On Monday, May 12, 2008 a major earthquake, measuring 7.9 on the Richter scale, rocked southwestern China's Sichuan Province. The tremors were felt as far as Wuhan, Shanghai and Beijing. Hundreds of aftershocks followed in the same area. The quake destroyed thousands buildings, as well as infrastructure like communication networks and electrical towers. As of June 4th, 69,122 dead, 17,991 missing, 373,606 injured, 45,690,000 victimized, and more than 11 million people displaced. Many homes, schools and businesses were destroyed. This earthquake is the worst natural disaster to hit China in 30 years.

This event is a humanitarian contribution from the Vancouver art community to those who are suffering from the terrible disaster in Sichuan, China. Featuring a diverse and spectacular group of Canadian and international artists, including Eric Metcalfe, Hank Bull, Randy Gledhill, David Khang, Xu Bing, and Ding Yi, with more than 30 contemporary art works, incorperated into Centre A's current exhibition Showroom, the auction is so far the biggest China earthquake relief event in Vancouver. A sneak preview of the art work is available online at http://2008may12.blogspot.com. Internet bidding is also accepted for those who cannot attend.

中国地震赈灾募捐静默拍卖
2008年6月20日星期五，晚7时至10时
Centre A, 2 West Hastings St., Vancouver, Canada
晚6时半开始入场。入口设募捐箱。

截止6月4日，69,122人死亡，17,991人失踪，373,606人受伤，45,690,000万人受灾，11,000,000人无家可归。

2008年5月12日在中国四川省发生里氏八级特大地震，数千公里外的武汉、北京和上海均有强烈震感。此后数天，同一地区，又遭受了上千次余震。地震摧毁了成千上万房屋、城市和乡村基础设施、交通系统和电网。无数家庭、学校和商业设施被彻底摧毁。这是中国三十年来造成损失最为惨重的地震灾害。

我们即将举办的这场地震赈灾拍卖会，是由温哥华艺术界组织的一次人道主义募捐活动，旨在帮助那些此刻依然正在痛苦中挣扎的中国地震灾民。此次活动汇集了加拿大和国际上知名的视觉艺术家，如Hank Bull、Randy Gledhill，David Khang，徐冰和丁乙以及他们的30余件现代艺术作品。它将是目前为止British Columbia省规模最大的赈灾募捐活动。拍卖活动的收入将如数全部捐献给加拿大红十字会以供赈灾之用。

参加拍卖之艺术品的图片资料提前在拍卖会的网站 http://2008may12.blogspot.com 上预览。不能亲临现场的人士，亦可通过网络竞价的方式参与拍卖。

此次活动入场完全免费。将有募捐箱设于入口处，以便与会人士向地震灾民表达爱心。

Yaohua Zheng was born in Shanghai, China in 1962. He studied Chinese language at Shanghai Normal University where he received his Bachelor's degree in 1985. He has been working and living in New York City since 2003. Zheng's work has been focused on urban landscape; however, he has never considered this characteristic to be negative.

After spending a year in New York, 2004, four photographs from Zheng's Under Manhattan Bridge were selected to be included in a publication 28 MM: OFFLINE. In 2006, he was awarded first place honor in QMA Seven Train Photo Contest hosted by the Queens Museum of Art (New York). In November 2007, his latest photographic project On Their Sites: Nobody's History, which is paralleled to Joel Sternfeld's On This Site, was shown for the first time in a group exhibition Intimate Distance in New York. Zheng's contemplation of mundane things and average individuals spark his work.

Eric Metcalfe wins GG Arts Award
By KEVIN GRIFFIN
Vancouver Sun

The Vancouver artist once widely known as Dr. Brute is one of eight winners of the 2008 Governor General's Awards in Visual Arts.

The Canada Council for the Arts announced Tuesday that Eric Metcalfe, an avant-garde artist and a founder of the artist-run Western Front, will be presented with a Governor General's Award at a ceremony at Rideau Hall in Ottawa on Friday.

Award recipients receive a $25,000 prize along with original artworks created by furniture maker and designer Peter Fleming.

Other visual arts award winners are Kenojuak Ashevak, Serge Giguère, Michel Goulet, Alex Janvier, and Tanya Mars. Chantal Gilbert won the Saidye Bronfman Award for excellence in the fine crafts and Shirley Thomson won the outstanding contribution award for her work as a cultural administrator, gallery director and arts advocate.

Metcalfe, contacted in his hotel room at the Chateau Laurier in Ottawa, said he was completely surprised when he got the call telling him he'd been selected. The hardest part was keeping it secret for six months.

"I was really delighted when I got the call from the Canada Council saying 'Eric you got the CC award,'" said Metcalfe, 67. "It's quite an honour."

Metcalfe has had a run of good luck with awards recently. In 2006, Metcalfe won the Audain Prize, a lifetime achievement award that also included a cheque for $25,000.

"I haven't done too badly in the last couple of years with these cheques."
Known by his alter ego Dr. Brute in the 1970s, Metcalfe created numerous leopard-spotted works and objects, including tubes of toothpaste and musical instruments such as saxophones. A non-commercial artist, he's worked in various media including painting, drawing, sculpture, installation, printmaking, performance, video and film. He's taught at Emily Carr Institute of Art and Design and at the University of B.C. as a visiting artist. He has had work shown at the National Gallery, the Vancouver Art Gallery, the Museum of Modern Art and the Whitney Museum of American Art.

Metcalfe thanked the Canada Council for supporting experimental artists like him over the years.
"My generation of artists benefited from the Canada Council," he said.
"We were doing all this experimental work that would never have gotten support from anywhere else."
Metcalfe said the national support from the council allowed him and other local artists to create alternate personas such as Dr. Brute, Mr. Peanut, Miss General Idea and Flakey Rosehips and an experimental art centre such as the Western Front.

"We're very lucky with the Canada Council."
Metcalfe's most recent work is Laura, a collaborative work with several other artists that explores his interest in film noir, the genre that had its heyday from the mid-'40s to the mid-'50s. It was shown in Vancouver at Artspeak in 2004.

An exhibition of the works of all the 2008 Governor General's visual arts winners runs from Friday, March 28 to Sunday, June 15 at the National Gallery.

The Governor General's Awards in Visual and Media Arts, funded and administered by the Canada Council for the Arts, were created in June, 1999 and presented for the first time in March, 2000. The awards recognize distinguished career achievement in the visual and media arts by Canadian artists.
