Born in Africville\, she moved to Montreal in 1898\, where she took painting lessons\, according to members of her family. She showed an exceptional talent at a young age. In 1914 she married William Henry Brown\, after relocating back to the Brown family homestead. Despite her talent she did not pursue a career as an artist or exhibit publicly\, sharing her works only with her family. The few surviving paintings by MacDonald-Brown count among the earliest examples of fine art produced by an African Canadian woman in Canada.[/vc_column_text][/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=”1/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” column_padding_type=”default” gradient_type=”default”][divider line_type=”No Line”][vc_column_text css=”” text_direction=”default”]\nAbout the Curator\nDavid Woods is a self-taught artist\, curator\, playwright and poet from Dartmouth NS who has been a forefront of the Black Nova Scotian arts scene for over four decades.

an immersive exhibition by Kjipuktuk (Halifax)-based artist Tyshan Wright. Following their forced exile after the Second Maroon War with the British\, Jamaican Maroons were exiled to Mi’kma’ki and the British colony of Nova Scotia in 1796. Despite sustained resistance and protest\, the majority of Maroons departed Nova Scotia centuries ago\, however\, many Maroon descendants still live in this province where the legacy of Maroon culture endures. In this exhibition\, Tyshan Wright creates a staged Maroon house and settlement that includes expertly handcrafted iterations of the ceremonial and everyday domestic objects that Maroons were forced to leave behind in Jamaica\, as well as those they use today. This staged settlement imagines Jamaican Maroons and Maroon life thriving across time and place. Maroon Town celebrates historic Maroon resilience and present-day acts of sovereignty that build a vibrant and connected tomorrow for Maroon descendants.[/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” 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]\nAbout the Curator\nJulie Hollenbach is a queer\, white-settler artist\, curator\, and cultural historian teaching craft histories and material cultures on unceded Mi’kmaq territory at NSCAD University.[/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”][vc_column_text]\nAbout the Artist\nKjipuktuk (Halifax)-based artist Tyshan Wright works at the intersection of contemporary art and traditional Jamaican Maroon culture and craft.

MSVU Art Gallery Collections Assistant\, Kelsey McLaughlin\, and Gallery Technician\, David Dahms\, will transfer select artworks from storage to the Gallery in order to photograph each piece and update collection records. The focus will be on works by Alice Egan Hagen (1872-1972)\, a renowned Nova Scotian ceramicist and MSVU alumna. The university’s permanent collection holds over 100 paintings and ceramics by Alice Egan Hagen\, which were donated to the school by the artist in 1966. \nThis documentation work by Kelsey and David will take place in the Gallery\, alongside a selection of paintings by Alice Egan Hagen and other artists from the permanent collection. \n  \nAbout Alice Egan Hagen\n\nAlice Hagen was born in Halifax to Lieutenant-Colonel Thomas Egan and his wife Margaret. Starting in 1882\, she studied at the Mount Saint Vincent Academy and later enrolled in the Victoria School of Art and Design. In the 1890s\, Hagen studied with the Nova Scotia artist Bessie Brown and later with Adelaide Alsop Robineau\, the American painter and potter\, in New York. While she worked in both oils and watercolours\, china painting was her first passion. By 1896 she had acquired a sufficient degree of fame to be 1 of 16 artists commissioned to paint a state dinner service for the Governor General. Hagen is considered to be the founder of the studio pottery movement in Nova Scotia although it was only in 1931\, at the age of 60 and after a tour of Europe\, that she set up her own pottery studio and kiln in Mahone Bay. She studied with Robert Prescott\, a potter located in Lantz\, Nova Scotia\, and began to work with local clays. She remained an active potter into her 90s.[/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line”][divider line_type=”No Line”][/vc_column][/vc_row] URL:https://www.msvuart.ca/exhibition/documenting-the-permanent-collection-work-s-on-view/ CATEGORIES:Nova Scotian Artists ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.msvuart.ca/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/1966.1.45-AEH-scaled-e1667339250791.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20220101 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20240101 DTSTAMP:20260411T135539 CREATED:20210216T125127Z LAST-MODIFIED:20221103T165007Z UID:10000132-1640995200-1704067199@www.msvuart.ca SUMMARY:Mike MacDonald's Butterfly Garden Revisited 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]Inspired by his encounters with butterflies and their connection to medicine plants and healing\, the late Mi’kmaw artist Mike MacDonald created butterfly gardens as spaces of care and coexistence. With tender attentiveness to the land and its inhabitants\, MacDonald planted these gardens across the land known as Canada from 1995-2003. He also created a series of accompanying video works\, using his documentation of the gardens and their butterflies. One of the first gardens was located on the Mount Saint Vincent University campus as part of the 1997 exhibition Digital Garden. Since 2019\, MSVU Art Gallery has been in conversation with curator Lisa Myers and the Finding Flowers project\, seeking to renew the quiet\, contemplative nature of Mike’s work through revisiting and re-planting his original butterfly garden.

MSVU Art Gallery is wanting to re-build the garden with the help of others who share those values and a love of plants. If you would like to donate a plant\, in the form of a small transplant from your garden\, germinated seeds\, or other form of plant sharing\, it would be most welcome. Each garden that Mike created was unique and this re-planting will include the same plants as the original. We have already secured donations for a number of plants but are still hoping to find a few more – if you would like to donate a plant from the list below\, please contact claire.dykhuis@msvu.ca (before June 30 if possible) and indicate which plant you would like to offer to the garden. Please visit MSVU Art Gallery’s Instagram account for images of these plants.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default”

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.

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.

Specially made for this exhibition\, her four woven works respond to or “echo” MSVU campus buildings\, prompting viewers to perceive analogies between weaving and architecture.  Three of the works incorporate loom-controlled leno lace\, a weave in which the warp ends wrap around each other to produce a twisted-lace effect.  The loosely woven fabric allows light to penetrate from both sides and casts complex\, dappled shadows. The components of the exhibition are touchable\, and visitors are invited to interact with a compact\, four-harness hand-loom.[/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”][/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]\nAudio Companion\n[/vc_column_text]\n \n \n \n Introduction\n Christiane Poulin: Echoes\n https://www.msvuart.ca/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/2.-Echoes.jpg\n ALL CATEGORIES\n \n \n https://www.msvuart.ca/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/Introduction-1.mp3\n \n \n Echo 1: Reflection\n Christiane Poulin: Echoes\n https://www.msvuart.ca/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/2.-Echoes.jpg\n ALL CATEGORIES\n \n \n https://www.msvuart.ca/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/Echo-1-Reflection.mp3\n \n \n Echo 2: Deconstruction\n Christiane Poulin: Echoes\n https://www.msvuart.ca/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/2.-Echoes.jpg\n ALL CATEGORIES\n \n \n https://www.msvuart.ca/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/Echo-2-Deconstruction.mp3\n \n \n Echo 3: Access\n Christiane Poulin: Echoes\n https://www.msvuart.ca/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/2.-Echoes.jpg\n ALL CATEGORIES\n \n \n https://www.msvuart.ca/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/Echo-3-Access.mp3\n \n \n Echo 4: Growth\n Christiane Poulin: Echoes\n https://www.msvuart.ca/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/2.-Echoes.jpg\n ALL CATEGORIES\n \n \n https://www.msvuart.ca/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/Echo-4-Growth.mp3\n \n \n No HTML5 audio playback capabilities for this browser.

precious and prized belongings\, and for leisure and relaxation. 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. Financial support for this performance from Arts Nova Scotia is gratefully acknowledged.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit”

bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column_text]Drawn from the MSVU Collection\, these works of art incorporate household textiles such as bedding\, a tea towel\, table linens and discarded clothing. The domestic references are embedded in works whose imagery also engages with gender politics and world events. \nThe various artists share a collage approach to composition\, and their works display techniques ranging from assemblage\, dying\, printing and hooking to embroidery\, appliqué\, stuffing and stitching. Frances Dorsey\, Nancy Edell\, Svava Juliusson\, Leslie Sampson and Anna Torma are the contributing artists. Dorsey’s Shot through the Heart is a recently acquired fabric assemblage that has not previously been exhibited.[/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line”][/vc_column][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=”1/2″ 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]\nExhibition Audio Companion\n[/vc_column_text]\n \n \n \n Intro\n Material Remains\n https://www.msvuart.ca/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/MaterialRemainsFeatured-1024x563.jpg\n ALL CATEGORIES\n \n \n http://www.msvuart.ca/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/1-Material-Remains.mp3\n \n \n Frances Dorsey\n Material Remains\n https://www.msvuart.ca/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/1.-Frances-Dorsey-1024x985.jpg\n ALL CATEGORIES\n \n \n http://www.msvuart.ca/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/2-Material-Remains-Dorsey.mp3\n \n \n Leslie Sampson\n Material Remains\n https://www.msvuart.ca/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/3.-Lelie-Sampson-857x1024.jpg\n ALL CATEGORIES\n \n \n http://www.msvuart.ca/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/3-Material-Remains-Sampson.mp3\n \n \n Nancy Edell\n Material Remains\n https://www.msvuart.ca/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/2.-Nancy-Edell-704x1024.jpg\n ALL CATEGORIES\n \n \n http://www.msvuart.ca/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/4-Material-Remains-Edell.mp3\n \n \n Svava Juliusson\n Material Remains\n https://www.msvuart.ca/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/svava_juliusson_blanket_sacrifice_enl.jpg\n ALL CATEGORIES\n \n \n http://www.msvuart.ca/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/5-Material-Remains-Juliasson.mp3\n \n \n Anna Torma\n Material Remains\n https://www.msvuart.ca/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/4.-Anna-Torma-827x1024.jpg\n ALL CATEGORIES\n \n \n http://www.msvuart.ca/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/6-Material-Remains-Torma.mp3\n \n \n No HTML5 audio playback capabilities for this browser.

Colosimo’s principal practice is drawing; Young favours drawing and indexical techniques\, such as casting and monoprinting. For both\, materials and process are key determinants of the meaning of their works. 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:20141213 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20150309 DTSTAMP:20260411T135539 CREATED:20190815T132344Z LAST-MODIFIED:20190815T140154Z UID:10000070-1418428800-1425859199@www.msvuart.ca SUMMARY:Prospect 17: Joanna Close 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 17th of the Prospect exhibitions\, which showcase the works of selected Nova Scotian artists during the early stages of their careers.

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:20130316 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20130522 DTSTAMP:20260411T135539 CREATED:20190815T182926Z LAST-MODIFIED:20190815T183826Z UID:10000196-1363392000-1369180799@www.msvuart.ca SUMMARY:Chromophilia 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]From time to time\, MSVU Art Gallery presents exhibitions of art drawn from the Mount Saint Vincent University Collection. In this grouping of recent acquisitions\, the importance of colour is the quality shared by otherwise disparate works. “Chromophilia” means “love of colour.” \nThe selection of works by Nova Scotian artists and artisans includes encaustic paintings by Peter Dykhuis\, ceramics by Lucky Rabbit Pottery (Debra Kuzyk and Ray Mackie) and textiles by Suzanne Swannie.\nOver the centuries\, including the twentieth\, colour in art has been disparaged as “superficial” or “cosmetic” by certain Western critics and theorists. In his book Chromophobia\, David Batchelor describes the many attempts to purge colour by characterizing it as symptomatic of a corrupting influence—such as the oriental\, the feminine\, the infantile\, the vulgar\, or the pathological. One prominent educator at the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design went so far as to advocate black and white as “the look of intelligent art.” \nThe hierarchical thinking that privileges line or design over colour also raises art above craft. However\, the selection of art and craft in Chromophilia dispenses with binary distinctions. It encourages viewers to consider the versatility of colour as a decorative\, structural and expressive element. \nWhen viewed from the side\, the footed bowl thrown by Ray Mackie and decorated by Debra Kuzyk balances a gracefully contoured silhouette against the lively\, graphic surface design on its outer wall. When viewed from above\, the mutually intensifying reds and greens of the bowl’s interior appear independently of the bowl’s silhouette\, giving the vessel a dual personality defined on the one hand by line and on the other by hue. Equally decorative in its effect\, the pooled\, dripped\, greenish-blue glaze on Mackie’s Swimming Rays poetically evokes the ocean. \nSuzanne Swannie’s miniature Zodiac tapestries demonstrate a design principle similar to Deb Kuzyk’s\, in that high chroma hues are never adjacent\, but always separated by a thin black line or by wider bands of black and white. In Swannie’s carpet study Brud\, the adjacent red and orange fields are nearly indistinguishable—but the optical ambivalence of these closely valued colours is offset by the bold tonal contrasts of geometrically defining black and white bands. The combination of analogous colours and contrasting values produces the spatially dynamic effect of planes sliding over and under one another. \nThe resemblance to pixels in the weave pattern of Swannie’s tiny tapestries resonates with the modular composition and broken colour daubs of Peter Dykhuis’ multi-panelled encaustic paintings. Dykhuis’ subject matter and colours are appropriated from the computer screen\, whose luminosity is approximated by the translucency and sheen of pigmented beeswax. Both paintings reproduce satellite weather maps issued in association with Hurricane Juan (2003). Their brilliant hues are offset with zones of white or panels of “pixelated” black striping. These serve to accentuate the graph-like structure of the paintings\, complimenting the “info-graphic” connotations of colours that have been selected for bit size rather than beauty. \nOpening Reception: Join us for the opening reception and meet the artists on Saturday\, March 16 at 3:00pm.[/vc_column_text][vc_gallery type=”image_grid” images=”17307\,17308″ 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/chromophilia/ CATEGORIES:Nova Scotian Artists,Painting,Sculpture & Installation,Textiles ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.msvuart.ca/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/Lucky-Rabbit-Chinese-style-Bowl-Red-Flowers-2010.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20130306 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20130420 DTSTAMP:20260411T135539 CREATED:20190815T181714Z LAST-MODIFIED:20190815T181714Z UID:10000195-1362528000-1366415999@www.msvuart.ca SUMMARY:Steve Higgins: Artist in Residence 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]For nearly four decades\, Steve Higgins’ architecturally inspired sculpture and graphic work has evoked post-industrial dystopias. As though exposing the inner contradictions of a dysfunctional society\, his elaborate drawings include spatially incompatible illusions in compositions that Higgins describes as “corrupted from within.” The production residency at MSVU Art Gallery offers Higgins his first opportunity in 32 years to realize a room-sized\, three-dimensional structure based on his charcoal drawings. \nThe artist was born in Spokane\, Washington\, and taught from 1974 until 2002 at the University of Manitoba School of Art\, Winnipeg. Since moving to Halifax\, he has been teaching at the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design. An exhibition of his work\, All Things Considered: Thoughts about Cities and History\, War and Peace\, travelled across Canada in 2009-2012. \nThroughout his residency\, Higgins will host open studio days to invite the public into his process. During gallery hours\, visitors to the mezzanine gallery will be able to observe from above his creation of an increasingly impossible architecture. For Higgins\, the “theatre of labour” staged during his residency “is as important for the community to witness as it is for me to make.”[/vc_column_text][vc_gallery type=”image_grid” images=”17296\,17294\,17304\,17303\,17302\,17297\,17298\,17299\,17300\,17301″ 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/steve-higgins-artist-in-residence/ CATEGORIES:Nova Scotian Artists,Sculpture & Installation ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.msvuart.ca/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/Steve-Higgins-Maquette-for-MSVU-Sculpture-2013.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20130112 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20130225 DTSTAMP:20260411T135539 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.

Like many of the county’s rural residents\, he took part in the up-keep of his family’s home garden\, which he helped to deer-proof with wire mesh supported on posts. Deer are among the foremost garden pests in the area\, and gardens equipped against the ungulate menace are known colloquially as “deer gardens.” Two years ago\, O’Dowd decided to document these outposts of cultivation in a series of colour photographs entitled Deer Gardens. \nIn the process of obtaining permission to photograph\, O’Dowd made the acquaintance of most landowners whose property he documented. The gardeners do not appear in the photographs because they were most likely at rest at the moment of shooting; O’Dowd deliberately photographed in the early morning or late evening\, when the light would be softer\, the shadows less harsh and the ambience more dream-like. Viewers may guess at the personalities of the gardeners by studying the idiosyncratic ornaments\, barriers and scare repellents installed on each plot of land. \nClad in rubber boots\, rain gear and a hat\, O’Dowd would often set up a shot by climbing a ladder to operate his camera from a tall tripod. The elevated positioning of the camera ensured that a maximum of information would be recorded. The gardens are generally centred in the frame and surrounded by the lush\, wild landscape—a framing that dramatizes the encroachment of the forces of nature. Several of the gardens documented in the photographs no longer exist; the landowners have given up the struggle against ravenous wildlife. \nDeclan O’Dowd was educated as a photographer at the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design (BFA\, 2000) and lives in Dartmouth. His romantic landscape views were shot with a Mamiya medium format camera. The developed film was digitally scanned and printed on an inkjet printer. \nOPENING RECEPTION: Opens jointly with Activist Ink on Saturday\, January 19 at 3:00pm. The artist will be present.[/vc_column_text][vc_gallery type=”image_grid” images=”17283\,17282\,17281\,17280″ 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/prospect-16-declan-odowd/ CATEGORIES:Emerging Artists,Nova Scotian Artists,Photography ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.msvuart.ca/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/Declan-O’Dowd-Garden-1-Bowling-Ball-and-Rubbish-Bin-2010.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20090702 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20090924 DTSTAMP:20260411T135539 CREATED:20190816T132604Z LAST-MODIFIED:20190816T133305Z UID:10000069-1246492800-1253750399@www.msvuart.ca SUMMARY:Stock: Stack\, Kyle Monchuk 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]Stack is the first in a series of exhibitions conceived especially for the MSVU Library vitrines.

Their playful\, melodramatic and often undraped performances for the camera result from voluntary collaborations with the photographer\, who also occasionally steps in front of the lens. \n“Many of the people I work with are very unusual\,” says Steeves. “I see them as specialist personalities who bring things to the process that I could never invent. I have that tendency too. They see we’re of the same skin. They knew what I was up to and I knew a great deal about them\, so they could influence the situation just as much as I could.” \nThe theatricalization of the self is implicit in portraiture; to strike a pose is to present oneself to the gaze of another as if one were immobilized–already a picture. Steeves’s work is grounded in trust and a shared intention between photographer and subject. The meaning of the pose derives from the photographic act itself\, which takes place as part of a collective performance. The self is depicted as a scene of desire—one that overtly challenges the norms of middle-class sexuality. \nCatalogue and exhibition produced with support from Nova Scotia Tourism\, Culture & Heritage.[/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line”][vc_gallery type=”image_grid” images=”19063\,19064\,19065\,19066\,19067\,19068\,19069\,19070\,19071\,19072″ 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/george-steeves/ CATEGORIES:Nova Scotian Artists,Photography ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.msvuart.ca/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/George-Steeves-E-minor-No.-21-GS-LH-2001-1.jpg END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
