In the fall of 2022, I spoke with two Victoria-based curator\u002Fprogrammers, Dani Neira and Alexis Hogan, who each coordinate a mobile art space in the region — \u003C\u002Fem>Crummy Gallery\u003Cem> and \u003C\u002Fem>lichen\u003Cem>, respectively. Settled on the ground under the canopy of trees in Fernwood’s Springridge Commons, we met to talk about the flexibility DIY arts spaces offer, the unique gifts of collaborative working practices, and the ever-potent desire for true gathering spaces.\u003C\u002Fem>\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cdiv style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\">\u003C\u002Fdiv>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u003Cstrong>Kara Stanton (KS): \u003C\u002Fstrong>Can you describe the gallery spaces you manage, and the curatorial projects connected to them?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u003Cstrong>Dani Neira (DN): \u003C\u002Fstrong>Crummy Gallery is a mobile art space originally constructed by Cedric Bomford, who&#8217;s currently the visual arts chair at UVic. From what I understand, a “crummy” is the name of a really small vehicle that was used to transport resource workers to and from the worksite. Cedric’s practice often takes the form of these really large-scale, interactive architectural installations, and he looks at a lot of things to do with constructed space, so he built this gallery as a part of one of his projects. He was thinking a lot about contested spaces, and his own settler history, a history of extractivism, and how art spaces and art galleries play into that, in being on the land.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cedric built it to fit on the back of his truck, so it generally lives on the back of a truck, and then it has this little nook in the back that you \u003Cem>can\u003C\u002Fem> sleep in, if you were traveling with it. It&#8217;s 11’ x 7’, so it’s a pretty tiny little space — but it feels really intimate.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It was sitting empty for two or three years through the pandemic, and then I got put into contact with him. We talked about the need for alternative art spaces, and he said “go for it—you can use it.” Then through lots of conversations me and my very good friend Cassia formed a curatorial collective, \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.dirtydishescollective.com\u002F\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Dirty Dishes\u003C\u002Fa>, and we did some partnership programming at Crummy. We also partner with UVic sometimes for Crummy programming, but it’s its own little mobile art space — it doesn’t really have any funding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u003Cstrong>Alexis Hogan (AH): \u003C\u002Fstrong>Before I went to art school back in, like 2010, I was involved with folks in Victoria doing underground art shows — having bands play under the Bay Street Bridge at midnight kind of thing. And that really inspired me to go to art school, learn some more things and bring that back to my community. My collaborator at the time, Andy Anderson, (who runs \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.cavitycuriosityshop.ca\u002F\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Cavity Curiosity\u003C\u002Fa>) and I were dreaming of what it would be like to take the show on the road and have something in a mobile space. And that&#8217;s where that seed was planted.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I’ve worked with the fifty fifty arts collective, Open Space and other art collectives in Vancouver, but I started to feel really constrained by gallery projects. The idea of being able to do stuff respectfully and with relationships that are more land-based or site-specific is something that really appealed to me, for the chance to activate different spaces or bring art to other communities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In 2020 I had the opportunity through Michelle Jaques and Nicole Stanbridge at the Art Gallery of Greater Victoria (AGGV) to bring this project, \u003Cem>lichen\u003C\u002Fem>, to life. And I was able to form a team with carpenters\u002Fartists Craig Turney and Josh Ngenda and Jesse Campbell to build this mobile gallery space.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I really wanted it to be able to flex — to be really simply designed so that it could be used for a multiplicity of different things. So it looks like a tiny house…\u003Cstrong> \u003C\u002Fstrong>It’s 18’ long, 20’ with the tongue, and about 8.5’ wide and about 13’ tall. There are solar panels so there can be electricity off-site, a battery bank, and track lighting inside and a sort of salon-style wall. And then there&#8217;s a loft so people can stay in it.\u003Cspan id='easy-footnote-1-1486'>\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003Cspan class='easy-footnote'>\u003Csup id='easy-footnote-1-1486' content='Watch a full video tour of \u003Cem>lichen \u003C\u002Fem>on the AGGV’s YouTube account: \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fyoutu.be\u002FPm7CKkQ5ZuM\">https:\u002F\u002Fyoutu.be\u002FPm7CKkQ5ZuM\u003C\u002Fa>&nbsp;“Tour of \u003Cem>lichen\u003C\u002Fem> with artist Alexis Hogan,” \u003Cem>Around the Island\u003C\u002Fem>, Art Gallery of Greater Victoria. 10 Feb, 2021.' v-tippy='{ allowHTML: true }'>1\u003C\u002Fsup>\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We started to build it at the beginning of the pandemic.

For instance, we have a ramp to the space built to be able to handle the grade necessary for a wheelchair. It’s not 100% perfect — we&#8217;ve had to do some post modifications because of rain, and things like that. The loft is also not accessible; one of the advisory committee asked if we could lower the loft hydraulically.

We had put out a call for submissions for a zine library that aligned with the themes of the residency, and we set up a community workshop zone right outside of the Crummy to use the outdoor space. It was just so nice. There were so many people who would just show up and everyone was sitting in the sun and people would bring their own crafts or just sit and read zines. It was a gathering space. We also took a beach field trip where Kitt took recordings of us talking and skipping rocks, and throughout the residency, they recorded stories from trans and gender non-conforming participants.

Through some funding that we got at the Compost Ed Centre, they started to build a garden with a group of students there. The idea organically came about how we could bring \u003Cem>lichen\u003C\u002Fem> — this arts organism named for the collaboration of fungi, cyanobacteria, and algae — to the school.

We treated the scotch broom paper with cyanotype and made prints off of that. The result of working together for a month and a half was “with busy hands,” this tremendous exhibition of shared work. For me, it was like casting back and forth, into the past and into the future. There was an aspect working with the younger version of myself — and the potential of these young, brilliant people.
