A
new immersive art exhibit called "Imagine Picasso" is now open in Vancouver. The ticketed show features hundreds of images showcasing the work of Pablo Picasso, and runs through Jan. 8, 2022 at the Vancouver Convention Centre. As is the increasingly popular new trend, "Imagine Picasso" invites us to step inside the artist's life by moving about a room filled with screens upon which the artwork is projected. The layout for Picasso plays on the artist's use of unexpected shapes, with angled islands of screens in the gallery room creating a few paths on which to wander and all sorts of close encounters with pieces of art shown on the screen.
You'll also be able to see a full layout wall showing all of the various works of art that are deployed in the immersive show - it's like stepping into the pages of a book or museum exhibit guide. The lively immersive
projection fills the space and offers so much to see and experience. At times the whole room is awash in a single pattern, while other times multiple pieces of art can be seen at different times. Vertical images can tower above,

OPINION
O
ne of B.C.’s most prominent COVID-19 deniers died last week, after exhibiting COVID-19-like symptoms. While the BC Coroners Service has yet to release the exact cause of Mak Parhar's death on Nov 4., 2021, it appears as though it may have been from an untreated case of COVID-19 - days before his death he noted he was medicating with Tylenol and Advil, then the day before he passed away he shared an online video where he said he had taken the unapproved anti-parasite drug Ivermectin. Parhar's story, as most Canadians know it, is that he ran a yoga studio in the Metro Vancouver community of North Delta. That facility got shut down after contravening COVID-19 protocols. Parhar then broke the Quarantine
Act after travelling and was involved in a court case around related charges. Many people know that he often called COVID-19 a "hoax" and that he liked to try to convince people that the earth is flat. B.C. Minister of Public Safety Mike Farnworth once called Parhar a "narcissistic, self-centred idiot," during an interview aired on Global News. In the two weeks leading up to his death, the "flat earther" was displaying classic COVID-19 symptoms, yet continued running errands while livestreaming his thoughts to the internet. Some of those thoughts were that "CONvid" (his word for COVID-19) is not real, so he couldn't possibly have it. What people don't know - or perhaps don't care to know - is

ne of Vancouver's most iconic little buildings is surviving and thriving, thanks to a pair of local business owners. Strathcona's former Vernon Drive Grocery at Vernon Dr. and E. Georgia St. has been transformed into Rise Up Marketplace. After more than a century (120 years to be exact), several businesses have come and gone at the location — including the John Craig Confectionary, way back in 1915. The building was listed for sale in February and there was speculation the historic site would finally meet its demise. That's where Rajesh Narine and Roger Collins come in. The co-owners of Cartems Donuts and Calabash Bistro, respectively, leased the property in the summer after the lot was purchased by a development firm. The duo has since converted the threeroom, 594 square-foot space

Search for covered skateboarding space continues
T
hree granite benches spent a weekend under the Cambie Bridge recently, giving skateboarders a chance to grind out of the rain while raising the ire of others. Now the benches are gone, removed by the same people who put them there before the city could haul them away. The city and the Vancouver Skateboard Coalition (VSC) held a pop-up event under the bridge on Saturday, Oct. 23. As part of the event, the VSC set up three granite benches along with some wooden obstacles, says VSC vice-president Michelle Pezel. The event drew many from Vancouver's skateboarding community, acting as a way to engage people with the survey being run right now to come up with a long-term plan. Pezel says the VSC opted to leave the benches in place as an experiment to see how long they would last. "That didn't work that well." While Pezel didn't hear any

complaints from neighbours, the Vancouver Biennale complained, as the underside of the bridge is being used for its Voxel Bridge installment. By the following Monday, Pezel was uncertain the benches would be allowed to stay much longer and called a crane truck to move them back into storage. "We took them out on our own because we were worried about them," she explains. The under-the-bridge experiment was a part of the VSC's long search for a covered area where the City of Vancouver would allow skateboarding. Now, with benches once again in storage, the search for a space continues. The area under the Cambie Bridge has been used for 20 years, but in an unofficial capacity. Pezel says the VSC could easily see that area being sanctioned, with a skate path going in next to the walkway. "It wouldn't be wild to put a little strip of
concrete," adds Pezel. Other areas have also been considered. "We've shown [the City] some other spaces," Pezel says. "Under the Granville Bridge, under the chandelier, we thought that'd be nice. Or down by Crab Park," she explains. "We just need covered space for people to ride their skateboards and stay dry." For now the benches, while fully paid for and usable, are in storage, waiting for a new home. Pezel worries that new skaters, who've picked up the activity during the pandemic, will lose interest with no dry place to practice during Vancouver's rainy months. "We're just looking for something in concrete," says Pezel. "Roof and lights, too." In the meantime, the city's survey on a long term skateboard plan remains open until Nov. 8. By Brendan Kergin

Seth Rogen offers to trade pot for Canucks Diwali jersey he Vancouver Canucks celebrated their fifth annual Diwali Night last Friday when they faced the Nashville Predators. As part of the festivities, the Canucks wore a special jersey designed by local South Asian artist Jag Nagra. The jersey transforms the Canucks logo into a Diwali icon, featuring Diwali iconography, such as a clay lamp, fireworks, lotus flower, and a mustard plant. "As a kid, especially during the playoff season, hockey was such a big part of my upbringing, so it's really cool that I'm here now, making art for the Canucks," said Nagra. "I wanted to create a colourful piece that was representative of our culture." The limited-edition jersey promises to be a hot ticket item and hard to come by. While apparel and merchandise featuring the artwork was available at the game, only a limited number of jerseys was made available. One of Vancouver's favourite sons wants one. Badly. Seth Rogen wants one of the Diwali Night jerseys so badly that he offered to trade pot for one of them. Sorry, that's a pot. That's

because, in addition to being an actor, comedian, writer, director, producer and cannabis connoisseur, Rogen is also an amateur potter. Okay, technically Rogen offered to trade a vase for a jersey but even more technically, a vase is a type of pot, as "pot" is used by potters for all sorts of different forms. The trade is a very generous offer on the part of Rogen. One of his vases went for $12,000 in an auction at the Vancouver Art Gallery in June. Rogen's belief that the jerseys will only be for sale in person is mistaken, however. The jerseys will instead be available for auction online via vanbase.ca. Presumably, Rogen could bid for one of the jerseys himself and save his vases for his own use. It looks like the Canucks, however, are going to take Rogen up on his offer.The team tweeted in response, “We love a good vase! A twitter deal too good to pass up, let's chat.” How could the Canucks resist? The Rogen-made vase could go on display at Rogers Arena and it would make for a great story. By Daniel Wagner

One such algorithm is called DeOldify, which was created by deep learning experts Jason Antic and Dana Kelley out of San Diego. It was built over two years, taking cues from millions of images.

Archives holdings and ran them through a similar colourizing app, and were met with mixed results. Some of the photos looked as if they hadn't been colourized at all, some were very obviously the wrong colours, yet others looked pretty decent. The ones you'll see here are the better samples. The quality is a far cry from images that are retouched by humans, but are still able to offer a more vibrant lens into our city's past than their original black and white versions could.

Column: Remembering ‘incomparable’ Indigenous leader Lillian Howard
L
illian Howard was many things to many people — a mother, grandmother, great grandmother, daughter, aunty, sister, cousin, friend and community leader.
The 70-year-old champion of Indigenous rights and culture was also gracious with the time she gave to people like me, who wanted to learn more about her life and what it was like to be an elder in Vancouver. We met five years ago on the rooftop deck of the Woodward’s building in the Downtown Eastside, where she lived in a suite with her daughters.
It was an educational, emotional few hours. Lillian was a survivor of the Christie residential school on Meares Island near Tofino. She was also a witness to and victim of domestic violence.
DAN TOULGOET
I recall it being a sunny afternoon, with the sounds of the street reverberating up to the bench we shared.
The details she shared were raw and horrifying. Counselling, therapy and treatment had helped, she said, noting that opening
up about such darkness in a cultural sensitivity training session that she and other Indigenous people led for Vancouver police officers
also assisted in the healing. But the hurt, as she said on that day, was still there. “It just takes work every day — every day it takes work,” Lillian said. “It’s a life-long process. I told myself I really don’t want to be a bitter old woman. I want to be able to have my children and grandchildren remember me as a loving, kind mother and grandmother.” And she was, by the accounts of her daughters posted on a fundraising page this week to help with funeral arrangements for their mother, who died Oct. 30 in hospital.

Chinatown Storytelling Centre opens
T Help us create anti-racism data legislation.
he country's first permanent cultural space aimed at celebrating the heritage of Chinese Canadians has been unveiled in Vancouver's historic Chinatown. The Vancouver Chinatown Foundation’s Chinatown Storytelling Centre at 168 E. Pender Street officially opened Nov. 6. The space presents the stories of early Chinese immigrants through displays and kiosks featuring archival short films. The new centre contains over 100 story contributions
from Chinese Canadians of all ages, social backgrounds, and immigration histories. "We hope that people come through this and they feel proud of their history; it is an important part of our Canadian history," explains Vancouver Chinatown Foundation chair Carol Lee. Highlights include an opportunity to create a digital postcard, an interactive pagoda-style phone booth, and an augmented reality app that enables users to experience the sights and sounds of Chinatown in the 20th century. "I think it will be a great
addition for people today and future generations of understanding the contribution that the Chinese Canadians have made, but as one example of many nationalities that have come from all over the world to make Canada the multicultural country it is today," says Lee. A gift shop, adjacent to the centre, sells an assortment of home goods, stationery, art, and jewellery. The Chinatown Storytelling Centre is open Thursdays to Mondays from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. By Thor Diakow

LILLIAN HOWARD CONTINUED FROM PAGE 11 Muchlaht woman.” The announcement of Lillian’s death on social media led to an outpouring of condolences and best wishes to her family. Police, politicians, community leaders and others, including the Union of B.C. Indian Chiefs, where Lillian worked for several years, shared in the grief. “UBCIC mourns the loss of Lillian, who leaves behind an incomparable legacy of hope and inspiration for those fighting to end systemic discrimination, and who was the pillar of her community — an endless source of wisdom, strength, and kindness,” the organization said in a news release. “We offer our deepest condolences to her beloved family, friends and community members.” City council last week also held a moment of silence to remember Lillian, who was an enthusiastic volunteer for several years with Vision Vancouver, the party that dominated city hall for a decade. Her resume included work as executive director of the

Aboriginal Policing Centre, as an Aboriginal support worker in Vancouver schools and staff member at the WISH drop-in centre for women. She also volunteered at the Aboriginal Front Door Society and was tied to a program at B.C. Women’s Hospital and Health Centre for Indigenous patients and families. Her activism was legendary, with she and a group of Indigenous women in the 1980s occupying the downtown Indian Affairs office for 28 days to protest inadequate housing, poor living conditions and poverty in B.C. A decade ago, she went on a 31-day hunger strike in
support of Attawapiskat Chief Theresa Spence’s hunger strike in Ottawa, whose protest was aimed at getting a meeting with then-prime minister Stephen Harper. As our conversation came to a close back on that day in 2016, Lillian was full of hope about the future for Indigenous people, despite the history of colonialism and continued racism present in everyday life. She said there was a real need to keep fighting for a better Vancouver, a better Canada. Lillian urged more Indigenous people to get involved with the broader community, to stand tall and be proud of who they are and what they can offer in relationships with non-native groups, diverse communities and political bodies. “You can make a difference,” she said. “Sometimes, it can take years. But I’m not doing this for me. It’s for my children and my grandchildren.” By Mike Howell

Vancouver Art Gallery unveils new building designs following historic $100M donation
T
he designs for an expansion to the Vancouver Artt Gallery Ar r were announced on Nov. 4 along with a transformational boost in fu f nding for the project wort r h $100 million. The donation was as announced by Michael Audain, the CEO of Polygon Homes, art rt collector and support r er and philanthropist. The donation itself l was as made through the Audain Foundation at a media event held at the VAG. The gift is the largest single cas ash gift to an art r gallery r in Canadian history r, according to the VAG. In its planning stages for more than 13 years, the VAG plans to move to a new site on the southern tw t o-thirds of the block bounded by Cambie, Dunsmuir, Beatty t and West Georgia streets – a project that las a t year was a estimated to be wort r h $355 million, when a $50 million endowment fu f nd is included. In exchange for being able to use the site, the city t required
that the VAG raise $100 million from the federal government and a second $50 million from the provincial government by spring 2015. No additional provincial or federal money has arrived for the project yet the deadline has been extended many times. The Audain Foundation gift follows an earlier gift of $40 million by the Chan Family Foundation to establish the Chan Centre for the Visual Ar Arts, and an initial investment of $50 million by the Province of British Columbia. The City t of Vancouver’s pledge to designate a city t -owned site is valued at over $100 million. In addition, $50 million has been pledged to date by individual donors and foundations. A thony Ki An K endl, CEO and Director at the VAG says he hopes to see shovels in the ground in 2022 with an open date in 2026. The estimated cost is $400 million with $160 million
still needed to be raised. The new location will include over 80,000 square feet of exh x ibition space, more than double the exi xisting space on Hornby Street according to a VAG releas ase. The space will include visible art r storage, a theatre, library r and research centre, art r ist stu t dios, accommodation for visiting art r ists, and a visual art r s preschool and daycare, situ t ated around a 40,000 square foot court rty t ard. The building will also house the Institu t te of Asian Ar Art r, a new Centre for Ar Art and Communication, and a
p u g n i w o h S
multi-purpose m ulti-purp r ose Indigenous Community t House. Renderings of the new building were unveiled for the first time at the event as well. Designed by Swiss architects Herzog & de Meuron along with Vancouver architects Perki k ns & Will, in consultation with Coast Salish art r ists, some context for the design choices was provided. “It is a very r symmetrical upright building which gives it really like a civic scale on West Georgia Boulevard and holds its own next to the tall residential towers around
iit,” t,” said Simon Demeuse, the principle architect from Herzog & de Meuron. “ e always felt that such a “W confident building needed a ski k n, a material, a facade which made it approachable and gives it detail and human scale.” That ski k n, which is currently still in development, is to represent and incorp r orate the weaving techniques of the Coas ast Salish people with wood and copper.
“It's actually horizontal copper bands that have different perforations that are actually weaving using some of the methods of the Indigenous artists,” Demeuse explained. The project is expected to create an estimated 3,000 construction jobs and 1,000 permanent jobs in the tourism sector, the VAG release states. By Brendan Kergin with reporting from BIV

he first four of a planned 23 art pieces have gone up around Vancouver as part of the city's Platforms: We Are Here, Live program. Pieces have been commissioned by the municipal government for placement around the city as a response to the pandemic.

"Platforms: We Are Here, Live commissioned 23 Vancouver-based and xwmə0kwəy̓əm (Musqueam),

“We’ve reviewed video clips posted online and have identified two agitators who incited the crowd, assaulted the police officers, and obstructed them as they were doing their jobs,” Cnst. Tania Visintin said at the time. Now charges have been laid against three individuals involved. “Thanks to tips from the public, we were able to identify these alleged agitators and arrest them,” says Visintin. “We presented the evidence to the BC Prosecution Service, which this week approved criminal charges.” Anthony King, 26, and 21-year-old Chas Verrier from North Vancouver have been charged with assaulting a police officer and obstructing a police officer. The third suspect, a youth, has been charged with assaulting a police officer and obstructing a police officer. VPD

n one Friday in June a swarm of angry beachgoers encircled two VPD officers making an arrest at English Bay beach. The scene quickly escalated leading to a search for the crowd's main aggressors. Five months later charges have been laid. At the time of the incident, VPD’s beach patrol officers were called to investigate a large fight and a possible assault involving 10 people at around 7 p.m. on June 18. As officers were trying to diffuse the situation and disperse the crowd, one man began causing a disturbance and refused to leave, resulting in his arrest. This arrest caused dozens of beachgoers to surround the police, making the situation extremely volatile, the VPD stated in a release. In the days following, the VPD launched a search for the suspects captured on video.

W
hen JeanMichel Turbide first decided to buy a boat as the COVID-19 pandemic swept the globe, with an idea to turn it into floating accommodation, people thought it was a crazy idea. But now he's the owner of a popular and unique Airbnb in the middle of False Creek. When you hear the words "40 foot long, twin diesel 'Cruise-A-Home,'" romantic, off-grid getaways in downtown Vancouver might not leap to mind. But Turbide has built just that. Renovating the interior and using things like solar panels to keep the noise down, it's a peaceful spot in the middle of a busy city. With a propane fire pit, patios (yes, plural), TV, Wifi, a full kitchen (including a fridge, stove, and oven) along with other amenities, it's a getaway within sight of some of Vancouver's most famous sites. Being anchored even a bit offshore there's some wildlife as well, with a local eagle, seals, and the occasional sea lion visiting the area. That adds to his favourite part of being aboard. "I think what I enjoy the most when I stay on the boat is the peacefulness it brings me even though I'm in the middle of the city," he says, noting he designed things to enhance that aspect. He wanted it to be more of an experience than a place to put your head at night. While it's been dubbed a love nest, he's had groups
of up to 10 sleep aboard (though they had to bring some extra sleeping gear; he has two beds set up and an air mattress on hand). Even though winter is coming he's not too concerned since he installed a new heating system. "There are not that many boats active like mine in the winter months," he says. "People are surprised by how warm and cozy it is." Turbide, who's stayed in lots of hotels because of work, took what he knew from accommodations around the world and put it into the boat. The short-term rental operator was a steward on WestJet when the pandemic hit, training to be a pilot. Both his job and education took a nose dive. Even though work stopped, school payments continued and he was considering returning to Quebec to live with his parents after eight years in B.C. "It was a really stressful situation at first," he says. "I went from flying for work and flying in my days off to nothing." That's when he decided to pursue an old idea. "I had the idea [for the rental] about a year prior to buying the boat," Turbide says. "I stopped telling people about it because I was tired of people trying to discourage me." So he decided to take his CERB and WestJet shares and go all-in on a somewhat downtrodden boat from Vancouver Island. Last year he had it towed over to the mainland and renovated the vessel into a floating cabin. "I had to gut everything,
it completely busted the budget," he says. "My family rescued me, and my friends. At that point, I was freaking out." It didn't help that nearly every authority had to come and check it out. "One day the fire department came on the boat; they got a call that the boat was on fire," Turbide says about one incident. "It was the fire pit, I was on board." When they realized it was all under control they told him the pit was illegal, but Turbide wasn't so sure. As a pilot in training, safety regulations were something he was keenly aware of. Because the Floating Love Nest is not a travelling love nest (it stays anchored at all times), he's allowed to have a propane fire pit. He had similar interactions with police, the city, and the coast guard, but the paperwork is in order. It looks like the stress and anxiety were worth it though. The Floating Love Nest launched in December and has been sitting around 90 per cent occupancy. While the price tag at $410 a night isn't cheap, Turbide says that it makes private time on the water more affordable, noting renting other, similar boats is much more expensive. One reason for the lower coast is the fact the 'nest' can't be taken for a joy ride. But Turbide notes, in his experience most yacht owners usually spend the majority of their time anchored in one spot, anyway. And False Creek has plenty to offer. "I honestly think you're getting a better experience

popular Vancouver diner is hosting an art show with one distinctly Canadian twist. Main Street's The Wallflower is proudly presenting an exhibition themed around beloved Canadian actor Rick Moranis until the end of November. Wallflower co-owner Heather Szilagyi is the artist behind the playful paintings. "It's out of pure love for him and everything he does, and hoping he comes back and does some more," she explains. Moranis was a member of the iconic

Canadian sketch comedy show SCTV in the early 1980s. He went on to star in such Hollywood blockbusters as Ghostbusters, Spaceballs, and Honey, I Shrunk the Kids. The actor stepped away from the spotlight in the late '90s to focus on family. He was the victim of an unprovoked assault in New York City last year but has since recovered. Moranis even recently popped up in an ad for Mint Mobile, alongside fellow Canadian Ryan Reynolds. He's also set to star in another Honey, I Shrunk the Kids sequel with Josh Gad.

Shooting will reportedly begin early next year. Some of Szilagyi's works in the show include "Moranisaurus Rix", "Rick Moranis Morissette", and "Dougs Playing Poker". She says people seem to be fascinated by the actor's indelible mark on pop culture. "I always feel like he's Canada's Tom Hanks; everybody loves him, he can't do any wrong."
