An ideal context for an examination of the competitive nature of group exhibitions is during the 2010 Winter Olympic Games. Organized by guest curator Eric Fredericksen, An Invitation to An Infiltration is a group exhibition of local and international artists ranging from emerging to established. The exhibition takes stock of the current state of artistic interventions in the physical space or institutional workings of a gallery. Over the course of its run, An Invitation to An Infiltration will continually disrupt the CAG's gallery space and change over time. The exhibition extends from the galleries to the windows to the street, and embraces its secondary materials, particularly curatorial and promotional texts and web information.

An Invitation to an Infiltration is a co-presentation between the Contemporary Art Gallery and VANOC and is sponsored by the British Columbia Arts Council under Unique Opportunities program.
