Artist-Talk

From “The GINA Show”

With guest speaker Mark Oliver
“A Conversation with Mr. Dynamite”

It was 1980. A bunch of art school kids with video cameras talked their way into the James Brown concert at the Cave and got an interview with the music legend after the performance. Mark Oliver and James Brown talked about music, entertainment, media and satisfaction. The result became a special episode of the GINA Show. The talk at the Or Gallery will feature live commentary by Mark Oliver and footage that never made it on air.

The GINA Show is exhibited courtesy of the artists and the Morris and Helen Belkin Art Gallery at The University of British Columbia. Archival materials and works are courtesy of the Morris and Helen Belkin Art Gallery and VIVO Media Arts Centre. This exhibition is curated by Allison Collins, a candidate to the Masters Degree in Critical Curatorial Studies at The University of British Columbia, with support from the Killy Foundation and the Audain Endowment for Curatorial Studies through the Department of Art History, Visual Art and Theory in collaboration with the Morris and Helen Belkin Art Gallery at The University of British Columbia.
