Burtynsky: Human/Nature, opens next Saturday, May 30, 1:00 to 5:30 PM

Paul Kyle Gallery warmly invites you to the opening of Burtynsky: Human/Nature, a major exhibition of photographs by Edward Burtynsky, one of the most important and influential image-makers of our time.

Spanning works from 1985 to the present, Human/Nature brings together photographs from several of Burtynsky’s most celebrated series, including images of mines, tailings ponds, salt pans, stepwells, industrial sites, and other transformed landscapes.

For more than four decades, Burtynsky has made visible the vast material systems that sustain contemporary life, while revealing the profound marks they leave upon the earth. His photographs hold beauty and disturbance in the same frame, asking us to look more closely at the world we have built and the land we have altered.

With Human/Nature, landscape becomes record, evidence, and inscription.

We look forward to welcoming you to the gallery.

Last day of the Daniel Mullen exhibition is tomorrow, Saturday, May 16th.
We are open from 11:30-5:30. Don’t miss your chance to be among these incredible works, experience them in person and allow yourself the pleasure of slow viewing and true art appreciation.

Daniel Mullen’s paintings ask for the kind of attention that is now almost radical: sustained, embodied, unhurried looking. When you approach them in person, the surfaces seem to hold a low and steady vibration, something that cannot be reproduced in photographs and cannot be fully explained by language alone. Shown together, the paintings produced an experience that recalled something of the psychological and spiritual charge of the Rothko Chapel: not in imitation, but in affect, in the way painting can become an environment of feeling and contemplation rather than simply an image to be read. These are mature works, beautiful and restrained, silent yet unmistakably strong. Their strength lies not in insistence but in conviction. In that stillness there is depth, and in that depth there is a kind of sublimity, one grounded less in grandeur than in presence.
Exhibition on through May 16th. Don’t miss the opportunity to experience them in person.j.mullen

Please join us for a rare evening with Harry Malcolmson, celebrating his recent publication Scene: How the 1960s Transformed Canadian Art (UTP Press, 2025).

This Friday, April 24
Doors open at 6:30 PM | Talk begins at 7:00 PM

258 East 1st Ave, Second Floor, Vancouver

Harry Malcolmson is one of the most historically informed voices in Canadian art. He is also widely known, together with Ann Malcolmson, for building the Malcolmson Collection, now held by the Art Gallery of Ontario, one of the most important collections of historical photography in Canada. Their work as collectors has had a lasting impact on the study and appreciation of photography in this country.

Visiting from Toronto, Malcolmson will reflect on the painting, photography, gallery history, and cultural shifts that reshaped Canadian art in the 1960s. The evening will include a talk, conversation, audience Q and A, and book signing. Copies of Scene will be available for purchase at the gallery.

Bringing the perspective of a critic, collector, and close observer of Canadian cultural life, Malcolmson offers a rare opportunity to hear firsthand reflections on the artists, galleries, critics, collectors, and institutions that shaped a transformative decade.

We hope you will join us.

You are warmly invited to the opening of ECHOES, an exhibition of a new body of work from Amsterdam based artist Daniel Mullen .j.mullen this Saturday, April 18th, 1:00 - 5:30 PM.

“Echoes is a proposition through painting that aims to hold perception open.”

In our second exhibition with artist Daniel Mullen, this new body of work is structured for slow looking, reading differently across distance and proximity, allowing perception to adjust as the viewer moves through space.

The work functions like “an epilogue encountered without its narrative—an after-effect that establishes tone while the event itself remains elsewhere.” Linen plays an active role in this process: acrylic paint embeds into the weave, and colour oscillates between material presence and optical effect.

Held between surface and space, the paintings extend the encounter beyond the canvas.

We are screening Klavierklang (2024) twice this week, first time on Wednesday, March 18th, then again on Saturday, March 21st at . Following the screening, will be a discussion with Hildegard Westerkamp, Rachel Kiyo Iwaasa, Michael Brockington, and Nettie Wild.

Klavierklang, which means “piano sounds” in German, is produced by Rachel Kiyo Iwaasa and Hildegard Westerkamp.

In this experimental performance video, Westerkamp joins forces with renowned pianist Rachel Kiyo Iwaasa, traversing the liminal space between music and sound. Nettie Wild and Michael Brockington capture this performance, weaving the dramatic, nonlinear composition with lyrical imagery.

On Wednesday, March 18th, doors open at 6:30 PM. Screening begins at 7:30 PM. Tickets are free. Please RSVP for this day through our website. Seats are limited.

On Saturday, March 21st, gallery will be open and screening starts at 3:00 PM.

Klavierklang, a cinematic tone poem, follows a young girl in post-war Germany who grows up loving the piano. She takes piano lessons, but they make her frightened of making mistakes. Music, for the girl, becomes an uninspiring chore. Later, as a young woman, she travels to a ghost town and an abandoned house in British Columbia and finds a piano on which no note could be a mistake. She learns to listen again; the girl and her music are free. That girl went on to become celebrated soundscape composer and activist Hildegard Westerkamp.

We are screening Nettie Wild’s A Place Called Chiapas (1998) on Wednesday, March 11 at .

This is the film Nettie Wild is best known for internationally. Doors open at 6:30 PM. Screening begins at 7:00 PM.

Tickets are free. Please RSVP through our website. Seats are limited.

On January 1st, 1994, the indigenous Zapatista National Liberation Army took over five towns and five hundred ranches in southern Mexico.

Three years later, the Zapatistas are trapped in the Lacandon Jungle, surrounded by 30,000 Mexican army troops. They struggle to maintain a nervous ceasefire; despite ongoing peace talks, hundreds have been killed.

On camera, the death squads accuse the Zapatistas of violence. Off camera, they threaten to kill the film crew.

Wild travels throughout the jungle canyons of Chiapas to capture the elusive and fragile life of a revolution, its existence threatened by right-wing paramilitary death squads. Through eight months of filming, Wild takes the audience on her personal journey through fear, hope and illusion.

Following the screening, Nettie Wild will be joined for a discussion with producer Betsy Carson, cinematographer Kirk Tougas, and sound designer Velcrow Ripper.

We are screening Nettie Wild’s KONELĪNE: our land beautiful (2016) on Sunday, March 8 at .

Doors open at 1:00 PM. Screening begins at 2:00 PM.

Tickets are free. Please RSVP through our website. Seats are limited.

A bold and visually arresting experimental feature documentary, KONELĪNE: our land beautiful brings together politics, drama, humour, and extraordinary cinematic beauty. Set in the traditional territory of the Tahltan First Nation in northwestern British Columbia, the film explores a landscape shaped by wilderness, industry, memory, and change. Nettie Wild captures a place of immense complexity, where hunters, miners, workers, and dreamers move across the same land, each bound to it in different ways.

Created alongside the public art installation Uninterrupted, KONELĪNE marked a major shift in Wild’s cinematic language and storytelling.

Following the screening, Nettie Wild will be joined for a discussion by producer Betsy Carson, editor Michael Brockington, composer Hildegard Westerkamp, and sound designer Mark Lazeski.

We are proud to announce the opening of ‘The Collaborators’, opening reception Saturday, February 28th. This is a pivotal survey of Nettie Wild, one of Canada’s leading documentary artists.

Central to The Collaborators is its ecology of relationships: cinematographers, filmmakers, editors, sound designers, producers, composers, technicians, activists, and community members who bring the works into being. Guided by curiosity and perception, Wild and friends reclaim “documentary” by pushing past the first image, framing the familiar in unfamiliar ways to yield the unexpected.

Wild was the recipient of a Governor General’s Award in Media Arts (2023), the BC Film Critics Circle Award (2010), and was named one of British Columbia’s “most influential women” by The Vancouver Sun.

At the centre of the exhibition, GO FISH (2023), co-created with Scott Smith, is a three-screen installation portraying the annual herring return to the Salish Sea, recognising the sea’s ecological and cultural abundance as bound to stewardship. UninterruptedVR(2021) reimagines Wild and her team’s digital projection of the Pacific Salmon’s upstream passage onto Vancouver’s Cambie Bridge (2017) through virtual reality headsets. We will also showcase Wild’s moving paintings, Guangxi Totem and UninterruptedEYES: images on the wall that behave like cinema.

Special event screenings of each film and installation will be followed by discussions with Wild and her collaborators, exploring the creative challenges of producing each work.
