The Surrey Art Gallery is celebrating the first decade of UrbanScreen, an outdoor venue for new media art, with Art After Dark: 10 Years of UrbanScreen, a book that includes images and texts about every exhibition.
UrbanScreen was established after a group of artists doing a residency at the gallery's TechLab, a digital media production and presentation facility, realized new technologies would make it possible to project their work at a much larger scale.
Sylvia Grace Borda, M. Simon Levin, Dennis Rosenfeld and Jer Thorp imagined giving the public a large-scale, architectonic and interactive experience of their work.
The gallery responded by establishing UrbanScreen as a permanent venue that premiered as part of the Vancouver 2010 Cultural Olympiad. It continues to serve as the public art investment for the Chuck Bailey Recreation Centre.
Art After Dark: 10 Years of UrbanScreen is available as a free download on the city’s website at https://www.surrey.ca/culture-recreation/30364.aspx.
