EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR’S FOREWORD
The Vernon Public Art Gallery is eager to present the works of Brigitta Kocsis a Montreal based artist with a strong exhibition record both nationally and internationally. Born in Hungary, Kocsis pursued her education in the United Kingdom and Canada. This latest exhibition Kocsis focuses on figurative work depicting young adults in everyday situations. Our guest writer for this publication and overview of this exhibition titled #Techboyz is Dr. Michael Boyce, a Montreal based arts writer. Boyce has an interest in the social production of culture and is recognized as an author of two published novels and various submissions for artist catalogues. Curator Lubos Culen has also provided an introductory essay for this publication. I’d like to thank the Province of British Columbia, the BC Arts Council and the Regional District of the North Okanagan for their contributions to the operations of the Vernon Public Art Gallery and our programs. These funds are vital to the production of exhibitions such as #Techboyz for the enjoyment of our community. We hope you enjoy this publication and exhibition. See you at the VPAG, Dauna Kennedy Executive Director
