🗣 We have completed the installation of Jaspal Birdi's work 11h02m, her first public artwork in Vancouver, and for Capture Photography Festival. See Birdi's 11h02m located at Lansdowne Station. It is one of two amazing artworks on the Canada Line stations presented by Richmond Art Gallery in partnership with the Capture Festival, City of Richmond Public Art and the Canada Line Public Art Program. ⭐️ JASPAL BIRDI 11h02m 🗓 April 1, 2023 - February 29, 2024 🌎 Lansdowne Station In 2020, Jaspal Birdi had been working on an art residency in Milan, Italy, when news of lockdowns began circulating. So she had to pursue her work in Toronto. Often working in both countries, Birdi is used to living in between places. The pandemic, however, put a twist on her otherwise mobile life. 11h02m was first shown in Birdi’s 2020 exhibition, Can I Play Outside. In this work, Birdi draws us back to this time of isolation, when she simultaneously felt a sense of helplessness and an elevated state of creativity, while struggling with feelings of confinement, longing, and hope. The sameness of looking at the sky every day gave Birdi a sense of separation from those she longed to be with. However, seeing the clouds move collectively also gave her a sense of being among a community and the hope that the world would move on from the crisis together. Presented in partnership with the Capture Festival, City of Richmond Public Art and the Canada Line Public Art Program. #capturephotofest2023 #publicart #canadianart #canadianartist #lensbasedart (at Lansdowne station (SkyTrain)) https://www.instagram.com/p/CqbUcaZOSXv/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Richmond Art Gallery and Richmond Public Art are proud to announce this year's participating artists in the Capture Photography Festival Canada Line exhibitions: Faune Ybarra (@faunestanaccount) and Jaspal Birdi (@birdiseyeview). Their lens-based works will be on view at the Aberdeen and Lansdowne Canada Line Stations, respectively, from April 1, 2023, to February 29, 2024. Meet the Artist: Jaspal Birdi (B.1988, Toronto) is a Canadian artist who combines photography and painting by experimenting with contemporary technologies. Birdi's (@birdiseyeview) interests explore how concepts of reality and virtuality influence accepted norms of freedom and security. Through programming, print, and paint, her practice filters and reconstructs a blurred cycle of virtual and physical actions. Birdi's large-scale work 11h02m will be exhibited at the Lansdowne Canada Line Station as part of this year's Capture Photography Festival. Birdi holds BFA in Drawing and Painting from OCAD University and a Masters in Arts Management from Istituto Europeo di Design. She also earned a Specialization in Curating Contemporary Art from the Venice School of Curatorial Studies. In 2020, Birdi presented Can I Play Outside?, a solo exhibition supported by the RBC Foundation Emerging Artist in Residence Program at the Robert McLaughlin Gallery and where 11h02m was first exhibited. Birdi was also the 2021/22 Artist in Residence at the Women's Art Association of Canada in Toronto. She is also the recipient of the 2013 Arte Laguna Solo Exhibition Prize, the 2017/18 Fondazione Bevilacqua La Masa (BLM) Artist Residency and BLM Stonefly Art Award, a 2020 Ontario Arts Council Project Grant, the 2020/21 Fondazione Culturale San Fedele Visual Arts Fellowship, and Martini International Award. We thank last year's participating artists Kyla Bourgh (@kyborgi) and Chad Wong (@chadmanwong). Their works, Objects given to my mom because she is Asian and Empty Spaces that Fill My Heart, are still on view at the Lansdowne and Aberdeen Stations until March 22nd.

🛶let me take you backwards and forwards🚤 This is a painting I did while in residence @bevilacqualamasa in 2017/18. It’s based on a photograph I captured of friends waiting for the Venice Night Line at the Rialto boat stop. If you’ve never stood in one of these stops, it may recall some sort of public transportation interior. Feel welcome to comment below what you may be seeing for yourself :) This piece was first exhibited at the end of residency group show at the BLM Gallery in Piazza San Marco, Venice. Later that year, it travelled to Berlin to be shown in Transferred Recall, a solo show. Next year, you may have the chance to see this work in-person again in Italy. 🫶🇮🇹✨ Artwork: 03h53m Oil Paint & Photo-transfer on Canvas 132 x 208cm Jaspal Birdi, 2018 . #painting #contemporarypainting #artistresidencies #torontoartist #oilpainting #jaspalbirdi #veniceitaly #venicepainting #venezia #amici #vaparetto #rialto #figurativeart #figurativepainting (at Ponte di Rialto - Venezia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CmXQnIaOuaD/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

👽happy halloween🎃 🙃this photo print is based on a funny coincidence back in 2020. There was a day I sent my friends a selfie from my studio using the puppy filter 🐶 later that same day I noticed the weeknd had also posted with the same filter. Weirdly it seemed like we were in on the same joke. #funnycoincidence #puppyfilter #happyhalloween #contemporaryphotography #glitchart #theweeknd (at Ｗｏｒｌｄ Ｗｉｄｅ Ｗｅｂ) https://www.instagram.com/p/CkZKma6L0tl/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

i n t h e m o o d t o o f a l l i n 🍃🍂🍃🍂 Here’s a photograph I captured + printed of an European horse-chestnut tree that used to grow in my courtyard in Milan. Living there, I missed seeing two things everyday, water & trees. So when I found an apartment with a tree and wild vines climbing up the building in the courtyard, it made me happy. Earlier this year, I passed by my old place, and saw the vines were gone, and tree wasn’t as full of life.. maybe it too got cut down. Here is a memory of that tree taken in October 2019. I loved how it would change its colours, and felt my camera at the time never captured the fire and acidity I saw in reality. Somehow my printer managed to capture the internal colours better than what some might miss to see. 🔥Last image is one I captured of a tiny, wildly acidic looking maple tree that reminded me of this memory.
