SUMMARY:SF Ho Artist talk + Closing reception
DESCRIPTION:Exhibition \nSF Ho \nTRIPLE BURNER FLOWER FIELD \n15 January – 8 March 2025 \nWednesdays to Saturdays\, 1 – 5PM \nAdmission is free \nArtist Talk by SF Ho \nSaturday\, March 8\, 2025 \n5:30 PM – 6:30 PM \nNotably\, a Book Lover’s Emporium (454 Ward St. Nelson\, BC) \nSuggested donation: $5 – $20 per person \nClosing Reception \nSaturday\, March 8\, 2025 \n6:30 PM – 8:00 PM \nOxygen Art Centre (#3-320 Vernon St. (alleyway entrance)\, Nelson\, BC) \nAdmission is free \nOxygen Art Centre presents two events to commemorate the closing of SF Ho’s exhibition TRIPLE BURNER FLOWER FIELD. The exhibition has been on view at the artist-run centre since January 15\, 2025\, following Ho’s residency in November and December 2024. \nThe public are invited to attend an artist talk by SF Ho held at Notably\, a Book Lover’s Emporium at 454 Ward St. Nelson\, BC\, on Saturday\, March 8\, 2025\, at 5:30pm. Admission is a suggested donation of $5 – $20 per person at the door. \nThe artist talk will feature background on the Vancouver-based writer and artist’s practice and current research that led to the exhibition\, TRIPLE BURNER FLOWER FIELD. A slide presentation will accompany the talk. Topics will range from Traditional Chinese Medicine and plant cultivation and use in artistic practice\, to historical research into Chinese agrarian and cultural practices. \nFollowing the artist talk\, the public are invited to the artist-run centre along the alleyway for a Closing Reception celebration of Ho’s exhibition at 6:30 PM. Refreshments and light snacks will be provided. Admission to the closing reception is free. \nThe exhibition attends to the use of common plants while speaking to first-generation settlers about agriculture and medicine. By highlighting the spiritual and medicinal uses of tea\, yarrow\, poppy and mugwort\, the exhibition examines how life is separated into the categories of useful commodities or invasive weeds within the framework of global capitalism. \nTRIPLE BURNER FLOWER FIELD also includes archival and oral accounts of the role of the barefoot doctor during the Cultural Revolution\, the agricultural land defense movement in Hong Kong\, and the early Chinese market gardens of Nelson\, BC. Using emptiness and manifold duality as guiding principles\, art making becomes a kind of serious play that points to interdependence with land and beings while eschewing human supremacy. \nTRIPLE BURNER FLOWER FIELD is currently on view at Oxygen Art Centre from January 15\, 2025\, to March 8\, 2025\, on Wednesdays to Saturdays from 1:00pm to 5:00pm. \nSF Ho will be present in Nelson\, B.C.\, for the Artist Talk event at Notably (5:30 pm) and Closing Reception event at Oxygen Art Centre (6:30 pm) on Saturday\, March 8\, 2025. \nOxygen Art Centre is an artist-run centre located at #3-320 Vernon Street along the alleyway behind Baker Street. \nThis program is generously supported by the Canada Council for the Arts and the Regional District of Central Kootenay ReDi program. \nArtist Bio: \nSF Ho (they/them) is an artist\, writer and organizer. They have been living as an uninvited guest on the unceded territories of the xwməθkwəy̓ əm\, Sḵwx̱wú7mesh\, and səl̓ílwətaʔɬ peoples for over fourteen years. Operating somewhere between words and whatever words can’t be\, their work is informed by feminist methodologies\, land-based practices\, and grassroots community networks. Ho has presented their artwork and writing both regionally and internationally. They published a book about love and aliens called George\, the Parasite.
