Presented in collaboration with the Burrardview Community Association and SiteFactory, The Evelyn Exhibition grew out of a singular ODD JOBS maintenance request: “Please make an art installation or project with the supplied surplus audio tape, along the lines of Evelyn Roth”.

In order to fulfill the job request, Owen invited Vancouver-based artists Liljana Mead Martin, Holly Schmidt and Lois Klassen to create artworks or workshops in response to the diverse practice of performance art legend Evelyn Roth that were installed in and around the SiteFactory bus at Burrardview Park on July 28th 2019 for a one-day exhibition and celebration. The event also included live music from InFuse, sculptural works by Jani Carroll and improvised dance performances by Ray Fuse and Anna Materna using costumes made by Evelyn Roth from recycled fabrics.
