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:20240621 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20240818 DTSTAMP:20260515T065914 CREATED:20240424T135609Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260112T144525Z UID:10000255-1718928000-1723939199@www.msvuart.ca SUMMARY:Collective: Miranda Bellamy and Amanda Fauteux 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]Miranda Bellamy and Amanda Fauteux’s collaborative practice identifies and extends the stories of plants through site-specific research and experimentation. By listening to plants and responding through interdisciplinary projects\, they make space for the critical revision of human and particularly settler-colonial histories and to reflect on material accountability\, reciprocity\, and ways of seeing. \n‘Collective’ has been a process of accumulation. Over several years and across the many seemingly disparate locations the artists have visited\, they have met with and photographed hundreds of marked trees. In their images\, the makers of the varied traces etched into or painted on each tree are absent.

A lot of her recent work wrestles with what it means to be living inside the climate emergency. Her work finds home both in traditional gallery contexts and an expanded field of other public and semi-public spaces and is always created with a keen awareness—informed by a mixed Mexican and European-newcomer Canadian background—that multiple realities exist alongside one another. She has shown her work in galleries across Canada and internationally\, done residencies with Arts House Melbourne\, Santa Fe Art Institute\, Robert Rauschenberg Foundation and Camargo Foundation\, among others\, and received artist grants from the Ontario Arts Council and Canada Council for the Arts. She has a Master of Architecture from the University of Waterloo.[/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”][vc_column_text]\nAbout the Curator\nJosephine Mills is the Director/Curator of the University of Lethbridge Art Gallery and a Professor in the Department of Art. She has worked as a curator and public programmer at art galleries and artist-run centres in Saskatoon and Vancouver. Mills has a PhD in Communication Studies from Concordia University\, Montréal and is a graduate of the Museum Leadership Institute at the Getty Center. Her research interests focus on socially-engaged art and gallery practices\, along with issues of public engagement in art galleries.

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.

The photographs represent the initial part of research conducted by the psychology professors Jennifer Buckle and Sonya Corbin Dwyer. The study involved twenty-two volunteer participants from Newfoundland. \nThe curators comment:\n“Tattoos have become a popular means for people to honour and pay tribute to deceased loved ones. While the research on memorial tattoos is very limited\, particularly from a psychological perspective\, results suggest they are a way that people can express and process their loss and make this experience visible not only to themselves but also to the public.” \nThe exhibition includes quotations from interviews with participants\, together with a comments book in which visitors may record their thoughts and experiences.

Many of her photographs of landscapes and architectural interiors are consciously staged\, by means of lighting effects\, protracted exposure\, mirroring\, and the addition of text and auditory components. The exhibition will appear partly in MSVU Art Gallery and partly in MSVU Library\, which is in a linked\, adjacent building. \nArtist’s Talk\nSaturday\, April 22nd at 2:00pm \nPelkey will present an illustrated talk about her work followed by a tour of the MSVU Library portion of the installation\, and a reception in the gallery. \nPanel Discussion\nSaturday\, May 27th at 2:00pm \nHalifax-based artists Susan McEachern and Wilma Needham will discuss how their studio practices intersect with Pelkey’s photography over the course of her career\, particularly the feminist aspects.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row] URL:https://www.msvuart.ca/exhibition/brenda-francis-pelkey-a-retrospective/ CATEGORIES:Gender & Sexuality,Photography ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.msvuart.ca/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/54.-Court-Cobourg-2005-copy-865x335.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20170211 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20170410 DTSTAMP:20260515T065914 CREATED:20180914T182700Z LAST-MODIFIED:20190716T143858Z UID:10000043-1486771200-1491782399@www.msvuart.ca SUMMARY:How Do I Look?

As a corollary to their engagement with practices of looking and appearing\, these self-portraits also tackle the frameworks of race\, gender and sexuality. \nIn her extended photographic self-portrait\, Rosalie Favell exposes the intersectional consequences of coming out as an Indigenous lesbian. Works by the African Nova Scotian artists Chrystal Clements and Jim Shirley confront the racializing gaze in inventive ways. Replacing images with words\, Marie Koehler tackles and triumphs over patriarchal objectifications of women’s appearance. Sarra McNie\, on the other hand\, subsumes the representation of her nude figure in the formal problems of modernist painting.[/vc_column_text][vc_gallery type=”image_grid” images=”15660\,15661″ display_title_caption=”true” layout=”3″ masonry_style=”true” item_spacing=”default” gallery_style=”2″ load_in_animation=”none”][divider line_type=”No Line”][/vc_column][/vc_row] URL:https://www.msvuart.ca/exhibition/how-do-i-look/ CATEGORIES:Drawing & Printmaking,Gender & Sexuality,Nova Scotian Artists,Painting,Photography,Race ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.msvuart.ca/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/Favell-Living-Evidence.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20160116 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20160314 DTSTAMP:20260515T065914 CREATED:20160918T105034Z LAST-MODIFIED:20190723T145952Z UID:10000045-1452902400-1457913599@www.msvuart.ca SUMMARY:Kids these days DESCRIPTION:[vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” overlay_strength=”0.3″ shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_link_target=”_self” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column_text]Kids these days presents video\, photography\, and graphic works that draw from the fields of anthropology\, psychology and sociology\, to examine youth and youth cultures in the Canadian context.

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. The afternoon begins at MSVU Art Gallery\, 12:00pm\, continuing at Dalhousie Art Gallery\, 2:00pm. Free transportation provided\, leaving from MSVU to Dalhousie at 1:30pm.[/vc_column_text][vc_gallery type=”image_grid” images=”17210\,17209\,17208\,17207″ 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/here-you-may-see-the-best-portrait-that-later-i-was-able-to-make-of-him-passages-to-abstraction-genevieve-cadieux/ CATEGORIES:Feminisms,Film & Video,Gender & Sexuality,Photography ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.msvuart.ca/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/Geneviève-Cadieux-Ravissement-detail-black-and-white-stereoscopic-photograph-1985.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20140118 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20140310 DTSTAMP:20260515T065914 CREATED:20190815T152920Z LAST-MODIFIED:20190815T152920Z UID:10000188-1390003200-1394409599@www.msvuart.ca SUMMARY:Terms of Engagement: Averns\, feldman-kiss\, Stimson 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 MSVU Art Gallery\, in partnership with Agnes Etherington Art Centre & the Esker Foundation \nThe Canadian Forces Artists Program was founded in 2001\, as an opportunity for artists to address the complex relationships between culture and conflict. Terms of Engagement includes works by three “embedded” artists: Dick Averns (posted to the Middle East\, 2009)\, nichola feldman-kiss (posted to Sudan\, 2011) and Adrian Stimson (posted to Afghanistan\, 2010). All of the artists work in lens-based media (photography and video) and sculpture. Stimson\, a member of the Siksika (Blackfoot) Nation\, incorporates traditional ceremonial materials\, razor wire and painting in his installations. \nThe exhibition takes no singular position on the merits of making war or peace.

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:20100619 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20100802 DTSTAMP:20260515T065914 CREATED:20210115T144139Z LAST-MODIFIED:20210115T144139Z UID:10000230-1276905600-1280707199@www.msvuart.ca SUMMARY:Scott Conarroe: By Rail 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]Conarroe is well known for his social landscape photographs which evoke romantic pictorial traditions while participating in contemporary photography’s critical discourse. \nIn 2007\, Conarroe embarked on a journey across North America to photograph railway infrastructure.

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:20080329 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20080526 DTSTAMP:20260515T065914 CREATED:20190816T142430Z LAST-MODIFIED:20190816T142430Z UID:10000177-1206748800-1211759999@www.msvuart.ca SUMMARY:Chemistry DESCRIPTION:[vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” overlay_strength=”0.3″ shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_link_target=”_self” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column_text]Local artists Dan O’Neill and George Steeves recently made substantial donations to the University Collection.

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 BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20060715 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20061002 DTSTAMP:20260515T065914 CREATED:20190816T160956Z LAST-MODIFIED:20190816T161340Z UID:10000170-1152921600-1159747199@www.msvuart.ca SUMMARY:Roots & Shoots DESCRIPTION:[vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” overlay_strength=”0.3″ shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_link_target=”_self” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column_text]This exhibition draws out tendencies that circulate among the artists of Halifax Regional Municipality and its environs\, suggesting patterns of artistic affiliation as well as rifts.

As a retired radiologist\, he photographed disappearing Albertan localities such as Pendryl\, Entrance and Plamondon. His entire portfolio is now preserved in the National Archives of Canada. The black and white photographs document Alberta’s remote communities and their inhabitants as they were thirty years ago. Dating from 1973 through 1986\, the images depict trappers\, wilderness camps and vernacular architecture–signs of a primary resource-based economy that scarcely resembles the prosperous\, oil-rich Alberta represented in today’s media. The starkness of the images resonates with the exhibition’s presentation in Nova Scotia—a region also beset by economic disparity that official photographs rarely represent.

Since each artist incorporates traces of other persons (who may or may not be artists) in her production\, this group mid-career retrospective avoids the tendency of solo retrospectives to separate artistic authorship from historical context. Instead\, it offers a chance to explore patterns of affiliation and appropriation that indicate a particular artistic subjectivity.

In her monumental installation Our Red Scarf\, Darci Mallon commemorates a friendship in transparent materials by means of fingerprinting\, drawing and casting. Freda Guttman’s haunting aluminum “phonographs” feature anamorphic photographs of Hitler that resolve when reflected on rotating turntables. In the trick photographs of Carl Zimmerman\, which have not previously been exhibited\, colossal civic monuments that never existed evoke the fascist aesthetics of pre-war technologism. \nGuttman (Montreal)\, Mallon (Edmonton)\, and Zimmerman (Cape Breton) share a fascination with optical techniques that reveal the mutability of photographs and other trace images. These are all images which can be interpreted as evidence of the past. Using allegory\, metaphor and reflexive surprise\, the optical illusions seen here work against the objective realism of one-point linear perspective. \nReception & Artists’ Talks\nOn Wednesday\, 22 January\, visiting artist Darci Mallon presented an illustrated talk at the Khyber. On Sunday 26 January\, during an informal reception\, Freda Guttman and Carl Zimmerman conducted a walkabout tour of the exhibition.[/vc_column_text][vc_gallery type=”image_grid” images=”16800\,16801\,16802″ 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/optical-illusions/ CATEGORIES:Nova Scotian Artists,Photography,Sculpture & Installation ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.msvuart.ca/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/Darci-Mallon.-Our-Red-Scarf.-Installation-view.-Ink-mylar-steel-glass-and-light.-Loeil-de-Poisson-in-Quebec-City.-Photo-by-Ivan-Binet-1997.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20020706 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20020819 DTSTAMP:20260515T065914 CREATED:20210202T152419Z LAST-MODIFIED:20210202T152419Z UID:10000106-1025913600-1029715199@www.msvuart.ca SUMMARY:In Another Place\, Part I Lily Markiewicz: Promise II DESCRIPTION:[vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” overlay_strength=”0.3″ shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_link_target=”_self” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” overlay_strength=”0.3″ column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column_text]Born in post-war Germany\, Lily Markiewicz\, who lives in England\, is renowned for the imagery she has evolved to wordlessly articulate issues around trauma and Judeo-European history.
