exhibition of new work by Kayza DeGraff-Ford showcases their recent digital experimentation in virtual reality programming. Part of an ongoing story within DeGraff-Ford’s practice\, this immersive installation features a cosmic aqua-portal via the humble entry point of bathroom plumbing. Channelling the literary genre of Magical Realism and exploring African diasporic and trans experiences\, Portals takes the viewer through a healing wormhole in time. The work was created during a residency organized by the Centre for Art Tapes and the Atlantic Filmmakers Cooperative\, funded through the Independent Media Arts Alliance Digital Skills for Youth program\, and presented in partnership with MSVU Art Gallery. Financial support from the Government of Canada is gratefully acknowledged.[/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” disable_element=”yes” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” gradient_type=”default” shape_type=””][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=”1/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”]\n \n \n \n Exhibition Information\n Kayza DeGraff-Ford: Portals\n https://www.msvuart.ca/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/3.-Kayza-DeGraff-Ford-Portals-Holy-Water-video-still-2023-1024x602.png\n ALL CATEGORIES\n \n \n https://www.msvuart.ca/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/Exhibition-Information.wav\n \n \n Artist Statement - Kayza DeGraff-Ford\n Kayza DeGraff-Ford: Portals\n https://www.msvuart.ca/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/3.-Kayza-DeGraff-Ford-Portals-Holy-Water-video-still-2023-1024x602.png\n ALL CATEGORIES\n \n \n https://www.msvuart.ca/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/Artist-Statement-Kayza-DeGraff-Ford.mp3\n \n \n About the Artist - Kayza DeGraff-Ford\n Kayza DeGraff-Ford: Portals\n https://www.msvuart.ca/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/3.-Kayza-DeGraff-Ford-Portals-Holy-Water-video-still-2023-1024x602.png\n ALL CATEGORIES\n \n \n https://www.msvuart.ca/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/About-the-Artist.wav\n \n \n No HTML5 audio playback capabilities for this browser.

Dugas set out to interpret the UNESCO-designated Fundy Biosphere. Working in reference to the historical Apollo 11 moon landing\, and seeing parallels with extraterrestrial landscapes\, LeBlanc and Dugas adopted the personae of astronauts to consider the relevance and beauty of their home planet from a different perspective. Over the course of three years\, LeBlanc and Dugas chronicled their exploration of this coastal area with recorded images\, sound and notes. Fundy presents this material in a video-installation\, accompanied by found objects\, props\, photographs\, and other documentation.

Dugas have worked collaboratively on media projects\, performances\, and writing since 1990. They also continue to carry out individual creative projects. While the range of their individual works varies according to social\, economic and philosophical concerns\, their collaborations often carry an ecological focus. The two have exhibited and presented widely throughout North America\, Europe\, and Australia. \nThe artists would like to thank all of the organizations and individuals that helped make this project possible\, including artsnb; the New Brunswick Department of Tourism\, Heritage and Culture; Webcore Labs Inc.; Maritime Window Film Specialists; and Acme Sign and Graphics.[/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=”1/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_gallery type=”image_grid” images=”19628\,19629\,19630\,19631\,19632\,19633\,19634\,19635\,19636\,19637\,19638\,19639\,19640″ image_grid_loading=”default” 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/valerie-leblanc-and-daniel-h-dugas-fundy/ CATEGORIES:Film & Video,Performance,Sculpture & Installation ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.msvuart.ca/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/3-Old-Farm-Lane.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20210315 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20210517 DTSTAMP:20260515T100812 CREATED:20210119T191839Z LAST-MODIFIED:20220811T131724Z UID:10000129-1615766400-1621209599@www.msvuart.ca SUMMARY:Tactics for Staying Home in Uncertain Times 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_spacing=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ 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” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text]Please note: This is an online exhibition\, as the galleries at MSVU Art Gallery continue to be closed to the public until further notice.\n \nThe COVID-19 pandemic\, now approaching its first full year in Canada\, has radically centered home as the site of daily life. The question of home (namely “what and where is home?”) is made no simpler by this fact. Indeed\, this crisis has exacerbated existing inequalities and precarity in housing access. Co-opting the language of public health directives to stay home and shelter in place\, Tactics for Staying Home in Uncertain Times invites viewers to consider the meanings of home through the lens of diaspora. This exhibition asks\, how do we stay home when home is away? How do we make here feel like home? \nTactics brings together five emerging Black\, Indigenous and racialized (BIPOC) artists living across Canada whose works articulate ideas of displacement\, domesticity\, and the limits of belonging. By tracing connections to present and past homes\, the artists render visible everyday gestures that enable feelings of belonging and solidarity across complex and diverse communities. The featured works borrow from the fabric of lived experience: familiar fruit\, objects of utility and comfort\, the light of an electronic screen. In recreating a domestic space that is unique and yet familiar\, Tactics reveals common ground on their shared experience of making home in times of global crisis. The exhibition includes work by rudi aker\, Cinthia Arias Auz\, Michelle Campos Castillo\, Bishara Elmi\, and Camila Salcedo.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Liuba González de Armas is Halifax’s “Young Curator”\, a position made possible by funds from the Canadian Museum Association’s Shirley L.

In this one-hour film\, Phillips dismantles and studies the movement from wood to dust\, damp paper to mold and ponders the house folding back into the land and sea. Phillips’ performance constantly seeks evidence of dissolving boundaries\, thingness\, history and intersubjectivity of space\, place and species. Through the poetics of the ruin\, The Quoddy Fold is an interrogation of dwelling and landscape giving space to entertain the ecological\, cultural and societal anxieties surrounding impermanence. \n[/vc_column_text][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=”2/3″ 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]\nAbout the Artist\nPaulette Phillips’ work deals with the relationship between viewer and subject\, focusing on witnessing\, looking and reflection.

bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column_text]Among All These Tundras\, a title taken from the poem​ My Home is in My Heart by famed Sámi writer Nils-Aslak Valkeapää\, features contemporary art by Indigenous artists from around the circumpolar world. Together\, their works politically and poetically express current Arctic concerns towards land\, language\, sovereignty and resurgence. Artists from throughout the circumpolar north share kinship with each other and their ancestors\, love for their homelands\, and respect for the land and its inhabitants. Yet they also share histories of colonialism and experience its ongoing legacies and are united in their desire to protect northern ecologies\, languages\, peoples and knowledge from the nefarious effects of climate change\, encroaching industry and competition. These resistance efforts do not merely express\, they give shape to a collective ecology of care\, a “decolonial love” (in the words of Leanne Simpson and others) that is both generous and generative. These works invite viewers to contemplate relationships between textual and embodied Indigenous knowledges\, innovation and sustainability\, humour and resilience\, and our collective responsibility to northern life and land. \nOrganized and circulated by the Leonard & Bina Ellen Art Gallery / Concordia University \nThis exhibition was cancelled due to MSVU Art Gallery’s closure in response to

Megan Kyak-Monteith is a recent graduate of NSCAD from Mittimatalik (Pond Inlet)\, NU who lives and works in Halifax. In her painting\, Kyak-Monteith often combines images from her memory with stories shared with her by others. This new animation brings her painting to life\, merging the labour of community endeavor (here\, the whale hunt) with the work of turning still images into moving ones. \nThis exhibition ended early due to MSVU Art Gallery’s closure in resonse to COVID-19\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit”

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. The generational mix of the artists (indicated by the dates of their Talent Trust scholarships) ranges from 1979 to 2016—a span of 37 years. The exhibition includes work by Jordan Broadworth\, Sandra Brownlee\, Lux Habrich\, Sara Hartland-Rowe\, Dan O’Neill\, Lucy Pullen\, Pamela Ritchie\, Despo Sophocleous\, Emily Vey Duke\, and Charley Young. \nOrganized by MSVU Art Gallery in partnership with Cape Breton University Art Gallery and the Art Gallery of Nova Scotia. The Nova Scotia Talent Trust and partner galleries recognize the support of the Province of Nova Scotia through the Department of Communities\, Culture and Heritage.[/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/338435994″][/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=”18704″ 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=”/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/Catalogue-_correctedfinal-accessible-1.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]\nMaking and Mentoring\nWednesday\, July 24 at 6:00pm \nIn conjunction with First You Dream: Celebrating 75 Years of the Nova Scotia Talent Trust\, MSVU Art Gallery is hosting a panel discussion on the topic of mentorship with artists Lux Habrich\, Dan O’Neill and Pamela Ritchie.

column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column_text]Born in Kahnawa:ke Mohawk Territory\, Skawennati creates Indigenous virtual environments addressing history\, the future and change.  Teiakwanahstahsontéhrha’ | We Extend the Rafters frames the machinima The Peacemaker Returns\, a futuristic saga set in 3025\, yet firmly rooted in the ancestral Haudenosaunee confederation story. This machinima is an animation-style film produced on the virtual reality platform Second Life.  The Peacemaker Returns was designed specifically for children aged 5 to 11 but visitors of all ages are invited to explore traditions and imagine the world of tomorrow in this “museum of the future.” The bilingual title of the exhibition—in Kanien’kéha (Mohawk) and in English—refers to the action of “extending the rafters” of a longhouse. These traditional Indigenous structures would be lengthened to make room for new generations or even other families. The artist chose this title to encompass the broader notion of acceptance and inclusion of differences\, in the spirit of Respect\, Unity and Peace. \nThis exhibition was produced by Vox: centre de l’image contemporaine in partnership with Aboriginal Territories in Cyberspace and Obx Labs with financial support of the Conseil des arts et des lettres du Quebec\, the Quebec Ministry of Culture and Communications and the City of Montreal under the Agreement on the Cultural Development of Montreal\, as well as the Community Fund for Canada’s 150th. The exhibition tour benefits from financial support from the Canada Council for the Arts.[/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” 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=”1/2″ 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]\nFamily Day\nSaturday\, May 4 at 1:00-3:00pm \nMSVU Art Gallery invites you to time travel with your kids!

A dancing figure in the form of a spiraling flurry of silk moves from one panel to another. As the dancer traverses the ring\, it appears that the viewer and the figure share the same physical space.

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]The exhibition is a production of The Power Plant Contemporary Art Gallery\, Toronto in partnership with Southern Alberta Art Gallery\, Lethbridge; Galerie de l’UQAM\, Montréal; Mount Saint Vincent University Art Gallery\, Halifax; and Canadian Cultural Centre\, Paris. It was sponsored by TD Bank Group and supported by Julia & Robert Foster. \nObjects contain meanings beyond their materiality\, meanings that we bring to them or receive from them. Objects are the result of an action\, entail a trace of a human gesture and trigger reactions and memories. They have the potential to be read collectively or personally. In her artistic practice\, Hupfield reveals the inter-relational potential triggered by objects between humans or cultural environments. \nHupfield’s new two-channel video installation\, The One Who Keeps On Giving\, gathers around an object: an oil painting of a seascape by the artist’s late mother who painted it as a young woman and signed it as Peggy Miller. It is this personal narrative that informs a performance\, which took place in Parry Sound\, Ontario on Georgian Bay—the setting that is also depicted on the canvas. Hupfield invited her siblings to contribute to this performance\, which surrounds the memory evoked by the painting. To ground the filmed performance and to accompany the painting in the exhibition context\, the contributors re-enacted the performance within the gallery space at The Power Plant\, the setting of the second film. \nAlongside Hupfield’s new commission\, the exhibition features a selection of objects that have been activated regularly in performances over recent years: a canoe\, a snowsuit\, a snowmobile helmet\, mitts and boots\, a cassette recorder with headphones\, a light bulb and seven items solicited from individuals. All of these objects are replicated in felt and displayed alongside a selection of films within an environment of wooden structures. \nIn the film It Is Never Just about Sustenance or Pleasure\, Hupfield is wearing custom-made mitts and boots to cover her extremities while walking through the desert of Santa Fe where there was once a waterway. The forms of the objects – not their material – reference wetlands. The gloves are based on contemporary snowmobiling and traditional moose hide mitts for hunting\, while the boots recall rubber hip-waders worn for river fly fishing. These objects\, which are grounded in regionally specific lifestyles\, appear de-contextualized and serve as tools for acknowledging the desert’s past and the need for adaptability in the face of global climate change. \nIn her performance Contain that Force\, Hupfield activates seven objects that she received from seven artists in a gesture of social exchange. Some of them – the tape\, the photograph and the two texts – are by nature representatives of something that lies outside of their materiality; for example\, the tape captures a sound\, the photograph is an extract of reality and the two texts tell a story. Hupfield uses felt because she considers it to be neutral. The meanings of her objects unfold beyond their material limitations. \nThe title of the exhibition and the new commission is an English translation of Maria Hupfield’s mother’s Anishinaabe name. \nThe exhibition is a production of The Power Plant Contemporary Art Gallery\, Toronto in partnership with Southern Alberta Art Gallery\, Lethbridge; Galerie de l’UQAM\, Montréal; Mount Saint Vincent University Art Gallery\, Halifax; and Canadian Cultural Centre\, Paris. It was sponsored by TD Bank Group and supported by Julia & Robert Foster. \nMaria Hupfield (born 1975 in Parry Sound\, Georgian Bay\, Ontario) is a member of Wasauksing First Nation\, Ontario\, and is currently based in Brooklyn\, New York.

Moser writes and acts out fragmented texts\, combining language with everyday materials\, which are used as props\, and audio excerpts pulled from popular culture. These incongruous elements destabilize her props’ typical purpose and allow Moser to alternate between states of criticality and humour. There is an inherent struggle in Moser’s work as she attempts to reach an accord between herself and “things\,” whether objects or ideas. The resulting artworks are affective\, entertaining and wildly unpredictable. \nPERFORMANCE & OPENING RECEPTION\nSaturday\, June 6\, 2:00pm. Join us for a performance by Moser at the exhibition’s opening reception.

Apart from illuminating body image issues and other details of women’s lives\, these works hold in common a distinctive “aniconism”— the avoidance of figurative depictions of women’s bodies. They exemplify a critical tendency in Second-Wave feminist art-making\, the commitment to engage with women’s subjectivity while at the same time refusing to depict women’s bodies as objects of “the gaze”. The constraints entailed by this aesthetics of refusal have prompted some of the most compelling and imaginative works of art produced in Nova Scotia in the last thirty years.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][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_gallery type=”image_grid” images=”15073\,15072\,15062″ 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/an-intimate-distance/ LOCATION:E.

Passages to Abstraction. Geneviève Cadieux 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]Organized and circulated by the Musée d’art de Joliette with financial support from the Museum Assistance Program\, Department of Canadian Heritage. \nThis exhibition encompasses 27 years of production by Canadian artist Geneviève Cadieux\, who works primarily with photography and its associated techniques. The complete exhibition is divided into two parts. The earliest works are presented at MSVU Art Gallery in Part I: Ravissement (1985) and La blessure d’une cicatrice ou Les Anges (1987). Part II\, with works dating from 1987 through 2012\, may be viewed at Dalhousie Art Gallery. \nIn much of her work\, Cadieux explores the emotional implications of seeing and being seen. She was one of the first Canadian artists to explore the gaze\, a psychoanalytic term used to describe acts of looking caught up in the dynamics of\ndesire. Cadieux simultaneously invites and frustrates the gaze by rendering visual signifiers as enigmatic or unstable in their meaning. In Part I\, Cadieux achieves this effect by obscuring details of appropriated images and juxtaposing appropriated\nand original photographs\, all of the human figure. Curator Vincent Bonin’s selection directs our attention to works in which abstract passages interrupt representation to “create a breach in the real.” \nOPENING RECEPTION: Join us Saturday\, May 2\, for opening receptions and exhibition tours led by Geneviève Cadieux and Vincent Bonin\, curator.

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:20081025 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20081215 DTSTAMP:20260515T100813 CREATED:20190816T141651Z LAST-MODIFIED:20190816T141651Z UID:10000183-1224892800-1229299199@www.msvuart.ca SUMMARY:Prospect 13: The Encounter by Suzanne Caines 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 is the 13th of the Prospect exhibitions\, which feature artists in the emergent stages of their careers.

Cumming’s work deliberately attacks the objectivity claimed by traditional documentary media. His disturbingly intimate images have been influenced by Artaud’s “theatre of cruelty\,” Surrealism and cinéma vérité\, among other historical art forms. Robert Enright comments that\, “there are times when Cumming’s work is almost unwatchably abject. What retrieves it…is its humour\, as dark as it is.” \nCumming works with a committed group of friends\, models and professional actors. His videos deploy fictional monologues by the artist and his subjects\, plus sing alongs and reminiscence to explore themes of loss and alienation. Together with selected videos (1996-2005) and the photo installation The Stage (1990)\, the exhibition contains two new 8 x 14-foot photo-collages (Prologue and Epilogue) that transform Cumming’s earlier\, intimate material into epic narratives with biblical overtones. As the artist describes them\, “these dense collages are a collective portrait of the community that I’ve been working with for twenty years.” \nIn her essay\, Cultural Studies scholar Jackie Davis analyzes the Christian rhetoric that pervades much of Cumming’s video production\, as well as the compositions of Prologue and Epilogue (2005). \nFinancial support from the Canada Council for the Arts is gratefully acknowledged.[/vc_column_text][vc_gallery type=”image_grid” images=”17092\,17093\,17094\,17095\,17096\,17097\,17098\,17099\,17100″ 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/donigan-cumming-ex-votos/ CATEGORIES:Film & Video,Photography ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.msvuart.ca/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/Donigan-Cumming-Epilogue-2005-collage-and-encaustic-on-wooden-panel-Courtesy-of-the-artist-2005.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20080405 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20080602 DTSTAMP:20260515T100813 CREATED:20190816T142348Z LAST-MODIFIED:20190816T142348Z UID:10000178-1207353600-1212364799@www.msvuart.ca SUMMARY:Kelly Mark: Stupid Heaven 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]Organized by the JM Barnicke Gallery\, University of Toronto \nAn interest in everyday moments and time-filling activity is mixed in Mark’s work with deadpan humour and self-deprecatory purpose. The artist studied at NSCAD and had her first curated exhibition at MSVU Gallery in 1995\, before moving to Toronto. Since then she has become an internationally respected neo-conceptualist\, particularly renowned for her task-oriented approach to artmaking and her use of vernacular practices such as sampling and mash-up. \nStupid Heaven presents key works from Mark’s past twelve years of production\, including drawing\, sculpture\, video\, performance\, audio\, multiples and television-based projects. \nIn Hiccup\, a multi-channel video-recorded performance\, the artist is seen spending an identical amount of time doing exactly the same thing in the same location over several days\, thus highlighting the constancy of change–in weather\, light\, traffic\, passersby–around her. Mark uses her work and her presence as a frame through which to witness the flux of time\, events\, and ritual endeavour. \nRecent pieces focus on television\, the medium that consumes time as no other. Rather than taking issue with televisual content\, Mark draws attention to an oblique aspect of its presence by making installations that consist simply of the flickering glow characteristic of specific program genres\, such porn and romance. The exhibition culminates with the new video mash-up REM\, culled from 170 broadcast TV sources\, and edited together in a tour-de-force\, dream-like narrative. The story is shaped as though to wrest meaning out of the experience of channel-surfing\, including attention-span disorder\, which might be the temporal condition of television watching. \nOPENING RECEPTION You and your friends are cordially invited to meet the artists and attend the opening reception on Saturday\, April 5 at 7:30pm. The free chartered bus leaves 5163 Duke Street at 7:15pm and departs from MSVU at 8:30pm. \nThe exhibition catalogue is a co-publication of Justina M.

Her preference for salt shakers\, cutlery and paper napkins may be traced to her experience as a food service worker. \nThe MSVU Art Gallery hosted Mark’s first solo exhibition in 1995\, and acquired several pieces of her art for the university’s permanent collection\, including 144 White Jars and Connect the Dots\, both featured in this current exhibition. Since then the gallery has included her work in shows such as Beyond Words\, Work Work Work and in 2004 invited her to organize Free Sample\, which featured art by young artists from across Canada. \nConnect the Dots brings together Mark’s mixed-media art with that of two other artists—Gerald Ferguson and Shaun Gough—whose careers intersect with hers. Both Mark and Gough studied under Ferguson\, a NSCAD instructor whose process-oriented approach to painting and conscious avoidance of aesthetic decision-making characterizes both his practice and 10\,000 Grapes\, a painting created using rollers and stencils\, which the university acquired in 1998. \nSean Gough’s 300 Artists’ Names\, acquired in 1995\, reveals a similar investment in automated process—in this case a computerized “spell-check” program applied to well-known artists’ names. The software’s dedicated linguistic function results in substitutions of recognized words for familiar monikers (Salvador Dali is renamed Salvador Dally\, Frank Stella becomes Frank Stealer)\, revealing an amusing detachment from art fame. \nThis same disinterest in human celebrity emerges in Kelly Mark’s War Pigs video\, which depicts a cat sleeping soundly between two speakers playing top-10 hits. The art academy\, too\, comes under attack\, in Mark’s selection of everyday objects grouped carefully and displayed in museum style. \nThe University’s permanent collection is closely linked to the curatorial objectives of the MSVU Art Gallery’s exhibition program; hence the rationale behind mounting small group shows documented in small\, accessibly written free catalogues. It is our hope that Connect the Dots creates opportunities for the discovery of new insights into the works of these three artists.[/vc_column_text][vc_gallery type=”image_grid” images=”17041\,17039\,17038\,17036″ 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/connect-the-dots/ CATEGORIES:Film & Video,Painting ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://www.msvuart.ca/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/Kelly-Mark-144-White-Jars-1993-Mason-jars-filled-with-white-materials-Collection-Mount-Saint-Vincent-University-Purchase-1995.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20061014 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20061127 DTSTAMP:20260515T100814 CREATED:20190816T144517Z LAST-MODIFIED:20190816T144517Z UID:10000171-1160784000-1164585599@www.msvuart.ca SUMMARY:Pulse: Film & Painting After the Image 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 collective La Femme 100 Têtes\, in collaboration with Mount Saint Vincent University Art Gallery\, presents Pulse: Film and Painting After the Image\, co-curated by Ingrid Jenkner and Barbara Sternberg\, in consultation with Gerda Cammaer. \nPulse brings experimental film into dialogue with contemporary abstract painting by presenting the two art forms adjacent to one another in the same gallery space. The films were selected for their tendencies to dismantle the stability of the representational image\, or to dispense with it altogether. The paintings match these tendencies by emphasizing optical vibration\, repetition\, rhythm\, layering and blurring of figure-ground distinctions. While traditional narrative cinema and representational painting offer fixed images\, the selections in Pulse bring out the counterimage (and afterimage) of process. The prevailing aesthetic is pulsatile–similar to that of blinking neon signs or the strobe effects of video games. This optically active environment emphasizes the shared concerns of artists who work in time-based and space-based media. \nFilmmakers: Christina Battle\, Vincent Grenier\, Emmanual LeFrant\,\nRose Lowder\, Frederic Worden \nPainters: Cora Cluett\, Stephen Fisher\, Nicole Collins\, Angela Leach\, Monica Tap\,\nShirley Wiitasalo \nOPENING RECEPTION Sunday\, October 15 at 2:00pm with informal talk by Barbara Sternberg\, filmmaker and member of La Femme 100 Têtes curatorial collective.

It provides an array of acoustic\, tactile and visual stimuli\, but contains no verbal components. At floor level\, acoustically active inflatables invite touching as well as listening. Overhead\, a monumental video projection depicts the floating draperies and repetitive movements of a woman who is submerged in water. \nAs in previous works\, Glynis Humphrey evokes a sensuous\, yet monstrous feminine presence that can be both threateningly and appealingly immersive.

He has exhibited and performed throughout Canada and internationally. Through public interventions and gallery installations\, Fernandes generates social situations that solicit active participation by others. His work probes the intersection of private life with public space\, and the relationship between art and everyday life\, by combining linguistic and performance events with humour. \nRoom of Fears is composed of expressions of fear submitted by members of the public via e-mail and through ballot boxes distributed around Halifax. The fears were collected over the course of one month\, then transcribed onto the gallery walls by the artist and his assistants. The writing forms a blackboard-like graffiti of anonymous voices\, working both to amplify and to dispel the spectators’ anxieties. \nIn an adjacent space\, Fixing Room displays items submitted to the gallery in response to an open call\, for “things you never got round to fixing\, things that are broken.” The “fixed” items call attention to the modern-day impulse to pathologize\, as played out in our relationship with the objects in our lives. \nSupport from the Canada Council for the Arts is gratefully appreciated.[/vc_column_text][vc_gallery type=”image_grid” images=”16948\,16946\,16947\,16950\,16949\,16944\,16945\,16943\,16942″ 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/michael-fernandes-room-of-fears-and-fixing-room/ CATEGORIES:Film & Video,Nova Scotian Artists,Sculpture & Installation ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.msvuart.ca/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/Bank-Robbers-performance-with-Michael-Fernandes-and-Nancy-Prior-6-April-2006.-Documented-by-Barbara-Sternberg-2006.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20040114 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20040301 DTSTAMP:20260515T100814 CREATED:20190816T165207Z LAST-MODIFIED:20190816T165207Z UID:10000158-1074038400-1078099199@www.msvuart.ca SUMMARY:Lecture Notes 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]With works in various media by Michael Fernandes\, Rainer Ganahl\, Mike Hein\, Suzy Lake\, John Marriott\, Lani Maestro and Adrian Piper\, Lecture Notes has plenty to say about the giving and receiving of lectures.

Each piece incorporates printed or handwritten text in ways that defeat a simple reading response. Letter forms\, cursive script and printed pages are transformed into sensuous\, enigmatic\, and even illicit “material.” Letraset collage\, pulled threads\, sandblasted glass\, recorded sound and video\, are some of the media represented. In order to read these works\, viewers must pay attention to form and materials\, in addition to the text. Verbal unintelligibility becomes part of the overall meaning. \nSome of the works voice languages other than English\, such as Cree\, Hebrew and French. Indian Act\, by the Algonkin-Québécoise artist Nadia Myre\, and Word for Word by Ruth Cuthand and Elizabeth MacKenzie\, also dramatize cultural assimilation and language loss. To make Indian Act\, for example\, Myre downloaded the text of “The Indian Act” and invited friends and relatives to replace each letter on the page with a white bead. The remainder of each page was to be filled with red beads. The resulting refusal to communicate in shared cultural terms eloquently talks back to the legislation. \nBy pulling coloured threads through gauze\, Sylvia Ptak achieves a remarkable facsimile of manuscript pages. The sense of her work rests on its uncanny mimicry of authoritative paper documents\, which it replaces with a silent countertext. Rober Racine’s Signatures sonores and Dessins also set up a correspondence between handwriting (autographs collected during the “Radio Rethink” residency at Banff) and its representation\, through the whispering recorded sound of the writing. \nKelly Mark brings out the strangeness of language by associating it with formalist art styles of the past. To compose her black and white “drawings\,” Mark uses salvaged Letraset\, a type of self-adhesive vinyl lettering\, as though letters and punctuation were abstract design elements. Paul de Guzman goes further\, by laboriously excising the linguistic elements from monographs on the artists Roni Horn\, Raymond Pettibon and Doris Salcedo. Through an extraordinary displacement that is nevertheless a tribute\, the encased husks of these books are transformed into an intricate architecture. \nThe works of Gilbert Boyer are inspired by structures containing words\, ranging from tefillin (phylacteries) or prayers encased in boxes\, used in Jewish ritual\, to electronic communications framed by the luminous screen of the computer. His poetic inscriptions fuse the ephemerality of the spoken word with the conventions of the commemorative monument.[/vc_column_text][vc_gallery type=”image_grid” images=”16843\,16844\,16845\,16846\,16847\,16848″ 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/beyond-words/ CATEGORIES:Film & Video,Textiles ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.msvuart.ca/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/Beyond-Words.-Installation-view-3-MSVU-Art-Gallery-2003.jpg END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
