Dreaming Nightmares

Show opens Thursday, April 30th at 4:30pm at the Fall Gallery, 644 Seymour Street, Vancouver.

“All men dream, but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds, wake in the day to find that it was vanity: but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act on their dreams with open eyes, to make them possible.”
– Thomas E Lawrence

For most, the hours round midnight are spent in quiet slumber. For some, the night means prowling city streets – spraypaint, stencils and posters in hand – slipping in and out of shadowed alleys as quietly as dreams slip from memory upon waking.

Dreaming Nightmares brings together street and stencil artists from around the world in the exploration of a common theme: the visions that appear to us while sleeping, whether pleasant or demonic or somewhere in between.

Artist list: APM (UK), Avian Security (UK), Biafra Inc. (USA), CTRL (NOR), Diskordia23 (GER), Human (USA), Indigo (CAN), Lament (USA), Mania (USA), Michael Frank/FMF (USA), Nasimo (BUL), Pahnl (UK), Qua (CH), RuSo (UK), Seldom (AUS), Seventenths (DK), SoreThumb (USA), ZeeZee (UK)

Show runs April 30-June 04, 3009.
Some of the artists will be in attendance. There may be live painting happening.
