The title of this exhibition is associated with military language, and implies the time at which a specific event is about to take place. Vanderhoof, BC, artist Michael Rees develops paintings that tend to embody anxious anticipation, such as that experience before a critical moment is to occur. Primarily using photographs and video stills as source material, Rees composes unlikely or curious scenes, such as a young girl cleaning the inside of a tent, a swat team huddling in fear of an orange, and an apparent murder. In each case, Reesโ€™ paintings provoke feelings of uncertainty and suspense, leading viewers to question what is happening and to wonder what might happen next.
