About the Exhibition:

Some stories are best told at twilight. As the sun sets below the horizon and darkness emerges, the veil lifts between the everyday and the spirit realm. Supernatural creatures inhabit our world: haunting dreams and lullabies, appearing in the pages of legends and recounted through the memories of elders. This magic manifests in the whimsical storytelling of artist Cindy Mochizuki. stories best told at twilight focuses on the artist’s telling of Japanese myths, legends and folklore. Each artwork—which might manifest as a short animation, an elaborate installation or a singular performance—is the result of an abundance of images and objects that came before. This solo exhibition goes behind the curtain, taking a rare look at the artist’s usually hidden creative process and spanning artworks created over more than a decade.

Organizer

Art Gallery at Evergreen

Situated on the shores of Lafarge Lake in Town Centre Park, Evergreen Cultural Centre operates on the unceded, traditional and ancestral core territory of the kʷikʷəƛ ̓əm (Kwikwetlem) First Nation. We thank the kʷikʷəƛ̓əm who continue to live on these lands and care for them, along with the waters and all that is above and below. Described by the City of Coquitlam as the “cultural jewel in Coquitlam’s Town Centre,” we are the Tri-Cities premiere venue for live arts events, exhibitions, and experiences. Every year, we offer a thrilling season of performing arts presentations in our Studio Theatre, curated exhibitions in the Art Gallery at Evergreen, and arts education programs in a variety of disciplines. As a non-profit and charitable organization, our staff, volunteers, and board of directors are dedicated to creating an inclusive and accessible community gathering place for visitors to immerse themselves in the magic of live performance and visual art.

The Art Gallery at Evergreen (AGE) engages visitors through curated exhibitions, activated by public programs and dynamic school workshops. The AGE focuses on contemporary art and ideas explored by professional artists working in all mediums. We believe that art is integral to the fabric of daily life and seek opportunities to connect people with artists and the creative process.
