams up with Vancouver-based artist Jiangang Su to hold a Chinese painting and calligraphy exhibition in the summer of 2024\, providing audiences and collectors in the Greater Vancouver area with an opportunity to learn and collect traditional Chinese artworks. \n“Stone” is an important aesthetic object in Chinese traditional culture. Taihu stone is a stone with unique beauty. It is the beauty created by the uncanny workmanship of nature and contains the curious feelings of the literati. The phenomenon of appreciation of strange stones existed in the Wei\, Jin\, Southern and Northern Dynasties\, and the appreciation of strange stones reached a new climax in the Song Dynasty (960-1279 A.D.) To this day\, stone appreciation has always held an irreplaceable place in the hearts of literati. \nSeeing the Mountains is based on the theme of scholars admiring stones. The method of construction using brush and ink is expressed in the form of tea scroll hangings to create an elegant atmosphere in the study room. The calligraphy content of the exhibition includes a simple and square official script and an exquisite fan-shaped regular script that is full of Jiangnan literati feelings. \nJiangang Su is an artist of classical Chinese painting and calligraphy based in Vancouver. He is known for his gongbi-style paintings\, versatile calligraphy styles\, and seal carving. He studied in China under renowned maestro Yan Gongda from age thirteen. Besides being a dedicated artist\, Su is an avid art educator and collector of Chinese art. His artworks have been featured in numerous exhibitions\, charity auction events and media coverage in China and internationally. \nThe exhibition opens on Wednesday\, May 15th\, from 7:00pm to 9:00pm at Lipont Gallery\, 4211 No. 3 Road\, Richmond\, BC. \nThe exhibition opens from May 15th to June 6th\, 2024 Monday to Friday 10am to 5pm with extended hours to 8:00pm on Tuesdays. \nThis exhibition is part of the 2024 Explorasian Festival.

SUMMARY:Medicine
DESCRIPTION:Pi Theatre closes its 2023-2024 season with the Canadian premiere of Medicine from Friday\, June 14 to Sunday\, June 23\, 2024 at the Vancity Culture Lab (1895 Venables Street). \nMedicine is a heartbreaking\, yet hugely energizing and thrilling journey through one man’s troubled past.

Every year\, a couple of struggling local actors are hired to do “drama therapy” with John\, re-enacting bits and pieces of his life and trauma. Chaos ensues\, secrets come to light\, and John grapples with the question of whether anyone is even watching. \nWritten by multi-award-winning Irish playwright Enda Walsh (Once; Lazarus) and directed by Pi Theatre’s Richard Wolfe\, Medicine is smart\, funny\, and absurd. \nOpening Night: Friday\, June 14 at 8:00pm \nPreview: Thursday\, June 13 at 8:00pm \nPerformance Times: June 15\, 18\, 19\, 20\, 21\, & 22 at 8:00pm \nMatinees: June 15 & 22 at 4:00pm | June 16 & 23 at 2:00pm \nTickets: $38 at pitheatre.com \nVenue: Vancity Culture Lab (1895 Venables Street)

SUMMARY:MONATIK
DESCRIPTION:Renowned Ukrainian artist and creator of favorite compositions for millions of listeners worldwide\, MONATIK returns with a solo charitable tour named “ART Oborona” in Vancouver. The artist will present new compositions to his fans and revamped “repaired” versions of his legendary hits. \nFrom the onset of the war\, the artist and volunteer\, MONATIK\, has been actively involved in educational and volunteer activities\, collecting humanitarian aid for the Ukrainian Army\, Territorial Defense\, and Volunteers. Throughout the full-scale war\, MONATIK has successfully donated more than 1\,000\,000 euros to the needs of Ukraine and its people. Additionally\, the artist consistently performs concerts in the frontline zones for our military personnel\, educators\, doctors\, and volunteers. \nThis tour is not only a way to support the country through fundraising\, but also serves as a reminder to the entire world about the most severe terror of the 21st century happening in this country because MONATIK’s songs carry an important socio-educational mission.
