274 East 1st is a major exhibition of new work by gallery artists that inaugurates the gallery’s move to the central Main Street/Terminal Avenue area of Vancouver, at 274 East 1st Avenue.

The newly renovated 6500 square-foot industrial warehouse space, designed by architect/artist Robert Kleyn, marks a new situation from which the project of the gallery will proceed. This opening group exhibition initiates the practical and aesthetic reconfiguration of the space and declares a groundnote from which future installations, interventions and curatorial collaborations can develop. The forthcoming practice at Catriona Jeffries will offer both a civic counterpoint and keen commitment to artists' representation internationally.
