About this Event

Join Bahar Mohazabnia, Griffin’s Assistant Curator of Engagement for an Exhibition Tour of The Prop House: A Collection of Over One Million Objects in Farsi.


The Prop House: A Collection of Over One Million Objects explores the objects housed in the collection of Mount Pleasant Furniture (MPF). MPF has been a prop house wonderland for the film, television, stage and art communities for decades. The Prop House offers an opportunity to celebrate and explore this extraordinary collection with the public for the first time. The objects were sourced everywhere, from second hand stores to garage to estate sales deepening in complexity and materiality. In turn, this archive has been returned to the world as objects of imagination, inscribing film and theatre scenes with affective qualities through their presence, from romance to horror to police procedurals.  The Prop House celebrates the decades-old collection of MPF, by inviting Vancouver-based artists who will create one last journey of imagination before the Prop House closes. Embracing archive, hauntology, nostalgia and the imaginary, the re-assemblages and responses includes the work of Cathy Busby, Germaine Koh, Jason Payne, Jay Senetchko, Charlene Vickers, Parvin Peivandi and Bagua Artist Association who will reflect on the sovereign life of objects. 


This exhibition also features a film on the  Mount Pleasant Community ArtScreen and window installations at Mount Pleasant Furniture.


The Prop House: A Collection of Over One Million Objects is presented by Griffin Art Projects (North Vancouver) and On Main Gallery (Vancouver) in collaboration with grunt gallery, Mount Pleasant Community Screen and Mount Pleasant Furniture.
