Event Details
Chester Fields is The Polygon Gallery’s teen outreach program. Every year, the gallery invites teens from across the Lower Mainland to create an original work of photographic art in response to a unique theme. Inspired by the current exhibition a Handful of Dust, this year’s theme Something In My Eye, challenges artists to think close to the camera’s lens and to experiment with ways of interrupting or changing the lens’s ability to view and capture its photographic subject.
The submissions were juried by Peppa Martin, curator and director of Truth and Beauty Gallery; Ian McGuffie, award-winning photographer and Head of Digital Photography at VanArts; and Birthe Piontek, acclaimed artist and faculty member at Emily Carr University of Art + Design.
The finalists of the 2019 Chester Fields Program are featured in an exhibition at The Polygon Gallery from April 6-21.
Please note: The exhibition will be closed on Tuesday, April 16 and Wednesday, April 17 for a private event.
The Polygon Gallery app features more content about this program including the theme, a closer look at the artists involved in a Handful of Dust for inspiration, the jury, and finalists. The app is free to download from the Apple Store and Google Play. From within the app, visit the menu and select “Chester Fields” from the Audio and More section.

Monday to Friday 9 am – 9 pm, Saturday 9 am – 5 pm, Sunday (Sept to June) 12 pm – 5 pmAs part of Capture Photography Festival, North Van Arts and North Vancouver District Public Library present: Finding My Father at Yongpyong, a series of works by Vancouver-based artist Taehoon Kim that capture a journey of personal and familial exploration through photography.“From 1974 to 1993, my father, Kwahn W. Kim, worked as the chief architect of Yongpyong Ski Resort: one of the host sites of the 2018 Winter Olympic Games.When it opened, Yongpyong was the first ski resort in South Korea, marking a turning point in history when everyday Koreans could afford leisure activities.When my father retired, our family immigrated to Canada. Although I knew Yongpyong was one of his great accomplishments, he didn’t talk about his work much, and I didn’t ask him about it either. He died in 2005 after a short battle with pancreatic cancer. The hardest part of mourning was realizing I had barely known him.When Pyeongchang was named host of the 2018 Winter Olympic Games, I went to see the resort I had heard so much about growing up. I wanted to learn more about him by spending time in the place where he had poured his heart and soul.I hope to capture his spirit, presence and legacy.”Taehoon KimTaehoon Kim is a visual storyteller based in Vancouver, B.C. His documentary and journalism work, in stills and in film, has earned recognition from Diversify Photo, Photo District News (PDN) and News Photographers Association of Canada (NPAC). His images have appeared on The Wall Street Journal, The Globe and Mail, Buzzfeed News and others. Kim currently works as the visual media specialist at Capilano University in North Vancouver, B.C. His client work focuses on nonfiction visual stories that showcase the impact of education and non-profit institutions.For more information about other exhibitions and events happening during the 2019 Capture Photography Festival, please visit: capturephotofest.comIf you would like to attend the Artist’s Reception on Thursday, April 11 from 6 – 8 pm, please rsvp to: george@northvanarts.ca or telephone 604-988-6844Time

Event Details
Sḵwx̱wú7mesh Nation Basketball: Photographs by Alana Paterson opens at The Polygon Gallery Saturday, April 13, produced in partnership with the Capture Photography Festival.
Over the past few years, BC-based photojournalist Alana Paterson has become deeply invested in issues of gender inequality and women’s civil liberties. Paterson’s recent works focus on women’s empowerment through sport, particularly young women at the beginning of their careers. Currently, women represent only 7% of sportspeople seen, heard, or read about in the media, and only 4% of sports coverage focuses primarily on women. Paterson’s images shed light on this disparity while celebrating women’s strength and resilience in a male-dominated field.
For her most recent project, Sḵwx̱wú7mesh Nation Basketball (2018), Paterson was invited to shoot the young women’s half of the Junior All Native Basketball Tournament (JANT), held in Vancouver in 2018. The tournament is made up of over 83 teams from 50 nations. JANT serves to empower its team members and reinforce that they are strong, resilient young people and talented athletes.
After working closely with the team over the past year, the artist has captured each team member’s energy, portraying them as direct, playful and fierce. Paterson’s images work to empower young Indigenous women, in light of the dark history of colonization and continuing racism. The project both captures a visual identity of Indigenous women through sport and revitalizes the sense of strength, perseverance, and passion for which Indigenous “Warrior Women” are renowned.
Images from Paterson’s series will also be on view at the Stadium-Chinatown Station on the Skytrain in Vancouver as part of the Capture Photography Festival, until 2020.

Event Details
For the past half a century, the Easter weekend has marked the date of one of the largest events for Pacific Northwest sailing. The Southern Straits Classic Race, hosted by the West Vancouver Yacht Club, offers sailors the unique opportunity to compete in an overnight distance race around Georgia Strait.
Now offering five different course length options, “Straits” provides a weekend of sailing to suit every experience. 2019 will mark the 51st running for this historic race and we are expecting over 100 boats (that’s over 800 sailors) to be on the Start Line jostling for position. Bring your camera!
Each year, the Race starts off Dundarave Pier at the bottom of 25th Street in West Vancouver with a family friendly festival-type atmosphere that offers those on the shore the opportunity to view the competitors up close as boats come within 50 feet of the Pier. Typically a crowd of several hundred people gather to see the Fleet off in conjunction with a Lions Pancake Breakfast, the West Vancouver Pops Band, Sponsor displays and of course, the much anticipated visit from the Easter Bunny.
Activities start on Friday, April 19, 2019 at 9:00 AM. We look forward to seeing you there!

Internationally known, LA-based artist Mona Kuhn is best known for her large-scale, atmospheric photographs of the human form. In this talk, Kuhn discusses her work included in The Polygon Gallery’s a Handful of Dust exhibition, as well as her latest artist book She Disappeared into Complete Silence (Steidl, 2019). Photographed at a golden modernist structure on the edge of Joshua Tree National Park, the series carefully balances architectural lines, light reflections, and a single figure against the backdrop of the Californian desert.
Mona Kuhn (b. 1969, São Paulo, Brazil) earned her BA from The Ohio State University, before studying at the San Francisco Art Institute. She is currently an independent scholar at The Getty Research Institute in Los Angeles. Six monographs of Kuhn’s work have been published with Steidl, and her latest publication, Bushes and Succulents (Stanley Barker Editions), will debut at Jeu de Paume in Paris, France. Her photographs have been exhibited at the Louvre Museum, Paris; Whitechapel Gallery, London; and the Leopold Museum, Vienna, and are held in major collections worldwide.
Kuhn’s talk will be followed by a book signing with the artist.
This event is organized in partnership with the 2019 Capture Photography Festival.
