Derek von Essen makes a Splash in the Vancouver art industry- and in Beijing!

Posted on Wednesday, April 16th, 2008 by isabellaegangallery

The second installment of Derek von Essen’s video series Horizons +
Intersections has been selected to show at Beijing’s Today Art Museum as
part of the 2008 Olympics cultural program from June 6-28. The World One
Minute expo will fill the entire museum and consist of films from 90
countries with 18 from Canada. Afterwards, the exhibition will travel to art
spaces worldwide.

Derek’s photos of the St Louis Cemetery in New Orleans grace the cover of
Pamela Stewart’s new book Elysium (Anvil Press), due to hit the stands later
this month. A few other photo and design projects with Anvil Press are in
the works. Derek’s work can also be seen in Arts Umbrella’s Splash Art
Auction happening this fall, with a preview exhibition at the Pendulum
Gallery.
