Municipality of the department of Sacatepéquez, is known internationally for its celebration on November 1, in which giant kites are raised on the Day of the Dead to maintain contact with the deceased and ward off evil spirits. The Sumpango Kite Festival is of vital importance to Guatemala, and the Panamanian artist Humberto Vélez decided to work closely with this community, to place Sumpango as an artist of the 21st Biennial.
For the Biennial, traditional activities will be presented at a collective festival, which represent the Sumpango community.
Surrey Art Gallery
To mark the past 20 years of digital art programming, the gallery is presenting new and recent work from leading artists in this field. Artists include photographer Helma Sawatzky who, in her series Data Mulch, uses images from the compost bin at Vancouver’s Granville Island Public Market to connect the act of composting organic matter with the properties of our digital lives. Other works include Faisal Anwar’s large-scale video CharBagh, which uncovers the link between algorithms and Islamic art and design; Robert Youds’ series For Everyone a Fountain, which explores the garden by translating photographs of an iconic public garden in British Columbia into coloured light sequences; and virtual reality artist Paisley Smith, who teams up with painter and sculptor Lawrence Paul Yuxweluptun for Unceded Territories. The exhibit also includes Leila Sujir’s Forest Breath, which uses stereoscopic 3D video to portray a section of dense woodland.
