Applied Arts Scotland’s international craft exchange project\, including three international residencies that brought together makers from Mexico\, Canada\, Thailand\, and Scotland to experiment and create new work. This exchange culminated in the Meet Make Collaborate touring exhibition\, which was to be hosted at MSVU Art Gallery in 2021 but was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The practices and work of the international collaborating makers inform the program of the festival\, and are accompanied by symposium presentations and panels discussions on the topics of identity\, collaboration\, sustainability\, and more. \nTo register or for more information about the festival and its corresponding projects\, please visit Applied Arts Scotland’s website. \n  \n\nOrganized and presented by Applied Arts Scotland SCIO\, Edinburgh College of Art\, MSVU Art Gallery\, and The Dr. Sandra Alfoldy Craft Institute at NSCAD University.

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.

The small scale of the works\, being no larger than 25 cm square\, challenged the artists to concisely express their artistic concepts. For the artists\, “interface” is ultimately about relationships and connections: within families and cultural heritage; between human presence and the natural environment; within society and contemporary politics; or the abstract interface between the artist and tapestry loom. \nPresented by and displayed at StFX Art Gallery\, in partnership with MSVU Art Gallery\, Interface is coordinated by Tapestry Touring International\, an exhibition-specific collective of the participating artists. Interface is sponsored in part by yarnworthy and funded in part by the Museums Assistance Program\, administered by the Department of Canadian Heritage.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row

Indigenous artists from around the circumpolar world. Together\, their works politically and poetically express current Arctic concerns towards land\, language\, sovereignty and resurgence. Artists from throughout the circumpolar north share kinship with each other and their ancestors\, love for their homelands\, and respect for the land and its inhabitants. Yet they also share histories of colonialism and experience its ongoing legacies and are united in their desire to protect northern ecologies\, languages\, peoples and knowledge from the nefarious effects of climate change\, encroaching industry and competition. These resistance efforts do not merely express\, they give shape to a collective ecology of care\, a “decolonial love” (in the words of Leanne Simpson and others) that is both generous and generative. These works invite viewers to contemplate relationships between textual and embodied Indigenous knowledges\, innovation and sustainability\, humour and resilience\, and our collective responsibility to northern life and land. \nOrganized and circulated by the Leonard & Bina Ellen Art Gallery / Concordia University \nThis exhibition was cancelled due to MSVU Art Gallery’s closure in response to COVID-19\n[/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”

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.

She lives in Salt Spring Island. The exhibition encompasses the tapestry series Curiosities\, Wonderland\, Land Sentence and Possession. In nightmarish visions of genetic modification\, Curiosities depicts parts of various organisms spliced together to form alluring chimeras. The shaped weavings of Land Sentence are based on satellite photographs of environmental devastation\, executed in the toxic palette of the computer screen. Kidd’s commitment to handwork in realizing these images of technology run amok is remarkably apt. \nA catalogue with an essay by Amy Gogarty accompanies the exhibition\, together with a sample tapestry fragment for tactile exploration.[/vc_column_text][vc_gallery type=”image_grid” images=”14933\,14934\,14932″ 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\, 23 June at 2-4pm[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Jane Kidd will present an informal talk about her work followed by a relaxed reception. \nAmerican Sign Language interpretation is available for all public programs.

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:20081018 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20081124 DTSTAMP:20260515T104947 CREATED:20190816T141829Z LAST-MODIFIED:20190816T141829Z UID:10000182-1224288000-1227484799@www.msvuart.ca SUMMARY:Danish Modern: Suzanne Swannie Textil 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]Suzanne Swannie is a Halifax-based designer and weaver who creates functional textiles\, tapestries and large architectural installations for private and public environments. She also weaves pictorial tapestries and is known for unique fabric constructions such as the gallery installation Repassage. Both the woven works and the constructions display the “Danish Modern” principle of repetition of modular units as a means of generating surfaces and structures with a typical emphasis on rich colour harmonies. \nSwannie’s integrated sensibility—the legacy of her Scandinavian training—allows her to move adroitly between industry\, craft and the art world\, gaining from each\, apologizing to none. The retrospective selection includes tapestry works from the 1970s; pieced and appliqueed wall textiles created in collaboration with the Mi’kmaq women of Eskasoni Reserve (1977-1980); production household textiles (1980s); the creased-silk installation Repassage (1986); subsequent tapestry carpets and their paper studies (1990s\, 2000s); and the major figurative tapestry triptych completed in 2007. \nThe exhibition catalogue contains essays by Sheila Stevenson\, Halifax\, and Rachel Gotlieb\, Toronto and Ron Shuebrooke\, Guelph.

The For Example exhibitions each incorporate works by three artists\, housed in identical\, separate vitrines. \nThe current exhibition draws attention to all-overness of composition\, and the density achieved by layering and distribution of motifs over a given pictorial field. Each work by Kim Moodie (a teeming\, edge-to-edge drawing)\, Jeannie Thib (stacked wood) and Joy Walker (silkscreened cloth) is housed in its own vitrine and must be viewed from above\, instead of in the traditional\, wall-mounted fashion. \nFor more than two decades\, London\, Ontario artist Kim Moodie has woven a personal vocabulary of imagery into complexly layered line drawings. His work finds a natural affinity with that of a new generation of artists who have returned to drawing as a primary practice. Inspired by classical painting\, Moodie’s unique imagery suggests Mexican “Day of the Dead” depictions\, medieval manuscript illuminations\, and underground comix. \nOrnament and pattern are the focus of Toronto artist Jeanne Thib’s installations\, sculptures\, print works and drawings. Historical designs\, altered through magnification and repetition\, are remade in altered forms using industrial materials. Motifs accumulated through cutting and stacking create nets and spills\, stepped landscapes and architectural models. These works invert the expected relationships between ornament and architecture\, culture and nature\, original and copy. \nJoy Walker is a Toronto textile artist who owns and operates WORK Textiles (since 1995)\, producing custom silkscreen printed fabrics. Her fabrics have been sold in retail stores throughout Canada and the U.S. Walker teaches in the Textile Department of Sheridan College\, Ontario. Micah Lexier notes that in Punctuation/Red Repeat: “Joy alternates the red and black motifs\, in some cases rotating them\, to generate a dense field that is both uniform and individuated…The work is deceptively simple\, yet maintains a dynamic tension between the distinctiveness of its individual elements and the consistency of its overall composition.” \nMeet the curator at the opening reception on Saturday\, June 23rd from 2:oopm to 5:00pm.[/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line”][vc_gallery type=”image_grid” images=”19052\,19053\,19054″ display_title_caption=”true” layout=”3″ masonry_style=”true” item_spacing=”default” gallery_style=”2″ load_in_animation=”none”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][/vc_column][/vc_row] URL:https://www.msvuart.ca/exhibition/for-example-moodie-thib-walker/ CATEGORIES:Design,Drawing & Printmaking,Textiles ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.msvuart.ca/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/Kim-Moodie-Untitled-detail-2006-Indian-Ink-on-paper.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20041023 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20041213 DTSTAMP:20260515T104947 CREATED:20190816T163712Z LAST-MODIFIED:20190816T163712Z UID:10000054-1098489600-1102895999@www.msvuart.ca SUMMARY:Shifting Ground: Woven Works by Suzanne Swannie 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 several years the Haligonian textile artist Suzanne Swannie has been weaving functional floor coverings for private and public environments. Her training in Danish design and weaving techniques informs the modular design of her reduced tapestry carpets. Shifting Ground includes two brilliantly coloured new carpets plus paper and fibre preparatory studies. Concerning her process\, Swannie comments that\, “To obtain a ‘live’ surface in these works I hand dye all weft yarns. Also\, while observing restraints imposed by technique and utilitarian requirements\, I like to set myself limitations in the design elements. Triangular forms are dominant\, and serve the idea of geological ‘shifts’ which are perhaps open to a wider interpretation.” \nOPENING On Sunday\, October 31 at 3:00pm\, craft historian Sandra Alfoldy will speak briefly about the exhibition; the artist will be present.

The works in this exhibition frame women’s bodily experiences in the context of handwork and hair–where hair appears both as an artist’s material and as the physical trace of its owner. \nAndrea Ward incorporates actual hair into intimate portraits of the 41 individuals she interviewed for the project Hairstories (1989-1994). The complete suite of 41 panels contains hair samples\, memory tokens and statements obtained from women in Toronto and Montreal. Hairstories suggests parallels between women’s self-transformation practices and critical practices in general. \nA former resident of Halifax\, Andrea Ward graduated from NSCAD with an MFA in 1991. Hairstories toured galleries across Canada in 1993. In 1996\, Mount Saint Vincent University purchased eight panels from the series\, which are currently on view in the university library. \nThe two works by whitefeather belong to a series entitled femiliar\, which evokes female puberty\, marriage\, motherhood and menopause. Whereas Ward’s work is generally exhibited in the context of art\, whitefeather situates her practice in craft techniques historically associated with women. The elaborate incorporation of hair into domestic objects lends her works a sanctified\, ritual aura. \nWhitefeather is a published poet\, textile and performance artist who lives in Fredericton. She has received several awards for weaving and teaches at the New Brunswick College of Craft and Design\, from which she graduated in 2001. Femiliar was previously exhibited at the UNB Art Centre in Fredericton.[/vc_column_text][vc_gallery type=”image_grid” images=”16851\,16852\,16853\,16855″ 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/hair-in-hand/ CATEGORIES:Feminisms,Gender & Sexuality,Sculpture & Installation,Textiles ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.msvuart.ca/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/Andrea-Ward.-Hairstories-1989-1994.-Hair-printed-text-and-mixed-media.-2003.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20031028 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20031124 DTSTAMP:20260515T104947 CREATED:20190816T165631Z LAST-MODIFIED:20190816T165631Z UID:10000156-1067299200-1069631999@www.msvuart.ca SUMMARY:Beyond Words 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]Co-organized by the Art Gallery of Bishop’s University\n& MSVU Art Gallery \nThe art in “Beyond Words” encourages viewers to think of language as something more than a transparent medium of communication. Each piece incorporates printed or handwritten text in ways that defeat a simple reading response. Letter forms\, cursive script and printed pages are transformed into sensuous\, enigmatic\, and even illicit “material.” Letraset collage\, pulled threads\, sandblasted glass\, recorded sound and video\, are some of the media represented. In order to read these works\, viewers must pay attention to form and materials\, in addition to the text. Verbal unintelligibility becomes part of the overall meaning. \nSome of the works voice languages other than English\, such as Cree\, Hebrew and French. Indian Act\, by the Algonkin-Québécoise artist Nadia Myre\, and Word for Word by Ruth Cuthand and Elizabeth MacKenzie\, also dramatize cultural assimilation and language loss. To make Indian Act\, for example\, Myre downloaded the text of “The Indian Act” and invited friends and relatives to replace each letter on the page with a white bead. The remainder of each page was to be filled with red beads. The resulting refusal to communicate in shared cultural terms eloquently talks back to the legislation. \nBy pulling coloured threads through gauze\, Sylvia Ptak achieves a remarkable facsimile of manuscript pages. The sense of her work rests on its uncanny mimicry of authoritative paper documents\, which it replaces with a silent countertext. Rober Racine’s Signatures sonores and Dessins also set up a correspondence between handwriting (autographs collected during the “Radio Rethink” residency at Banff) and its representation\, through the whispering recorded sound of the writing. \nKelly Mark brings out the strangeness of language by associating it with formalist art styles of the past. To compose her black and white “drawings\,” Mark uses salvaged Letraset\, a type of self-adhesive vinyl lettering\, as though letters and punctuation were abstract design elements. Paul de Guzman goes further\, by laboriously excising the linguistic elements from monographs on the artists Roni Horn\, Raymond Pettibon and Doris Salcedo. Through an extraordinary displacement that is nevertheless a tribute\, the encased husks of these books are transformed into an intricate architecture. \nThe works of Gilbert Boyer are inspired by structures containing words\, ranging from tefillin (phylacteries) or prayers encased in boxes\, used in Jewish ritual\, to electronic communications framed by the luminous screen of the computer. His poetic inscriptions fuse the ephemerality of the spoken word with the conventions of the commemorative monument.[/vc_column_text][vc_gallery type=”image_grid” images=”16843\,16844\,16845\,16846\,16847\,16848″ display_title_caption=”true” layout=”3″ masonry_style=”true” item_spacing=”default” gallery_style=”2″ load_in_animation=”none”][divider line_type=”No Line”][/vc_column][/vc_row] URL:https://www.msvuart.ca/exhibition/beyond-words/ CATEGORIES:Film & Video,Textiles ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.msvuart.ca/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/Beyond-Words.-Installation-view-3-MSVU-Art-Gallery-2003.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20020102 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20020304 DTSTAMP:20260515T104947 CREATED:20210202T165512Z LAST-MODIFIED:20210202T171524Z UID:10000095-1009929600-1015199999@www.msvuart.ca SUMMARY:Janice Wright Cheney: Disorderly Creatures 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]Fredericton artist Janice Wright Cheney embroiders life-like insects on handkerchiefs\, books and clothing.

In this exhibition\, most works have been assembled from scraps\, discards and inexpensive household supplies by means of repetitive procedures such as knitting\, filling\, stuffing\, stapling\, and so on.[/vc_column_text][vc_gallery type=”image_grid” images=”16760″ 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/do-try-this-at-home/ CATEGORIES:Emerging Artists,Nova Scotian Artists,Textiles ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.msvuart.ca/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/Leah-Garnett.-Untitled-2000-detail.-Sewn-fabric-and-cotton-batting-variable-dimensions-2000.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20010303 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20010412 DTSTAMP:20260515T104947 CREATED:20190816T171422Z LAST-MODIFIED:20190816T171422Z UID:10000026-983577600-987033599@www.msvuart.ca SUMMARY:Gather Beneath the Banner - Political & Religious Banners of the Woman’s Christian Temperance Union 1877-1932 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]Curators Wendy Harker & Max Allen for The Museum for Textiles\, Toronto \nThe 21 embroidered and painted banners in this exhibition proclaim the conservative beliefs and radical activism of one of Canada’s most successful women’s organizations\, the W.C.T.U. Used in meetings and spectacular public parades\, the banners served as billboards announcing women’s entry into public life as moral entrepreneurs. The W.C.T.U. positioned itself at the forefront of national campaigns for prohibition and women’s suffrage. In 1915\, W.C.T.U. member Nellie McClung (Famous Five co-petitioner in the 1929 Persons Case) led the Edmonton Prohibition Parade of 12\,000 reformers under the banners of the “White Ribbon Sisters.” \nPurity\, Piety and Disobedience\nOn International Women’s Day\, Thursday\, March 8\, visitors to the Gallery could join Nellie McClung\, Edith Archibald (Nova Scotia W.C.T.U.)\, their supporters and opponents\, for a lively reenactment of an old-time meeting.

Today\, cardless computer-assisted looms are freeing weavers from the manual labour entailed by mechanical jacquard techniques. e-textiles includes works as large as 14 feet square that have been jacquard-woven at the specially equipped Centre des textiles contemporains.

This small gathering of works (1960-1971) by the New York and Toronto-based Canadian artist includes drawings\, a stuffed assemblage\, a quilt\, a painting and a pair of tiny\, erotic bronzes. Also on view is her famous print O Canada\, made by “kissing” the lithographic stone at N.S.C.A.D. in 1970. Viewers may detect in these works many structural parallels and references to Wieland’s films of the same period. \nIn both her experimental films and her artmaking\, Joyce Wieland (1931-1988) favoured artisanal modes of production that required little money or technical apparatus. Her methods of construction evolved into an ethics: self-reflexive\, committed to the exposure of female subjectivity and authorship\, and quick to encompass other positions of oppression and silence.[/vc_column_text][vc_gallery type=”image_grid” images=”16686″ 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/joyce-wieland-a-vignette/ CATEGORIES:Drawing & Printmaking,Textiles ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.msvuart.ca/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/Joyce-Wieland.-Sinking-Liner-1963.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:19990605 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:19990719 DTSTAMP:20260515T104947 CREATED:20190816T173356Z LAST-MODIFIED:20190816T173356Z UID:10000018-928540800-932342399@www.msvuart.ca SUMMARY:Confrontations - Unquiet Images from the University Collection 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]On the occasion of its 125th anniversary\, Mount Saint Vincent University has acquired an important textile construction by the Nova Scotian artist Frances Dorsey. Dragon’s Teeth (1994) is a pieced\, dyed and photo-silkscreened expanse of cloth measuring three by four metres. It incorporates life-sized silhouettes of Allied soldiers with images of screaming children and hand-written extracts from Dorsey’s father’s World War II journals. As a revision of the usual epic memorial\, Dragon’s Teeth makes a fitting centre-piece for an exhibition about the imagery of confrontation and armed conflict. \nThe exhibition in the mezzanine gallery includes two further works: Margaret Clarke’s “Mother Ireland” portrait Mary and Brigid (1917)\, and Bruce Johnson’s mural-sized photo-mosaic Oka (1992).[/vc_column_text][vc_gallery type=”image_grid” images=”16667\,16668\,16669″ 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/confrontations-unquiet-images-from-the-university-collection/ CATEGORIES:Feminisms,Gender & Sexuality,Textiles ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.msvuart.ca/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/Bruce-Johnson.-Oka.-Photo-collage-on-board-213-x-198-cm.-MSVU-collection-1992.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:19980613 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:19980803 DTSTAMP:20260515T104947 CREATED:20190816T174907Z LAST-MODIFIED:20190816T174907Z UID:10000115-897696000-902102399@www.msvuart.ca SUMMARY:Field Notes DESCRIPTION:[vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” overlay_strength=”0.3″ shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_link_target=”_self” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column_text]Curators John E.
