This summer the Belkin Satellite has been pleased to host a residency for Vancouver artists Gareth Moore and Jacob Gl eeson who have worked on re-interpreting their collaborative project St. Ge orge Marsh.
Establish ed in June 2005\, and named for the street on which is it was located—in an area that was once swampland—St. George Marsh was a storefront commercial venture in a residential area. The store featured a diverse collection of i tems for both sale and display\, and was in a constant state of flux as mat erials were amassed\, reconfigured and dispersed. It included\, among other things\, a video rental department/shelf\, a candy section\, a garden stoc ked with clippings of plants\, a book store and library\, a grocery departm ent\, and a small gallery. By combining art and museological oddities with ingestible goods\, Gleeson and Moore were interested in confusing the roles of these objects.
