News
Welcoming Mitch Speed and Vanessa Disler to the CUR residency project. Mitch is an artist/writer and Vanessa is an artist and founding member of Exercise , an artist studio/project space here in Vancouver. Both fine additions to the project ! Welcome!
I’ve had some really interesting correspondance with my Uncle Glen lately regarding Corbin and the local area - he has a very sizeable collection of articles, photographs and stories to tell about Corbin, the mine, and also the whole Kootenay region. He just mailed me a big ol package today containing all sorts of local Kootenay area publications regarding a big reunion they had there in 1978 where surviving people who were born in and or lived in the Corbin united to celebrate the heritage of the town. The articles contain everything from Rum Running through the Kootenays across the U.S. border to accounts of the Corbin Riots and beyond. Were talking about historical findings not available online anywhere! Hard copy only! Holy Shit!
I am compiling an archive of this material that will be available at the cabin for all to peruse at your leisure. This ghost town has some ghosts - trust me.
