The Lenore Herb Archive @ VIVO
Much of Vancouver’s early punk music history would have been destined to exist only on vinyl if not for the relentless documentation by Lenore Herb. Armed with an unwieldy ¾ inch video camera. Lenore died in 2010 leaving an extensive archive of music, environmental, poetry and political videos that are at risk of disappearing unless the important task of digitization is completed. In 2014, Herb’s family (Saphira Coutts and Tali Foley-Herb) generously donated her extensive video and print archive to VIVO, which houses the largest repository of Video Art and community-based independent media in Western Canada.
Your ticket purchase will help with the continued digitization of Lenore’s Archive and lay the groundwork for an accessible online archive of her work.
Special thanks to Dennis Mills, Michelle Normyle, Diane Keenlyside, Nicolai Gauer and Elisa Ferrari for going the extra mile.
VIVO is located in the homelands of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam) Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), and səl̓ílwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) peoples in a warehouse space at 2625 Kaslo Street south of East Broadway at the end of E 10th. Transit line 9 stops at Kaslo Street on Broadway. From the bus stop, the path is paved, curbless, and on a slight decline. The closest skytrain station is Renfrew Station, which is three blocks south-east of VIVO and has an elevator. From there, the path is paved, curbless, and on a slight incline. There is parking available at VIVO, including wheelchair access parking. There is a bike rack at the entrance. The front entrance leads indoors to a set of 7 stairs to the lobby.
A wheelchair ramp is located at the west side of the main entrance. The ramp has two runs: the first run is 20 feet long, and the second run is 26 feet. The ramp is 60 inches wide. The slope is 1:12. The ramp itself is concrete and has handrails on both sides. There is an outward swinging door (34 inch width) at the top of the ramp leading to a vestibule. A second outward swinging door (33 inch width) opens into the exhibition space. Buzzers and intercoms are located at both doors to notify staff during regular office hours or events to unlock the doors. Once unlocked, visitors can use automatic operators to open the doors.
There are two all-gender washrooms. One has a stall and is not wheelchair accessible. The other is a single room with a urinal and is wheelchair accessible: the door is 33 inches wide and inward swinging, without automation. The toilet has 11 inch clearance on the left side and a handrail.
To reach the bathrooms from the studio, exit through the double doors and proceed straight through the lobby and down the hall . Turn left, and the two bathrooms will be on your right side. The closest one has a stall and is not wheelchair accessible. The far bathroom is accessible.
