Entry/Exit: A Film Screening

Saturday, April 23, 2022, 4 – 6:30 PM PDT (prior to Cushions N' Coolers)

Centre A’s The Living Room is a unique exhibition-installation that transforms the gallery space into a furnished living room. By converting the gallery rooms into a (semi-)domestic area, the project aims to challenge and restructure the oftentimes unapproachable space of the contemporary art gallery.

The Living Room hopes to engage with the public in a valuable way by offering a comfortable and safe environment for reconnection and interaction after almost two years of isolation. For the duration of the project, Centre A will host various outreach events and community engagement programs, including, but not limited to, film screenings, recreational activities, and reading groups. All events will follow the COVID-19 public health and safety protocols.

As part of The Living Room, visitors are invited to come relax and watch a series of curated films and videos that will run continuously during the gallery’s operating hours. Centre A also encourages artists, collectives, and other community members or organizations with diverse backgrounds to submit films, video work, and moving images to be considered for screening.
