Catalyst - Resurrect project

An artist in residence project and exhibition

In partnership with the Vancouver Arts Centre, City of Albany, Cleanaway and  Open Access Youth Art Studio. Creative Producer: Sue Codee

Resurrect was a Catalyst project funded in the March 2008 round.

This project explored the theme of recycling and environmental issues through an artist in residence program featuring Cecile Williams and Peter Keelan.  Both Cecile and Peter specialise in working with recycled materials.

The two week residency program was based in the Waste Education Centre at the Albany landfill site. Cecile and Peter worked in collaboration with Open Access artists Michael O'Doherty, Sandy O'Doherty and Saz Lockyer, as well as local artists, students and community members to create artworks, instruments and a soundscape around the theme of a Tip Temple.

Creative Director, Sue Codee created a short film to give a sense of the studio and the environment these art pieces were created in. 

An exhibtion was then held at the Vancouver Arts Centre with tunes from the musical instruments created during the residency including an exhaust pipe digeridoo and a guitar made from a pair of crutches and an old kitchen sink.

This was a Catalyst funded project in 2008.
