AHA MEDIA was pleased to attend the Hot One Inch Action MEDALISTS show at W2 Culture + Media House – 112 West Hastings in Vancouver Downtown Eastside (DTES)
THE ONE INCH BUTTON SHOW
Conceived by Jim Hoehnle and Chris Bentzen in 2004, Hot One Inch Action is the original, one-night only show of art, music and social interaction in Vancouver, BC. The original work of fifty different artists is presented on one inch buttons. These one inch buttons are displayed on the gallery wall and the audience is offered the opportunity to buy randomly selected buttons in bags of five for $5. If the bag purchased does not have the desired button, you are invited to trade with the people around you. How bad do you want that button? That’s when the hot action starts.

Ever wonder what doesn’t make it into the show? We have a difficult time choosing buttons to be in Hot One Inch Action and with 100-150 submissions each year, there’s a lot of great art that doesn’t make the cut. So, to kick off 2010, we’ve chosen 50 buttons not in the 2004-2009 shows to be MEDALISTS. Bags of 5 random buttons will be available for $5. Get a button you don’t want? Trade with the people around you! RSVP on Facebook.
The MEDALISTS for 2010: Alan Ashton, Andrea Zariwny, Barb Clayden, Brent Clowater, Carl Oxley III, Carmen Wagner, Chandra V. Halko, Christopher Ellis, Christopher Williams, Colin McFarland, Daisy Chia, Dalia Vukmirovich, Darcy Paterson, David Fleming-Saraceno, David Shame, Ehren Salazar, Eileen Soo, Erica-May Chan, Erin Cooper, Erin Griffin, Erin Watkins, Gord Bruce, Hayley Arlidge, Jackson Smith, Janos Sitar, Jen Crothers, Joanne White, Justin Longoz, Karin Vengshoel, Kate Zisman, Kazuko Kusumoto, Kim Kalanj, Kris Brownlee, Lara Smith, Laura Mcintyre, Leslie Supnet, Malcolm Van Delst, Matt Bowen, Meghan Deutscher, Michelle Chau, Michelle Kuen Suet Fung, Miranda Pang, Neal Michael, Paul Edmondson & Laurie Mark, Phresha, Polly Nomial, Rachael Ashe, Rose Poon, Theresa Wong, Tiffany Monk

Megaphone launches special issue: “Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside: A People’s History”
Wednesday Feb 3, 2010, 11 AM – 1PM, Interurban Gallery
http://www.MegaphoneMagazine.com
With the eyes of the world on Vancouver for the Winter Olympics, residents of the city’s Downtown Eastside will have a unique opportunity to dispel the negative stereotypes of their historic, but troubled, neighbourhood.
Megaphone, a magazine sold on the streets of Vancouver by homeless and low-income vendors, is launching a special, double-issue on the Downtown Eastside at the Interurban Gallery on Wednesday, February 3rd at 11 a.m. Entitled “Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside: A People’s History”, the issue aims to change the perception of the neighbourhood and the people that populate it.
“There are a lot of unfortunate stereotypes about the Downtown Eastside,” says Megaphone’s editor-in-chief, Sean Condon. “Many people have a tough time seeing beyond the drug use and poverty. But if you dig a little deeper, you’ll find a community bursting with spirit and compassion.”
The commemorative issue features stories on neighbourhood successes like the United We Can bottle depot, which provides both economic and environmental benefits to the city, and the Hope In Shadows calendar project, which shows the community’s strong spirit. It also features articles from vendors and Downtown Eastside residents about their lives and the tremendous barriers they’ve overcome.
Speaking at the event will be Sean Condon, Irwin Oostindie, executive director of W2 (an organization profiled in this issue) and Dalannah Gail Bowen (who is the executive director of the Downtown Eastside Centre for the Arts and is a member of editorial advisory board for this special issue).
Megaphone vendors will be in attendance to pick up issues and new Megaphone carrier bags. They will also be available to speak to the media.
The magazine’s launch will be held on Wednesday, February 3rd at the Interurban Gallery (1 E. Hastings) at 11 a.m. The event will be open to the public and will include snacks and drinks.
