The Vancouver Art Gallery at the
moment has a brilliant modern art
show that runs until March 23. Berlin
Notes [Berliner Autzeichrunger] is an

ttempt to illustrate current ‘‘going
ns’’ in Berlin. Transferred Impress-
ions is concerned with collages as
xpression. And finally, C. Dikeakos’
work is involved with myths, Greek
land Roman gods and the use of
imodern designs.

R.Rauschenberg and C. Twombly’s
Tranferred Impressions are concerned
With surface, gestures, and collage
use. Twombly brings writing into the
pais and drawings, and uses
references to Greek history, literature
land philosophy.

Twombly starts his art off with line
land body gestures, and adds inner
images and poetic imagination.

Raushcenberg starts with everyday
images (e.g. buckets, cars) and uses
he mass media to interpret the
metropolitan world. One of his works
is Natural History, Part 1, Mushrooms

hich shows a mushroom’s magical
land poetic charms.

Christos Dikeakos used during the

’s collages to make political com-

 

ments. His early projects dealt with:
sex, war and how data is presented by:
the ‘media. He was active in Van
couver’s anti-art movement based on:
Dada’s artists of the 20’s. :

His recent works of the mid 70’s are
large hand-painted photos based on:
collages. The basic theme throughout
his art is Icarus (Greek legend—son of:
the inventor Daedalus. To flee the
labyrinth of Crete where they were
held: captive, Daedalus made wings:
for himself and son. The son flew too.
close to the sun and dropped to the
sea to die.) One of his works incorpor-
ates Medusa to produce mystery and:
a feeling of the sacred. All through
his work runs the meaning that our
world with war, technology, etc. has
become amiss because it will not see
the sacred. :

C. Dikeakos has his show until
March 16, 1986. Tranferred Images.
runs until March 23 and Berlin Notes:
has no given date. All are showing at:
Vancouver Art Gallery, 750 Hornby.
