Until We Have A Helicopter

Until We Have A Helicopter is the collaborative entity of Vancouver artists Wes Cameron and Matthew Robertson. They graduated from Emily Carr Institute in 2004 and 2005, respectively. In 2005 they formed Until We Have A Helicopter in order to have their operation of Lobby Gallery identified as a project-based artwork, but have been creating together since long before then. For two years they facilitated site-specific installations in the unusual confines of the Dominion Hotel in Gastown.
In their recent exhibition UWHAH: Prequel at Gallery Atsui in Vancouver, Until We Have A Helicopter continued to work in a dimension between artist and curator by inviting artists to work with them to create an exhibition about them.
Their interest in site-specific, context-driven production is demonstrated in the exhibition UWHAH at Jeffrey Boone Gallery from January 15th to February 8th, 2009. In this exhibition and book launch, functionality, sports and leisure, pioneering, and comfort are presented with an attitude both romantic and practical.
