The Belkin Gallery presents a solo exhibition of paintings by Vancouver artist Mina Totino. Totino first exhibited in Vancouver in the 1980s and was included in the Vancouver Art Gallery’s 1985 Young Romantics exhibition. She has since exhibited in Glasgow, Berlin and Toronto.
[more]In the late 1960s, buoyed by his phenomenal success as an avant-garde filmmaker in Italy, Michelangelo Antonioni was invited to shoot a feature length film in Hollywood. The result was released in 1970. Zabriskie Point began as a commercial failure and a target of harsh criticism in the United States. At issue was the film’s lack of narrative focus and its verité accounts of the mounting civil unrest on American campuses, all in marked defiance of California boosters who were eager to placate the increasing political tensions that threatened speculative profits. Zabriskie Point concludes with a famous scene that dwells on the destruction of a designer oasis in the California desert. A series of enigmatic, slow motion explosions endure for the entire length of Pink Floyd’s background track "Careful with that Axe, Eugene." In 1999, Vancouver-based artist Mina Totino completed a series of painting studies based on these final scenes of fire, smoke, floating appliances and up-scale commodities bound for cathartic destruction. The Belkin Satellite is pleased to present the first full exhibition of this body of work in Vancouver.
