Anticipating Distance was the second instalment of a multiple city exhibition being held in Winnipeg (Flux in aceartinc. - 290 McDermot Avenue, August 28 - September 4) and Vancouver (Avenue, 165 E. Hastings St. September 24-30).

The concept of distance is intrinsically associated with tools used to measure and travel it. These tools, wildly varied in scale, immediacy and practicality, outline standards for the systems which they measure: kilometers, minutes, before and after. These modes of distance predicate relationships between art and viewer.

Finally, distance is interpreted cognitively, expanding and contracting internally within the perception of the subject. The work within ‘Anticipating Distance’ combines physical and cerebral approaches towards a definition of the phrase. The conclusion is multiple understandings of the abstract concept: emotional, mechanical, technological and geographical. The artists' diverse practices explore theoretical implications of displacement and the allegorical language inherent within mechanical and technological processes that affect human relationships.
