Unit /Pitt Gallery: Whatever This Is It Won’t Last Long.
Vancouver galleries are kinda like Vancouver condos: teeny-tiny and popping up all over in the strangest places.
Whatever This Is It Won’t Last Long is a “pre-apocalyptic sale” installation by Brad Allen, Scott Kemp and Gregory Ligen, Curated by Zebulon Zang. (which is the greatest name I’ve come across in recent memory. Kudos! )
It took everything inside me not to stick my debit card in there to see what would happen. But that’s just me.
Considering Kanye West’s 160$ plain white tee was sold out I was surprised the 5 by 10 foot space was nearly empty. But I have been told I can really “fill a room.”
Unit/Pitt (Formerly the Helen Pitt) is located 236 East Pender Street, Vancouver B.C.
Whatever This Is It Won’t Last Long is currently showing July 13-August 17 2013

Vancouver’s Street Art Goes Indoors. It’s still COLD!
Ken opened his street-level Art studio
between the Bean Around the World coffee shop and Cathay Herbal on Gore in Chinatown where Red Star Vegetable, Fruit & Meat Co. used to be. Right off the Adanac Bike route, for you healthy people. Open since March 1st, this working Art studio and Gallery doesn’t lose the street feel as the glass doors open right up to the shopping bustle of Gore Avenue.
“The Highest reward for a person’s toil is not what they get for it bit what they become by it.”
Visitors are invited to take photos, sharpie your fresheshest tag or leave quotes in a drop-box that will later be stenciled onto the wall floor or ceiling. There’s also a section for local artists to show their art. My favorite quote I learned from my Mom: “If you’re looking for Sympathy, it’s in the dictionary between Sweat and Syphillis.”
751 Gore Avenue is an old-school blast of colour and imagery. I’m going back to Beta.
Sock Monkey! Visit 751 Gore Avenue. Congrats and thanks to Ken!
p.s. Ken has a blog that he needs to update here.
