Rendezvous with Madness Film Tour: Ken Foster As part of the Dawson City Riverside Arts Festival The Vancouver street artist Ken Foster is a fixture on the mean streets of Gastown, a district legendary for its community of broken souls. Foster paints what he sees. He paints it boldly and he paints it fast. Partly this is due to his technique: images spring from him like thoughts, the city transfigured into stark visions. But it is also part of his survival strategy: Foster is a schizophrenic crack addict, and he has chosen to live with his demons as a condition of his art. A documentary as fascinating and uncompromising as it subject. Culture critic and RWM program director, Geoff Pevere will lead a post-screening discussion.
