Saint Vincent University. The exhibition 50 Bits and Pieces: an MSVU Art Gallery Retrospective marks this semicentennial. With the support of an Arts Nova Scotia Commission Grant\, Lisa Bouraly and David Clark\, two collaborators invested in archives and digitization\, were invited to scour the MSVU Art Gallery archives—media holdings\, exhibition files\, catalogue collections\, collections\, and other historical records—to find out what was reflected about the Gallery’s history. Culled from more than 700 exhibitions\, 1000 workshops\, and 800 objects in the collection\, 50 Bits and Pieces presents 50 unique yet illustrative moments from MSVU Art Gallery’s past. The original exhibition was to open in 2020\, however\, the global COVID-19 pandemic forced a change in plans. The installation was moved to the fall of 2021 and this extended timeline presented an opportunity for new ways to engage with the archival material. The result is an online interface\, created by David\, that offers collages of the “bits and pieces” selected by Lisa from the archive\, including passages and excerpts from documents\, speeches\, research notes\, exhibition installation photographs\, videos\, and media coverage. The exhibition is a culmination of these 50 moments and their corresponding archival material\, adapted into an immersive installation at the Gallery\, commemorating its 50th anniversary.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” shape_type=””][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_spacing=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][divider line_type=”No Line”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_spacing=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”]\n \n \n \n Exhibition Information\n 50 Bits and Pieces: an MSVU Art Gallery Retrospective\n https://www.msvuart.ca/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/1-1-1024x574.jpg\n ALL CATEGORIES\n \n \n https://www.msvuart.ca/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/01-Exhibition-Information-1.wav\n \n \n Curator Statement - Lisa Bouraly\n 50 Bits and Pieces: an MSVU Art Gallery Retrospective\n https://www.msvuart.ca/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/1-1-1024x574.jpg\n ALL CATEGORIES\n \n \n https://www.msvuart.ca/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/02-Curator-Statement-Lisa-Bouraly.wav\n \n \n Artist Statement - David Clark\n 50 Bits and Pieces: an MSVU Art Gallery Retrospective\n https://www.msvuart.ca/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/1-1-1024x574.jpg\n ALL CATEGORIES\n \n \n https://www.msvuart.ca/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/03-Artist-Statement-David-Clark.mp3\n \n \n About the Curator - Lisa Bouraly\n 50 Bits and Pieces: an MSVU Art Gallery Retrospective\n https://www.msvuart.ca/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/1-1-1024x574.jpg\n ALL CATEGORIES\n \n \n https://www.msvuart.ca/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/04-About-the-Curator-Lisa-Bouraly.wav\n \n \n About the Artist - David Clark\n 50 Bits and Pieces: an MSVU Art Gallery Retrospective\n https://www.msvuart.ca/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/1-1-1024x574.jpg\n ALL CATEGORIES\n \n \n https://www.msvuart.ca/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/05-About-the-Artist-David-Clark.wav\n \n \n No HTML5 audio playback capabilities for this browser.

Celebrating a 50-year history (1971-2021)\, MSVU Art Gallery’s anniversary represents a unique opportunity to attempt to answer this question. During a year-long collaboration\, we worked with visual and textual archives from MSVU Art Gallery to produce an online interface designed to make our findings breathe new life into the Gallery’s history. Drawing from dispersed and fragmented archives\, a selection of 50 representative moments has been curated to encapsulate the Gallery’s 50-year history. This interface is an invitation to explore and revisit an institution which has devoted a significant part of its activities to the representation of women as cultural subjects and producers. The interface itself works as a navigation system and as an artistic and alternative database\, offering a constellation of 50 activities that encompasses the Gallery’s mission\, its work with surrounding communities\, and its support to artists from Atlantic Canada. Navigation of the interface is neither chronological nor thematic: the serendipitous discovery of Bits and Pieces content is punctuated by digital and animated collages that weave and layer sound\, video\, and other multimedia elements. This interactive navigation is meant to enable visitors to create their own connections\, impressions\, and interpretations of the Gallery’s archives. \nThis project would not have been possible without the invaluable support of the Gallery team: David Dahms\, Claire Dykhuis\, Laura Ritchie\, and Traci Steylen. We are also very grateful to Faiza Abdulle\, Adrian Fish\, Susan Gibson Garvey\, Ingrid Jenkner\, Connor Mackinnon\, Lori Mombourquette\, Kaya Panthier\, and Wiebke Schroeder for their contributions to this project. \n– Lisa Bouraly and David Clark \n[/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line”][divider line_type=”No Line”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_spacing=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text]\nAbout the Curator\nLisa Bouraly is a researcher in Museum studies and a curator of contemporary art.

The artists’ ability to “flaunt a precarious mode of being” by means of experimental strategies is the theme uniting the six hour-long programs. Kibbins has chosen videos whose resistant politics he describes as “experimental propaganda … as self-confident as it is insouciant. The cause\, generally held\, is the right to multiply sexualities\, practices and ways of living…. In that\, experimental propaganda helps sustain what remains of the utopian dimension of video.” \nSeveral of the artists (Joyan Saunders\, David Clark\, Yudi Sewraj\, Steve Reinke and Jan Peacock) have strong connections to Halifax. \nScreenings\nTapes were compiled into six separate programs\, and could be screened on request in the Project Room adjacent to the mezzanine gallery. The exhibition was accompanied by program notes and an illustrated catalogue written by Gary Kibbins.[/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line”][/vc_column][/vc_row] URL:https://www.msvuart.ca/exhibition/flaming-creatures-new-tendencies-in-canadian-video/ LOCATION:Canada CATEGORIES:Feminisms,Film & Video,Gender & Sexuality ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.msvuart.ca/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/Steve-Reinke.-Seventeen-Descriptions.-still-1996.jpg END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
