X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html: <h4>Gwenessa Lam (BFA 2001)</h4><p>In the ser
 ies <em>Windows</em>\, Gwenessa Lam explores the notion of absence through 
 paintings of vacant windows and walls. The windowed wall is a liminal space
  between the interior and exterior. It suggests a potential to see\, to vis
 ualize the other side without physically entering into the space beyond the
  shutters or glass pane. This tension – between vision and knowledge\, disc
 losure and concealment – is central to the work. Their opacity inverts the 
 transparent\, revelatory function of windows\, operating more as empty scre
 ens and portals\, a means of surveillance or escape. The setting of the int
 erior situates notions of alienation and estrangement within the familiar a
 nd banal. Representations of the void\, in the guise of the blank window or
  the shadowed wall\, play upon the viewer’s desire to fill the void\, whils
 t never completely satisfying it.</p><p><em>Windows </em>is exhibiting June
  12 through July 25 with an opening reception on Thursday\, June 11\, 7-9 p
 m. Regular gallery hours are 11 am - 4 pm\, Thursday through Saturday\, and
  by appointment.</p><p>For more information please contact Pantea Haghighi 
 by phone at 604.632.1590 or by email at pantea@republicgallery.com.</p><p><
