On Monday, May 12, 2008 a major earthquake, measuring 7.9 on the Richter scale, rocked southwestern China's Sichuan Province. The tremors were felt as far as Wuhan, Shanghai and Beijing. Hundreds of aftershocks followed in the same area. The quake destroyed thousands buildings, as well as infrastructure like communication networks and electrical towers. As of June 4th, 69,122 dead, 17,991 missing, 373,606 injured, 45,690,000 victimized, and more than 11 million people displaced. Many homes, schools and businesses were destroyed. This earthquake is the worst natural disaster to hit China in 30 years.
This event is a humanitarian contribution from the Vancouver art community to those who are suffering from the terrible disaster in Sichuan, China. Featuring a diverse and spectacular group of Canadian and international artists, including Eric Metcalfe, Hank Bull, Randy Gledhill, David Khang, Xu Bing, and Ding Yi, with more than 30 contemporary art works, incorperated into Centre A's current exhibition Showroom, the auction is so far the biggest China earthquake relief event in Vancouver. A sneak preview of the art work is available online at http://2008may12.blogspot.com. Internet bidding is also accepted for those who cannot attend.
This event is free and open to everyone. Entry is by donation. Those wishing to donate money for the earthquake relief will be able to do so at the event. 100% of the proceeds will go to Canadian Red Cross.
