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

Each artist reflected on this expression in their contribution to the design. \nKalkidan Assefa (Dripping Soul) chose to honour the pioneers of East Coast/Atlantic hip hop\, focusing on Black Nova Scotian communities. Areas like Uniacke Square—where some Africville residents were relocated—were among the first in the region to embrace hip hop’s underlying themes of social and economic disenfranchisement. Assefa highlighted the emcee\, one of hip hop’s four elements\, as the voice that connected these communities with others who shared similar experiences. \nMique Michelle pays homage to the women of hip hop who are often overlooked as contributors to the culture\, collaborators\, or solo artists. Too often\, they are seen as “assistants.” Inspired by Atlantic Canada’s heavy-hitting women emcees\, the globally trailblazing women of hip hop\, and their stories\, Mique Michelle created three characters who are a mashup of past\, present\, and future Femme presence. Mique Michelle adds\, “Let’s not forget to write ourselves into the future while respecting those who created the foundation.”  She invites viewers to take a closer at the mural to find a dozen local easter eggs scattered throughout. \nGhettosocks believes that the founders of hip hop (like DJ Kool Herc) intended to bring people together by celebrating life and culture through their music. This essence permeates the wall and will hold it down until the next iteration inevitably seizes its place. \n“Painting this mural with Mique and Kal has been a beautiful experience. Collaboration is one of the many incredible aspects of hip hop\, and I feel privileged to be included amongst such a pair of immense talent.”[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row] URL:https://www.msvuart.ca/exhibition/still-tho-aesthetic-survival-in-hip-hops-visual-art/ LOCATION:MSVU Main Gallery CATEGORIES:Community,Drawing & Printmaking,History,Indigenous,Media,Painting,Photography,Sculpture & Installation ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.msvuart.ca/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/Tafiya-alley-mid-air-copy.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20210220 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20210329 DTSTAMP:20260525T090636 CREATED:20210208T184648Z LAST-MODIFIED:20210909T192213Z UID:10000131-1613779200-1616975999@www.msvuart.ca SUMMARY:ESCAPE / The Great Indoors 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” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column_text]\nPlease note: this exhibition is on view at Hermes Gallery \nWhy should comfort imply tedium? ESCAPE / The Great Indoors brings together cozy\, bright\, and colourful explorations of domestic space by four emerging artists: Kayza DeGraff-Ford\, Tee Kundu\, Fern Pellerin\, and Anna-Lisa Shandro. The featured works – which range from painting\, textiles\, installation\, and audience-artist collaboration – seek to re-enchant interior spaces\, transforming the mundane into the fantastic through colour\, metaphor\, and play while retaining the intimacy and connection of home. ESCAPE explores imaginative tactics to transcend domestic confinement\, reframing our homes as sites of hidden wonder\, both rich in spontaneity and ripe with possibility. And yet this focus on domesticity should not be conflated with isolation. These works suggest enchantment isn’t solo work: the artists draw meaning from connections with themselves\, others\, culture\, and the more-than-human. \nThe artists and curator will take turns “gallery-sitting” for the duration of the exhibition\, and warmly invite guests to visit and bring their curiosity\, their candour\, and stories of home.\nPlease visit the Hermes Gallery website for more information\, location and visiting hours.\nThis exhibition is collaboratively organized by MSVU Art Gallery and Dalhousie Art Gallery with exhibition space and programming services provided by Hermes Art Gallery Cooperative Limited.[/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=”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]\nAbout the Curator\nLiuba González de Armas is Halifax’s “Young Curator”\, a position made possible by funds from the Canadian Museum Association’s Shirley L.

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.

Each painting presents a brimming jostle of pictorial oppositions. The work presents a perpetual play between chaos and control\, the synthetic and the organic\, the technological and the natural\, flatness and depth\, the atmospheric and the geological… This re-combination of elements reveals aspects of the irrational and the evocation of unfathomable space.” – Melanie Authier. \nThe spatial effects of Melanie Authier’s abstract paintings show how artists can engage with the art of the past and transpose it into their own visual language. In her current works\, Authier evokes abstract\, formalist tendencies in painting that were current from the 1940s through the 1970s. Abstract\, formalist painting gives priority to composition and the physical properties of paint. It is not about subject matter. \nAuthier comments that she does not work from source material; her work is embedded in abstraction. At the same time\, she takes liberties with the rules of perspective governing the optical advancement and recession of colour and form. The rules of perspective are associated with representational painting. For an abstract painter to introduce such elements is surprising—it allows her paintings to suggest imaginary landscapes in which one might become lost. \nRather than drawing a line between formalist abstraction and representational painting\, Authier situates her practice on a spectrum between the two. The artist was born in Montreal and lives in Ottawa\, where she teaches painting at the University of Ottawa. \nThis exhibition has been organized by the Thames Art Gallery in partnership with the Ottawa Art Gallery\, Art Gallery of Guelph\, Kenderdine Art Gallery\, Galerie de I’UQAM\, MSVU Art Gallery\, and the Musée régional de Rimouski with funding from the Ontario Arts Council’s Ontario\, National and International Touring programs.[/vc_column_text][vc_gallery type=”image_grid” images=”15365\,15367\,15368″ 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][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=”1/2″ 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]\nArtist Talk\n[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text el_id=”talkdate”]Saturday\, January 13th at 2:00pm[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Melanie Authier will lead an informal tour of the exhibition followed by a relaxed reception.

As a corollary to their engagement with practices of looking and appearing\, these self-portraits also tackle the frameworks of race\, gender and sexuality. \nIn her extended photographic self-portrait\, Rosalie Favell exposes the intersectional consequences of coming out as an Indigenous lesbian. Works by the African Nova Scotian artists Chrystal Clements and Jim Shirley confront the racializing gaze in inventive ways. Replacing images with words\, Marie Koehler tackles and triumphs over patriarchal objectifications of women’s appearance. Sarra McNie\, on the other hand\, subsumes the representation of her nude figure in the formal problems of modernist painting.[/vc_column_text][vc_gallery type=”image_grid” images=”15660\,15661″ display_title_caption=”true” layout=”3″ masonry_style=”true” item_spacing=”default” gallery_style=”2″ load_in_animation=”none”][divider line_type=”No Line”][/vc_column][/vc_row] URL:https://www.msvuart.ca/exhibition/how-do-i-look/ CATEGORIES:Drawing & Printmaking,Gender & Sexuality,Nova Scotian Artists,Painting,Photography,Race ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.msvuart.ca/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/Favell-Living-Evidence.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20140823 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20140929 DTSTAMP:20260525T090636 CREATED:20190815T160710Z LAST-MODIFIED:20190815T160710Z UID:10000192-1408752000-1411948799@www.msvuart.ca SUMMARY:Big in Nova Scotia 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]MSVU Art Gallery was built in 1971.

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:20090307 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20090518 DTSTAMP:20260525T090636 CREATED:20190816T135832Z LAST-MODIFIED:20190816T135832Z UID:10000066-1236384000-1242604799@www.msvuart.ca SUMMARY:Susan Feindel: See Below 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 Nova Scotian artist Susan Feindel is known for her adventurous\, experimental approach to landscape painting and her espousal of environmental causes.

Unstretched\, ink-painted canvases mounted on the darkened floor appear to bleed into the void\, suggesting a submerged\, downward-looking view of the benthic (ocean bottom) habitat. Complementing these\, a series of perforated ink and wash North Atlantic “map” drawings are illuminated from beneath to illustrate the migratory movements of sea creatures.

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:20260525T090636 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.

Their collaborative installation is composed of Brotman’s miniature acrylic and ink paintings mounted on wooden cubes and Hague’s spectacular\, wall-sized cascade of freely hanging woodcuts and cut-paper shapes. Inspired in part by the disastrous tsunami of 2004\, this curtain-like composition filled with tumbling gymnasts and explosions has been compared to “an apocalyptic passion play set under Toronto’s Gardiner Expressway.” Brotman’s diaphanous\, three-inch paintings offer a delicate counterpoint. Born in Israel\, Yael Brotman emigrated to Canada as a child and now practices painting and printmaking in Toronto.

The artist was born in Trinidad\, raised in Mississauga\, and lives in New York. After the 9-11 bombing she travelled to photograph jails and burial sites in Asian countries. Those photographs are the source images of Tracking\, a spectacular floor-to-ceiling composition painted directly on the gallery walls.

By 1962\, he was painting in New York and\, by 1964\, he had participated in the 14th Annual Guggenheim International Awards exhibition. Like his fellow expatriates Robert Murray\, Michael Snow and Joyce Wieland\, Syverson achieved recognition in his homeland by building a career in New York. But\, like some of his American colleagues\, he sought relief from city life in Cape Breton. Syverson has lived permanently in the village of Cape North since 1976. \nThe monumental shaped paintings of the 1980s and ’90s are luminous\, monochromatic fields\, often pierced in the centre and bounded by built-up edges resembling torn flesh. The smaller\, more recent works are composed of wrapped and painted alder twigs woven with visceral effect onto stretchers turned canvas-side to wall. Syverson invents within a rigorously reductive paradigm. He achieves dimension without illusionism\, figure-ground relationships without painting figures on a background\, and expressive content without recourse to gestural brushwork or depiction. \nExhibition Travels \n\nDunlop Art Gallery\, Regina\, November 10\, 2001 to January 11\, 2002\nConfederation Centre Art Gallery\, Charlottetown\, February 15 to April 28\, 2002\n\n[/vc_column_text][vc_gallery type=”image_grid” images=”16780\,16781\,16782″ 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/cape-breton-modern-terrence-syverson/ CATEGORIES:Modernist Survivals,Nova Scotian Artists,Painting ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.msvuart.ca/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/Terrence-Syverson.-Tri-infinity-II-Brown-Study-detail.-Acrylic-and-varnish-on-canvas-over-plywood-with-alder-twigs-96-x-115.5-x-6-cm.-Photo-Peter-Walker-1984-87.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20010624 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20010723 DTSTAMP:20260525T090636 CREATED:20190816T170933Z LAST-MODIFIED:20190816T170933Z UID:10000143-993340800-995846399@www.msvuart.ca SUMMARY:Portraits: Unsettled Subjects DESCRIPTION:[vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” overlay_strength=”0.3″ shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_link_target=”_self” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column_text]This exhibition showcases portraits from the MSVU collection\, together with loans from various Canadian sources.

Duschenes’ vivid self-portraits situate lesbian citizens and spouses within the purview of artistic and legislative canons. \nArtist’s Talk\nOn Sunday\, March 11\, Julie Duschenes gave a presentation elaborating on the Stories and her current work.[/vc_column_text][vc_gallery type=”image_grid” images=”16750″ 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/julie-duschenes-stories-that-own-me/ CATEGORIES:Feminisms,Gender & Sexuality,Painting ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.msvuart.ca/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/Julie-Duschenes.-Story-3.-Oil-on-canvas-150-x-129-cm-1998-2000.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20001022 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20001218 DTSTAMP:20260525T090636 CREATED:20190816T171953Z LAST-MODIFIED:20190816T171953Z UID:10000022-972172800-977097599@www.msvuart.ca SUMMARY:Prospect 8: Rebecca Roberts Paintings 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 “Prospect” exhibitions are intended to expose the work of selected artists during the early stages of their careers. Rebecca Roberts\, who lives in Halifax\, is the eighth artist to participate in this series. \nWorking from photographs\, Roberts makes small\, lusciously executed paintings in which the nude female figure fills the pictorial field. In several of her paintings\, raking light both disintegrates and sculpts the anatomy. Roberts’ interest in painterly figuration links her to British traditions exemplified by Lucian Freud and\, more recently\, by the celebrated Young British Artist Jenny Saville.[/vc_column_text][vc_gallery type=”image_grid” images=”16733\,16734\,16735″ 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-8-rebecca-roberts-paintings/ CATEGORIES:Emerging Artists,Nova Scotian Artists,Painting ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.msvuart.ca/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/Rebecca-Roberts.-Untitled.-Oil-on-canvas-31-x-46-cm-1999.jpg END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
