“Even The Stars Seem To Change Their Position” 26 April – 23 May 2012 Even The Stars Seem To Change Their Position is a presentation of works by Vancouver-based artists Lyndl Hall and Erdem Taşdelen. Both artists, leading a practice in a concept-driven fashion, have realized works for this exhibition supported by Sanatorium in its former space, in the forms of drawing, video and sculpture installation based on the concept of time. Borrowed from Marcel Proust’s In Search of Lost Time, the title of the exhibition contextualizes the practice of Hall and Taşdelen in relation to the poetic, literal and metaphysical notions of time and how that determines and constructs, and ultimately frames an understanding of a particular position. Even The Stars Seem To Change Their Position is curated by Babak Golkar.

Lyndl Hall is a South African-born and Vancouver-based artist, exploring lines and line-makers as a means for constructing and navigating the spaces we inhabit. For this exhibition Hall will present four recently produced works including two sculptures, which are revisiting ancient tools of reading time and position: a modified sundial and an abstracted sextant. As well, she will be screening a looped video composed of old family footage, and displaying a print of all the latitudes and longitudes of the coast of British Columbia, based on Vancouver as the point of origin as opposed to Greenwich. Hall received a Bachelor of Fine Arts from Concordia University, Montreal, in 2006, and graduated with a Masters of Applied Arts in Visual Arts from Emily Carr University, Vancouver, in 2010. Hall has exhibited and published her work nationally and internationally; she has an upcoming solo exhibition at the Burnaby Art Gallery and will be artist in residence at DRAWInternational in Caylus, France, July 2012.  For more on Lyndl Hall’s works please visit: www.lyndlhall.com Erdem Taşdelen’s diverse approach to art making and post-conceptual practice is rooted in heavy research into literature and cultural theory. For this exhibition he will be presenting a series of five ink drawings, abstractly morphing a portrait of Marcel Proust into his own, as well as a looped video titled Time Regained. In addition, Taşdelen will be presenting a new sculptural installation: a plate containing porcelain cast madeleines. Taşdelen received his Bachelor of Arts in Visual Arts and Communication Design from Sabancı University in Istanbul in 2007, and his Masters of Applied Arts in Visual Arts from Emily Carr University in Vancouver in 2010. He is currently based in Vancouver and teaches at Emily Carr University. His work has been exhibited in Turkey and Canada, and his upcoming exhibitions include a solo show and artist book launch at 221A Artist Run Centre in Vancouver in May 2012.  For more on Erdem Taşdelen’s works please visit: www.erdemtasdelen.com Babak Golkar is a Vancouver-based artist and educator.
