Description
Or Gallery is a non-profit artist-run centre that was initiated as a project space by Vancouver artist Laiwan in April 1983 and was first located at 1729 Franklin Street. Through collaboration of a small group of artists that included Arni Haraldsson, Petra Watson, Lori Hinton, Michelle Normoyle, and Ken Lum, the gallery was incorporated as the Or Gallery Society. With an artist-member board in place, the gallery invited artists to undertake the role of curator, blurring the line between such roles. The gallery supports emerging, conceptual, and experimental art practices by interspersing exhibitions of local, national, and international artists.
