This tradition has always grown out of the gallery\u2019s kitchen space, representing the heart of the organization and a point of intersection for many of Vancouver\u2019s artist communities. It has become a place where many points of view collide and the city\u2019s cultural diversity is apparent.<\/p>\n<p>Building on this tradition, grunt gallery\u2019s new Media Lab will be a space molded by the long tradition of a diverse and cross-disciplinary art for which grunt has become known. The Media Lab will be a media arts extension of the discussions and ideas that have grown from grunt\u2019s physical kitchen over the past two decades. The Media Lab will be a testament to this important history; it is an idea whose time is come. It will allow us to open our extensive archives to the public, develop online audiences and increase capacity for educational programming as well as offering artists new opportunities to work in digital media&#8221;.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Making Culture Lab is excited to work in research partnership with the grunt gallery Media Lab in Vancouver, B.C.
