II Out of the Gallery creative space by Tamara Neely W hat happens when you take art out of the contained people's private lives. Such as art stamps to adorn letters. And artvideos you can watch at home. But one might say that her latest project--public banners featuring stills from video footage, the images coming to life as you drive down the streets ofVancouver--is the exact opposite of this. O r is it? A A : What are you doing with the banners? ER: The city asked me to produce a number of images celebrating the millennium.The images are of me flying, which I think is a giddy and hopeful thing to do, and that's how I approach the millennium. I am interested in moving images, so [in this project] I've created the banners as if they were stills for a flip-book.When the audience moves, the banners become moving images. Each banner has numbers, using the figures 0 and I, because it's the digital age--modelling time-code in a video camera. A A : This project is amazing exposure for you. ER: I'm excited to be working with images that will be so public and accessible. A A : What interests you about showing your art outside the gallery space? ER: I like to see what happens when art moves out of the space that has been declared an art space. You go to a gallery to see art, and when you leave, you're finished with it.

A A : One difference is that people might be far more open to letting themselves think critical things about the art ER: Although they may not even realize that they are. A A : But you do show your work in galleries. ER: Exciting things do happen in galleries, and the range of types of galleries is huge. But galleries are strange spaces.They have exclusivity, and that's something I am trying to address in my street-banner project. This summer, Burrard, Gamble, and Georgia streets will be lined with Rathje's banners. Aside from the banners, her media includes graphic design, video, printmaking, and manufacturing.

What happens when you take the way you think about art, and the way you think about everyday things, and let them mingle in the privacy of your own home? Elisa Rathje, a Deep Cove-based artist, has been playing with these ideas. She has been creating art that exits the gallery and bumps around in
