Curator-in-Residence Luis Jacob presented collaborations and exchange projects of four artists' groups working in Vancouver and Toronto during the 1970s: Image Bank, General Idea, Banal Beauty Inc., and the New York Corres Sponge Dance School of Vancouver. Produced in a wide variety of media, the artists' works explore new and marginal media, actual and virtual communities, the appropriation of mass culture imagery, and the intervention into existing social structures. The exhibition was scheduled to travel to Plug In ICA in Winnipeg in the spring 2004.
