    Sanbo Vol. 2 will be held at Gallery 881 in Strathcona on Wednesday, March 6, from 6:30 PM to 9:30 PM. This special event will be hosted alongside our talented artist friends Jeremy Jude Lee and Super Sensitive Studios, to celebrate their month-long exhibit at the gallery.

    With a limited $28 ticket, you'll get a drink (your choice of Cinco Tequila RTD or a non-alcoholic option), street snacks by Dicky's Dumps, and one of the last chances for a private viewing of "Where I'm From" by Jeremy Jude Lee and Megan Kwan. This beautiful collection of 55 prints contemplates belonging, lineage, and the nature of evolving dreams passed down through generations as children or grandchildren of immigrants.

    Partial ticket proceeds will be donated to Studio 101 by the Eastside Arts Society, a free arts program offered to youth from local inner-city schools. This program encourages creativity through workshops in different partner studios in the community.

    It's a casual and early evening with great conversation, inspiration, and time together — fuel for your mind, body, and soul. Come Sanbo with us; we've missed you!

    Special thanks to our Partners: Super Sensitive Studios, Jeremy Jude Lee, Sabrina Wong, Gallery 881, Printmaker Studio, Vancouver Art Walk, Cinco Drink Co., Dicky's Dumps, Sunrise Market, Sunrise Soya Foods.

  • Form, Purpose, and Design: A Musical Response to Corbusier

    Join us for this architecturally inspired musical concert at Gallery 881.

    MUSICIANS: Jack Campbell, Hank Bull, & John Brennan
    DATE: Thursday, April 25, 2024
    TIME: Doors open 6:30pm; Performance 7 - 8pm; Doors close 9pm
    LOCATION: Gallery 881, 881 East Hastings, Vancouver
    TICKETS: $30; Please present your receipt at the door

    This work is a piece of improvisational modern classical music composed and structured by Jack Campbell in response to the theories outlined by Le Corbusier in his notorious historical essay Five Points of Architecture. Despite being widely influential in structural, visual, and physical mediums, the work of Corbusier has been largely unnoticed and unsung in the musical field. This piece—divided into five movements, each based on a different “point”—reflect and interpret such theorizing in three ways: a) by directly modelling the compositional form of the piece after Corbusier’s structural theory b) by considering Corbusier’s thinking on public engagement and role within the sonic textures of the piece to enhance a modernist listening experience c) and socially reflects in tambour, rhythm, harmony, and musical colour the theoretical and technical principles behind the concept Corbusier mobilizes. This piece is an open form, event-based/graphically-notated score composed by Jack Campbell, and performed-by/improvised on by a trio of Jack Campbell, Hank Bull, and John Brennan.
