Join us in our studios for a seated conversation with artists Keith Langergraber and Donald Lawrence. Gain insight into the work of these two artists, and the ways that their artistic practices converge. The artists will talk about their common interest in the relationship between "wilderness” and culture, and reflect on romanticized narratives about the natural world.  
 
Keith Langergraber studied at the University of Victoria and the University of British Columbia, Vancouver, and teaches at the Emily Carr University of Art + Design in Vancouver. His work has been exhibited widely in Canada and abroad, including commissions by the Vancouver Art Gallery for its Offsite space in 2022, featured recently in a hardcover anthology. His work is held in numerous collections, including University of Lethbridge, Surrey Art Gallery, Burnaby Art Gallery and Vancouver Art Gallery.  

For almost forty years, Donald Lawrence’s interdisciplinary practice has included ambitious productions of major bodies of work that explore his longstanding interests in the intersections between art, science and technology, and concepts of wilderness. He has taught in the Visual Arts program at Thompson Rivers University, in Kamloops, BC for 35 years. The Kamloops Art Gallery presented a retrospective exhibition of Lawrence’s work at the gallery in 2020, and produced a monograph publication, Donald Lawrence: Casting the Eye Adrift in 2023.
