Campbell\, Still Tho is an ode to the visual artists in Canada who shaped hip hop culture and its visual aesthetics. In this group exhibition featuring artists from across Canada\, an array of mix-media works explores the growth\, influence and importance of graffiti art and its aesthetic legacies. \nThe phrase “Still Tho” in the exhibition’s title refers to a common expression in hip-hop culture that speaks to these artists’ perseverance\, their overcoming numerous barriers to make art and build community. Moreover\, the exhibition highlights the lasting impact of hip hop’s visual art on both Canadian culture and visual aesthetics in our digital age. \nFeature image: Still from “Moments of Movement\, Freestyle Dance Video Series #104 – Tafiya”\, Mark Valino\, 2022.[/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line”][vc_column_text css=”” text_direction=”default”]\nOpening Reception\nAll are welcome to a celebratory reception for MSVU Art Gallery’s Fall exhibitions\, ‘Still Tho\,’ curated by Mark V.

Each artist reflected on this expression in their contribution to the design. \nKalkidan Assefa (Dripping Soul) chose to honour the pioneers of East Coast/Atlantic hip hop\, focusing on Black Nova Scotian communities. Areas like Uniacke Square—where some Africville residents were relocated—were among the first in the region to embrace hip hop’s underlying themes of social and economic disenfranchisement. Assefa highlighted the emcee\, one of hip hop’s four elements\, as the voice that connected these communities with others who shared similar experiences. \nMique Michelle pays homage to the women of hip hop who are often overlooked as contributors to the culture\, collaborators\, or solo artists. Too often\, they are seen as “assistants.” Inspired by Atlantic Canada’s heavy-hitting women emcees\, the globally trailblazing women of hip hop\, and their stories\, Mique Michelle created three characters who are a mashup of past\, present\, and future Femme presence. Mique Michelle adds\, “Let’s not forget to write ourselves into the future while respecting those who created the foundation.”  She invites viewers to take a closer at the mural to find a dozen local easter eggs scattered throughout. \nGhettosocks believes that the founders of hip hop (like DJ Kool Herc) intended to bring people together by celebrating life and culture through their music. This essence permeates the wall and will hold it down until the next iteration inevitably seizes its place. \n“Painting this mural with Mique and Kal has been a beautiful experience. Collaboration is one of the many incredible aspects of hip hop\, and I feel privileged to be included amongst such a pair of immense talent.”[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row] URL:https://www.msvuart.ca/exhibition/still-tho-aesthetic-survival-in-hip-hops-visual-art/ LOCATION:MSVU Main Gallery CATEGORIES:Community,Drawing & Printmaking,History,Indigenous,Media,Painting,Photography,Sculpture & Installation ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.msvuart.ca/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/Tafiya-alley-mid-air-copy.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20200404 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20200525 DTSTAMP:20260617T072921 CREATED:20200209T153245Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240212T181142Z UID:10000202-1585958400-1590364799@www.msvuart.ca SUMMARY:Jane Everett: Understory DESCRIPTION:[vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text]Understory is an immersive mixed media installation that evokes the feeling of standing amongst the grand forests of the British Columbian interior. The large-scale charcoal drawings of Lodgepole Pine\, Ponderosa\, and Douglas Fir trees sway slightly in response to air currents in the gallery\, evoking the canopy of these monstrous\, seemingly ageless trees. Notions of human incursions upon nature— hydroelectric lines\, communication towers and the effects of invasive species like the pine beetle—seep into the drawings\, hinting at the fragility of the wilderness. Everett lives and works in Kelowna\, BC. \nThis exhibition was cancelled due to MSVU Art Gallery’s closure in response to COVID-19[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][divider line_type=”No Line”][divider line_type=”No Line”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1/3″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text]\nInterview with Jane Everett\n[/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line”][vc_video link=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6IjLNWG-yWc&feature=emb_logo”][/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1/3″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text]\nAudio Companion\n[/vc_column_text]\n \n \n \n Exhibition Audio Track\n Jane Everett: Understory\n https://www.msvuart.ca/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/Understory_3-1024x685.jpg\n ALL CATEGORIES\n \n \n https://www.msvuart.ca/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/Understory-first-5-mins-_01.mp3\n \n \n Artist's Statement\n Jane Everett: Understory\n \n ALL CATEGORIES\n \n \n https://www.msvuart.ca/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/Jane-Everett.m4a\n \n \n No HTML5 audio playback capabilities for this browser.

portraits of grass. Using landscape imagery\, botanical studies and the symbolism of institutional collection and preservation\, Allison contemplates what is lost and found through the consumption and commodification of land. In conjunction with the exhibition\, Allison will host public events and workshops as part of her summer residency at MSVU Art Gallery. \nCarrie Allison is an Indigenous mixed-ancestry visual artist born and raised on unceded and unsurrendered Coast Salish Territory (Vancouver)\, with roots in High Prairie\, Alberta. Situated in K’jipuktuk (Halifax) since 2010\, Allison’s practice responds to her maternal Cree and Métis ancestry\, thinking through intergenerational cultural loss and acts of reclaiming\, resilience\, kinship and visiting. Allison received her Master and Bachelor in Fine Art and Bachelor in Art History from NSCAD University.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1/3″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_video link=”https://vimeo.com/338904096″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][divider line_type=”No Line”][divider line_type=”No Line”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1/3″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column_text]\nCatalogue\n[/vc_column_text][image_with_animation image_url=”18266″ animation=”Fade In” hover_animation=”none” alignment=”” img_link_target=”_blank” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”none” image_loading=”default” max_width=”100%” max_width_mobile=”default” img_link=”https://www.msvuart.ca/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/clearing-Catalogue.pdf”][/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1/3″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column_text]\nWorkshop\nJune 29\, July 20\, July 27 at 1:00-4:00pm \nArtist Carrie Allison will facilitate a series of workshops that experiment with the photosensitive drawing techniques used in her exhibition clearing.

During her residency Carrie will work on a new project she describes as “a body of work that examines the act and impact of clear-cutting trees\, thinking and beading through this difficult theme with contemplation\, meditation and duration.” Visitors are welcome to drop by the studio to chat with Carrie and are invited to (learn how to) bead with her\, regardless of skill level. Supplies are provided and Carrie is happy to demonstrate beading techniques based on the subjects she is focusing on.

scholarships to visual artists since 1949. To celebrate the NSTT 75th Anniversary\, First You Dream developed out of a call for entries to all scholarship recipients\, inviting submissions of recent work. The final exhibition selection resulted in a broad range of media\, including drawing\, ceramics\, fibre\, jewellery\, mixed-media\, painting\, printmaking\, sculpture and video.

But living rooms are private spaces packed with emotions and history\, as well as social and political investments. The kind of living room we create can reveal our background\, our values\, our social position\, and our aspirations. Even the privilege of having a living room speaks volumes when so many people live in precarious situations\, are without shelter\, or have been displaced from their homes and traditional lands. \nThis exhibition explores the many dynamics of domestic environments by staging a radically re-imagined living room in the gallery space. Unpacking the Living Room will host thoughtful community discussions about craft and art\, amateurism and professionalism\, leisure and labour\, and the private and the political. Through playful and insightful interventions\, Unpacking the Living Room invites community members to reflect on the histories and ideologies that ground understandings of self\, home\, belonging\, and resilience. \n– Julie Hollenbach\, curator[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default”

The first phase follows a group of friends as they attempt to construct self-portraits. The second phase of the performance sees the friends forgo the arduous task of performing femininity to perfection. Opting instead to glitch\, disembody and otherwise intervene in the prescriptive works of mainstream feminine gurus such as Jane Fonda\, Martha Stewart\, Sheryl Sandberg\, and Iliza Schleslinger. This phase of the performance witnesses the friends’ collective embrace of the queer pleasure of gender failure. Visitors are invited to drop-in or attend the whole performance.

bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column_text]Tove Storch’s first solo exhibition in North America follows a three-week production residency in the Art Gallery. The young Danish artist has already exhibited at S.M.A.K.\, Ghent\, Belgium; the Louisiana Museum\, Copenhagen\, Denmark; and various galleries in Brazil. She recently completed a residency at the International Studio and Curatorial Program\, New York. \nStorch’s sculpture emphasizes process\, physicality and the unique properties of materials. These characteristics are reminiscent of minimalist and post-minimalist practices of the 1970s. A Danish critic has identified a range of art-historical allusions in her work: “Donald Judd’s specific objects came to mind\, as did Robert Irwin’s more delicate combinations of material qualities and visual effects\, and the sensual spatial politics of Lygia Clark and Helio Oiticica.” \nThe new work proposed by Storch engages with the gallery’s two-storey architecture\, deploying a forest of narrow metal rods to span the distance between floor and ceiling with an effect similar to that of a drawing. It incorporates the formal paradox typical of Storch’s sculpture\, wherein the physical concreteness of the elements belies the optical variability of their appearance. \nDescription of Untitled 2017\nThe work is composed of 137 quarter-inch\, oxidized cold-rolled steel rods\, pierced at the top and attached with wire to anchors set into the coffered concrete ceiling. The rods are welded once\, each in a different place along its length from the others. In addition\, the rods have been bent by hand\, each in a unique way. \nThe rods vary in length\, however each spans the entire distance between the floor and its attachment point on the ceiling\, either 7.18 metres to the interior of a coffer or 6.57 metres to the lower edge of a coffer. The irregularly shaped array of rods covers a floor area of approximately 18.51 metres by 8.23 metres. \nPanel Discussion\nWednesday\, March 15th at 3:30pm \nArtist Kim Morgan will hold a public conversation with gallery director Ingrid Jenkner concerning Storch’s work. Morgan’s sculpture Range Light\, Borden-Carleton\, PEI (2010) won the Lieutenant Governor of Nova Scotia Masterworks Arts Award in 2012.[/vc_column_text][vc_gallery type=”image_grid” images=”15653\,15654\,15655\,15656″ display_title_caption=”true” layout=”3″ masonry_style=”true” item_spacing=”default” gallery_style=”2″ load_in_animation=”none”][divider line_type=”No Line”][/vc_column][/vc_row] URL:https://www.msvuart.ca/exhibition/tove-storch-sculpture/ CATEGORIES:Drawing & Printmaking,Modernist Survivals,Sculpture & Installation ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.msvuart.ca/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/Tove-Storch-Untitled-2017-steel-rods-wire-7.2-metres-high-x-8.23-metres-wide-x-18.51-metres-long.-MSVU-Art-Gallery-Halifax-1.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20170211 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20170410 DTSTAMP:20260617T072921 CREATED:20180914T182700Z LAST-MODIFIED:20190716T143858Z UID:10000043-1486771200-1491782399@www.msvuart.ca SUMMARY:How Do I Look?

As a corollary to their engagement with practices of looking and appearing\, these self-portraits also tackle the frameworks of race\, gender and sexuality. \nIn her extended photographic self-portrait\, Rosalie Favell exposes the intersectional consequences of coming out as an Indigenous lesbian. Works by the African Nova Scotian artists Chrystal Clements and Jim Shirley confront the racializing gaze in inventive ways. Replacing images with words\, Marie Koehler tackles and triumphs over patriarchal objectifications of women’s appearance. Sarra McNie\, on the other hand\, subsumes the representation of her nude figure in the formal problems of modernist painting.[/vc_column_text][vc_gallery type=”image_grid” images=”15660\,15661″ display_title_caption=”true” layout=”3″ masonry_style=”true” item_spacing=”default” gallery_style=”2″ load_in_animation=”none”][divider line_type=”No Line”][/vc_column][/vc_row] URL:https://www.msvuart.ca/exhibition/how-do-i-look/ CATEGORIES:Drawing & Printmaking,Gender & Sexuality,Nova Scotian Artists,Painting,Photography,Race ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.msvuart.ca/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/Favell-Living-Evidence.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20160116 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20160314 DTSTAMP:20260617T072921 CREATED:20160918T105034Z LAST-MODIFIED:20190723T145952Z UID:10000045-1452902400-1457913599@www.msvuart.ca SUMMARY:Kids these days DESCRIPTION:[vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” overlay_strength=”0.3″ shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_link_target=”_self” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column_text]Kids these days presents video\, photography\, and graphic works that draw from the fields of anthropology\, psychology and sociology\, to examine youth and youth cultures in the Canadian context.

Themes of memory\, transitory states and trace imagery pervade their art. \nThe title of the exhibition evokes the realism with which each artist renders subjects such as the façade of a wooden shack\, a range of mountain peaks\, or the intricate patterning of twisted wires in a chain-link fence. Virtuosic mimicry is not the only point of such images\, however; “failures” such as smudges and anomalies of scale disrupt the illusions and remind viewers of the usually compliant but sometimes faltering hands and memories upon which the illusions depend. \nOPENING RECEPTION: Saturday\, January 17 at 2:00pm\nOpens jointly with Prospect 17: Joanna Close.[/vc_column_text][vc_gallery type=”image_grid” images=”17213\,17212″ display_title_caption=”true” layout=”3″ masonry_style=”true” item_spacing=”default” gallery_style=”2″ load_in_animation=”none”][divider line_type=”No Line”][/vc_column][/vc_row] URL:https://www.msvuart.ca/exhibition/beautiful-illusions-melanie-colosimo-charley-young/ CATEGORIES:Drawing & Printmaking,Nova Scotian Artists ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.msvuart.ca/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/Charley-Young-Rocky-Mountains-Diptych-detail-diptych-with-maple-wall-braces-2014.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20140524 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20140811 DTSTAMP:20260617T072921 CREATED:20190815T155220Z LAST-MODIFIED:20190815T155220Z UID:10000191-1400889600-1407715199@www.msvuart.ca SUMMARY:Ron Shuebrook: Drawings DESCRIPTION:[vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” overlay_strength=”0.3″ shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_link_target=”_self” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column_text]The influential artist and educator Ron Shuebrook works every summer in his Blandford\, Nova Scotia studio. He is best known as an abstract painter who aligns his work with American late Modernist tendencies. In Shuebrook’s work\, “late Modernism” means adherence to the principles of formalist aesthetics\, compositional refinement and exploration of the properties of his materials. For this artist there is no practical distinction to be made between drawing and painting: “Drawing and painting are both about working with a certain material.” \nThis exhibition acknowledges the centrality of drawing to Ron Shuebrook’s practice. Representing over 30 years of production by the artist\, Drawings has much to teach viewers about process. Freed from the burden of representation\, Shuebrook’s hard-edged geometric figures in black compressed charcoal interlock in dynamic tension\, generating graphic elegance from the visibly erased and reworked remnants of false starts and new decisions. \nThis is the first retrospective survey with a catalogue of drawings by Ron Shuebrook. The exhibition will tour Canada from coast to coast over the next two years.[/vc_column_text][vc_gallery type=”image_grid” images=”17260\,17261\,17262\,17263″ display_title_caption=”true” layout=”3″ masonry_style=”true” item_spacing=”default” gallery_style=”2″ load_in_animation=”none”][divider line_type=”No Line”][/vc_column][/vc_row] URL:https://www.msvuart.ca/exhibition/ron-shuebrook-drawings/ CATEGORIES:Drawing & Printmaking,Modernist Survivals,Nova Scotian Artists ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.msvuart.ca/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/Ron-Shuebrook-Wharf-2012-charcoal-on-rag-paper-108-x-175-cm-2012.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20130112 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20130225 DTSTAMP:20260617T072921 CREATED:20190815T174601Z LAST-MODIFIED:20190815T174601Z UID:10000194-1357948800-1361750399@www.msvuart.ca SUMMARY:Activist Ink DESCRIPTION:[vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” overlay_strength=”0.3″ shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_link_target=”_self” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column_text]Emily Davidson\, Dan O’Neill and Ericka Walker are three Haligonian printmakers whose work revives the history of socially engaged printmaking. \nDavidson has chosen the radical format of “agitprop” for her body of work.

The serene expressions of the immaculately coiffed and classically posed cadavers belie both the violence of dissection and the struggles raging within.

Fitzpatrick: Bite and Burn\, encore DESCRIPTION:[vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” overlay_strength=”0.3″ shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_link_target=”_self” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column_text]Jason Fitzpatrick lives in Vancouver and works in construction to support his artmaking. He holds a B.F.A. (NSCAD\, 1993) and an M.F.A. (University of Windsor\,2004) in sculpture. Although his collaborative art practice encompasses performance\, body art\, video and printmaking\, Fitzpatrick conceives of his work as process-based sculpture\, and acknowledges the influence of the twentieth-century “social sculptor” Joseph Beuys. \nBite and Burn\, encore sums up the three-part project\, Bite and Burn\, which took place as follows: Central (Open Studio\, Toronto\, 2006); Pacific (Grunt Gallery\, Vancouver\, 2006); and Atlantic (STRUTS Gallery\, Sackville\, NB\, 2007). The components on each occasion were a drywall-and-insulation cubicle\, the site of tattooing and printmaking sessions; Heavy Metal music played on a turntable; and prints pulled from the artist’s freshly tattooed back. In each venue the artist and his tattooist and printmaker collaborators staged a single action\, completing one third of a tattoo in the form of a black band extending down the artist’s spine. The 60 monoprints exhibited in the stairwell landing demonstrate the progression of the tattoo design over the course of three separate actions\, which are also documented in the video installation entitled bomber. \nBite and Burn was deliberately presented as a “tour” analogous to that of a Heavy Metal rock band. In Bite and Burn\, encore the addition of a sculpted solid copper rack carrying 96 silk-screened “tour” shirts with the tattoo design printed on the backs reinforces the analogy. In place of the recorded Metal music that accompanied previous actions\, the action on 10 January was preceded and followed by live sets played by the local band Realiser. The performance was staged on an eight-by-eight-foot platform composed of pink fibreglass insulation sandwiched between sheets of drywall\, replacing the cubicle of previous iterations. The resulting prints (impressions of blood and tattoo ink) appear on the wall behind the platform. \nThe performance part of Bite and Burn\, encore entails risk. Submitting himself publicly to a process which will temporarily hurt and permanently mark his body\, Fitzpatrick leaves himself vulnerable to accidents in which it will be difficult for the audience to intervene. The tattooist (Amber Thorpe\, Halifax) must apply a solid black tattoo designed by Fitzpatrick while drawing enough blood to make an acceptable print. The printmaker (Dax Morrison\, Toronto) has a limited quantity of paper\, and must take impressions from Fitzpatrick’s chest\, a more difficult enterprise than taking them from his back as in previous performances. All three collaborators are forbidden to converse—the quality of the hoped-for edition of ten prints will depend on the care\, skill and trust with which they silently interact. Despite good intentions\, the likelihood of pain\, embarrassment\, aesthetic failure and audience discomfort are strikingly reminiscent of 1970s performances by the visual artist Vito Acconci. \nFitzpatrick’s staging of printmaking as a ritual ordeal evokes historical antecedents such as performance artist Chris Burden’s subjection of himself to shooting and crucifixion\, and bloody performances by the Vienna Aktionists. The dangerously tippy platform harks back to threatening\, post-minimal prop sculptures by Richard Serra. Its bricolaged materials suggest the DIY aesthetic of Punk. Bio-hazard signs posted on the walls add consequences to the institutional taboo against touching works of art. Absent the performance\, and the overall effect of its residue is much less ambiguous. The installation implies a subject who is hyper-masculine to the point of parody—head-banging\, aggressive and intensely heterosexualist. \nIn Bite and Burn\, encore\, Fitzpatrick contrives to situate his work art historically\, through references to post-minimal sculpture and body art of the 1970s (including body art prints made by Joyce Wieland and Vito Acconci at the NSCAD Lithography Workshop in 1970) and also socially\, through signifiers of subcultures such as Punk and Heavy Metal—and related forms of body modification—which arose in the same era. The merging of these elements into a single signifying system proposes analogies between late twentieth-century visual art and underground music that may strike some as paradoxical: the artistic avant-garde is reframed socially\, as an emphatically masculinist subculture; and music subcultures\, as the working-class-male counterpart\, take on the trappings of radical artistic experimentation.[/vc_column_text][vc_gallery type=”image_grid” images=”17152\,17150\,17149\,17143\,17144\,17145\,17146\,17148\,17142″ display_title_caption=”true” layout=”3″ masonry_style=”true” item_spacing=”default” gallery_style=”2″ load_in_animation=”none”][divider line_type=”No Line”][/vc_column][/vc_row] URL:https://www.msvuart.ca/exhibition/jason-w-f-fitzpatrick-bite-and-burn-encore/ CATEGORIES:Drawing & Printmaking,Film & Video ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://www.msvuart.ca/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/Bite-and-Burn-encore-performance-with-Jason-Fitzpatrick-Amber-Thorpe-tattooist-Dax-Morrison-printmaker-and-Stefan-Hancherow-print-runner-at-MSVU-Art-Gallery-on-10-January-09-4-2009.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20080329 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20080526 DTSTAMP:20260617T072921 CREATED:20190816T142430Z LAST-MODIFIED:20190816T142430Z UID:10000177-1206748800-1211759999@www.msvuart.ca SUMMARY:Chemistry DESCRIPTION:[vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” overlay_strength=”0.3″ shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_link_target=”_self” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column_text]Local artists Dan O’Neill and George Steeves recently made substantial donations to the University Collection.

The For Example exhibitions each incorporate works by three artists\, housed in identical\, separate vitrines. \nThe current exhibition draws attention to all-overness of composition\, and the density achieved by layering and distribution of motifs over a given pictorial field. Each work by Kim Moodie (a teeming\, edge-to-edge drawing)\, Jeannie Thib (stacked wood) and Joy Walker (silkscreened cloth) is housed in its own vitrine and must be viewed from above\, instead of in the traditional\, wall-mounted fashion. \nFor more than two decades\, London\, Ontario artist Kim Moodie has woven a personal vocabulary of imagery into complexly layered line drawings. His work finds a natural affinity with that of a new generation of artists who have returned to drawing as a primary practice. Inspired by classical painting\, Moodie’s unique imagery suggests Mexican “Day of the Dead” depictions\, medieval manuscript illuminations\, and underground comix. \nOrnament and pattern are the focus of Toronto artist Jeanne Thib’s installations\, sculptures\, print works and drawings. Historical designs\, altered through magnification and repetition\, are remade in altered forms using industrial materials. Motifs accumulated through cutting and stacking create nets and spills\, stepped landscapes and architectural models. These works invert the expected relationships between ornament and architecture\, culture and nature\, original and copy. \nJoy Walker is a Toronto textile artist who owns and operates WORK Textiles (since 1995)\, producing custom silkscreen printed fabrics. Her fabrics have been sold in retail stores throughout Canada and the U.S. Walker teaches in the Textile Department of Sheridan College\, Ontario. Micah Lexier notes that in Punctuation/Red Repeat: “Joy alternates the red and black motifs\, in some cases rotating them\, to generate a dense field that is both uniform and individuated…The work is deceptively simple\, yet maintains a dynamic tension between the distinctiveness of its individual elements and the consistency of its overall composition.” \nMeet the curator at the opening reception on Saturday\, June 23rd from 2:oopm to 5:00pm.[/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line”][vc_gallery type=”image_grid” images=”19052\,19053\,19054″ display_title_caption=”true” layout=”3″ masonry_style=”true” item_spacing=”default” gallery_style=”2″ load_in_animation=”none”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][/vc_column][/vc_row] URL:https://www.msvuart.ca/exhibition/for-example-moodie-thib-walker/ CATEGORIES:Design,Drawing & Printmaking,Textiles ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.msvuart.ca/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/Kim-Moodie-Untitled-detail-2006-Indian-Ink-on-paper.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20060715 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20061002 DTSTAMP:20260617T072921 CREATED:20190816T160956Z LAST-MODIFIED:20190816T161340Z UID:10000170-1152921600-1159747199@www.msvuart.ca SUMMARY:Roots & Shoots DESCRIPTION:[vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” overlay_strength=”0.3″ shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_link_target=”_self” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column_text]This exhibition draws out tendencies that circulate among the artists of Halifax Regional Municipality and its environs\, suggesting patterns of artistic affiliation as well as rifts.

One strategy was to flood the popular press with imagery that debunked religious superstition while promoting the emancipation of women and scientific practices in agriculture. Prominent artists such as Vladimir Mayakovsky and Aleksei Gan contributed images to the propaganda campaigns conducted in satirical and anti-religious journals. \nCanadian art historian Annie Gérin selected the Soviet journals\, posters\, photographs and film (1918-1939) from the holdings of the British collector David King. The exhibition offers a gripping study of tensions between religion and the modern state as played out in state-controlled mass media. Historians may want to draw comparisons with Quebec’s Quiet Revolution and the “faith-based” shift in US political rhetoric. \nA SPECIAL LECTURE by Annie Gérin will be held in the gallery on Sunday\, 14 November at 3 pm.

Her installation at MSVU Art Gallery will incorporate further drawings done directly on the gallery wall. \nOpened concurrently with Lecture Notes on Sunday 18 January; the artist attended.[/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line”][/vc_column][/vc_row] URL:https://www.msvuart.ca/exhibition/elizabeth-mackenzie-reunion/ CATEGORIES:Drawing & Printmaking,Feminisms,Gender & Sexuality END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20030208 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20030428 DTSTAMP:20260617T072921 CREATED:20190816T170157Z LAST-MODIFIED:20190816T170157Z UID:10000150-1044662400-1051487999@www.msvuart.ca SUMMARY:Like a Candle (Window Box) DESCRIPTION:[vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” overlay_strength=”0.3″ shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_link_target=”_self” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column_text]Like a Candle 1998 is an edition of wax figures (with wicks) of Princess Diana\, fabricated by Halifax artist Catherine Jones. The figures\, some of which were burned as votives on the anniversary of Diana’s death\, appear alongside the iconic Warhol screenprint Marilyn Monroe 1967. Like much of Andy Warhol’s production\, this exhibition articulates themes of celebrity and death as relayed in media culture.[/vc_column_text][vc_gallery type=”image_grid” images=”16806\,16805″ display_title_caption=”true” layout=”3″ masonry_style=”true” item_spacing=”default” gallery_style=”2″ load_in_animation=”none”][divider line_type=”No Line”][/vc_column][/vc_row] URL:https://www.msvuart.ca/exhibition/like-a-candle-window-box/ CATEGORIES:Drawing & Printmaking,Feminisms,Gender & Sexuality,Sculpture & Installation ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.msvuart.ca/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/Andy-Warhol.-Marilyn-Monroe-1967.-screenprint-2250-90.2-x-90.2-cm.-Collection-of-Museum-London-gift-of-Mr.-and-Mrs.-John-H.-Moore-through-the-Ontario-Heritage-Foundation-1980-1967.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20030111 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20030303 DTSTAMP:20260617T072921 CREATED:20190816T170406Z LAST-MODIFIED:20190816T170406Z UID:10000148-1042243200-1046649599@www.msvuart.ca SUMMARY:Shui-Buo Wang - Sunrise Over Tianamen Square DESCRIPTION:[vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” overlay_strength=”0.3″ shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_link_target=”_self” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column_text]In June 1989\, people around the world watched in horror as news footage showed Chinese government troops opening fire on demonstrators in Beijing’s Tianamen Square. Shui-Bo Wang was 28 when he took part in those protests. Today\, he is a filmmaker in Montreal and his biographical animated film Sunrise Over Tianamen Square was nominated for an Academy Award in 1999. The film and the drawings that went into its making are the subjects of this exhibition. \nWang’s story is the story of modern China as he chronicles his family history from the formation of the Chinese Communist Party through events leading up to the pro-democracy movement. Through a collage of original artwork\, archival and family photographs\, Wang’s documentary traces his growing disenchantment with Party ideology and his struggle to formulate a new artistic vision. \nDissident Cinema?\nChinese expatriate George Quan and Media Arts professor Bruce Barber discuss the film in the context of recent Chinese history and artistic activism. Join the discussion in the gallery and meet the speakers over coffee on Sunday\, February 16\, at 3:00pm.[/vc_column_text][vc_gallery type=”image_grid” images=”16797\,16796\,16795″ display_title_caption=”true” layout=”3″ masonry_style=”true” item_spacing=”default” gallery_style=”2″ load_in_animation=”none”][divider line_type=”No Line”][/vc_column][/vc_row] URL:https://www.msvuart.ca/exhibition/shui-buo-wang-sunrise-over-tianamen-square/ CATEGORIES:Drawing & Printmaking,Film & Video ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.msvuart.ca/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/Shui-Bo-Wang.-Sunrise-over-Tiananmen-Square-still-1999.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20020914 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20021028 DTSTAMP:20260617T072921 CREATED:20210202T162053Z LAST-MODIFIED:20210202T162053Z UID:10000212-1031961600-1035763199@www.msvuart.ca SUMMARY:In Another Place\, Part II Prospect 9: Lucie Chan DESCRIPTION:[vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” overlay_strength=”0.3″ shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_link_target=”_self” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” overlay_strength=”0.3″ column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column_text]In the art of Lucie Chan\, the implication of displacement and dispersal extends diasporic themes introduced in Lily Markiewicz’s installation. Chan has exhibited in Halifax with the Sister Visions collective and with Garry Neill Kennedy in Westward Ho. In keeping with the aims of the “Prospect” series\, this is her first solo exhibition in a public gallery. \nThe installation Something to Carry contains five booth-like structures\, three of which may be entered. Each paper enclosure is suspended from the ceiling. The “walls” are composed of ink-and-brush drawings on 8.5″ x 11″ bond paper\, glued together at the edges to form sheets 8 feet high by 3.5 to 6 feet wide. The walls of structures that can be entered are formed by a double thickness of drawings\, facing outward and inward. Some of drawings have been cut out and joined together to form lace-like veils. \nChan cuts up figure drawings and reassembles the parts to form a composite structure spanning floor to ceiling. The freely suspended webs of imagery evoke a spatial metaphor on home as “elsewhere.” The artist describes her process as “remembering and forgetting\,” and compares the effect of her installations to “entering someone else’s dream state.”[/vc_column_text][vc_gallery type=”image_grid” images=”17891\,17892\,17893\,17894″ display_title_caption=”true” layout=”3″ masonry_style=”true” item_spacing=”default” gallery_style=”2″ load_in_animation=”none”][/vc_column][/vc_row] URL:https://www.msvuart.ca/exhibition/in-another-place-part-ii-prospect-9-lucie-chan/ CATEGORIES:Drawing & Printmaking,Nova Scotian Artists,Sculpture & Installation ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.msvuart.ca/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Lucie-Chan-Prospect-9001.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20011103 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20011217 DTSTAMP:20260617T072921 CREATED:20190816T170457Z LAST-MODIFIED:20190816T170457Z UID:10000147-1004745600-1008547199@www.msvuart.ca SUMMARY:What is Church?

He drove through both provinces\, seeking out churches that are at least 100 years old\, and photographing their facades and interiors. \nThe exhibition is dominated by an 18-foot ink-jet digital print mural composed of photographs of 65 of the churches. The convergence of multi-channel video with music and the scanned and digitally manipulated images suggests the psychedelic equivalent of a Baroque church interior. In celebrating Maritimes community traditions\, David Askevold endows them with unearthly splendour.[/vc_column_text][vc_gallery type=”image_grid” images=”16792″ display_title_caption=”true” layout=”3″ masonry_style=”true” item_spacing=”default” gallery_style=”2″ load_in_animation=”none”][divider line_type=”No Line”][/vc_column][/vc_row] URL:https://www.msvuart.ca/exhibition/what-is-church-rural-churches-of-nova-scotia-and-prince-edward-island/ CATEGORIES:Drawing & Printmaking,Film & Video,Nova Scotian Artists ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.msvuart.ca/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/David-Askevold.-What-is-Church-Inkjet-mural-detail-2001.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20010624 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20010723 DTSTAMP:20260617T072921 CREATED:20190816T171042Z LAST-MODIFIED:20190816T171042Z UID:10000030-993340800-995846399@www.msvuart.ca SUMMARY:Charmaine DESCRIPTION:[vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” overlay_strength=”0.3″ shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_link_target=”_self” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column_text]Curator Cliff Eyland for Gallery 1.1.1\, Winnipeg \nRaised in Halifax\, Charmaine Wheatley took up residence in New York City after graduating from the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design.

Also on view are traces of the artist’s later performances in strip clubs and the chocolate Moonpies cast from her buttocks. \nArtist’s Talks\nVisitors had an opportunity to meet the “performance provocateuse” at the Gallery on Sunday\, June 24. The next day\, everyone was invited to attend the panel discussion\, “Talking with Charmaine\,” which was held at the Khyber Club\, 1588 Barrington Street.
