Art elicits many themes From page 27 the second floor, this piece, flank- ed on both sides by blackened stepladders that remind us of all the heights we have climbed as well as those we have failed to scale, is like an ironic altar ina quasi-Gothic cathedral. Bathed in a celestia! fight emanating from Leko stage-lamps, Itter’s ‘‘street'’ becomes a temple presided over by the god of tech- nology embodied in the iconic form of the transfigured church organ. While it can be read as a tribute to immigrant labor, it may also be viewed as a satirical attack on wasteful consumerism, a whim- sical dramatization of the un- checked wizardry of technological systems, a requiem to the fading Canadian Dream, an ironic evoca- tion of a small-town church, ora sepulchre for what may turn out to be our dying nation. This work will bear these and the many other readings it is likely to elicit from the large, en- thusiastic audience it is attracting at the Vancouver Art Gallery.
