Its two-storey height was designed for the preeminent art of that era; expansive paintings on the scale of American “field” painting\, and sculpture conceived in Minimalist terms as spatial theatre. \nForty-three years later\, Big in Nova Scotia responds to the moment of the Gallery’s beginning with a selection of large works from the MSVU collection. Seven of the nine participating artists received their art educations during the heyday of spatially ambitious artmaking. The works date from 1976 through 2012 and include painting\, sculpture and textile-based art. The artists represented are Lynn Donoghue\, Frances Dorsey\, Gathie Falk\, Steve Higgins\, Svava Juliusson\, Charlotte Lindgren\, Rebecca Roberts\, Ron Shuebrook and Peter Walker.[/vc_column_text][vc_gallery type=”image_grid” images=”17266″ 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]

SUMMARY:Steve Higgins: Artist in Residence
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” overlay_strength=”0.3″ shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_link_target=”_self” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column_text]For nearly four decades\, Steve Higgins’ architecturally inspired sculpture and graphic work has evoked post-industrial dystopias. As though exposing the inner contradictions of a dysfunctional society\, his elaborate drawings include spatially incompatible illusions in compositions that Higgins describes as “corrupted from within.” The production residency at MSVU Art Gallery offers Higgins his first opportunity in 32 years to realize a room-sized\, three-dimensional structure based on his charcoal drawings. \nThe artist was born in Spokane\, Washington\, and taught from 1974 until 2002 at the University of Manitoba School of Art\, Winnipeg. Since moving to Halifax\, he has been teaching at the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design. An exhibition of his work\, All Things Considered: Thoughts about Cities and History\, War and Peace\, travelled across Canada in 2009-2012. \nThroughout his residency\, Higgins will host open studio days to invite the public into his process. During gallery hours\, visitors to the mezzanine gallery will be able to observe from above his creation of an increasingly impossible architecture. For Higgins\, the “theatre of labour” staged during his residency “is as important for the community to witness as it is for me to make.”[/vc_column_text][vc_gallery type=”image_grid” images=”17296\,17294\,17304\,17303\,17302\,17297\,17298\,17299\,17300\,17301″ display_title_caption=”true” layout=”3″ masonry_style=”true” item_spacing=”default” gallery_style=”2″ load_in_animation=”none”][divider line_type=”No Line”][/vc_column][/vc_row]

SUMMARY:Twisted
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]Spiral and vortex structures allow artists to engage in what Robert Smithson called “a kind of jeopardized map making — bringing chaos and order into close quarters.” Twisted includes works by three Haligonians who deploy spirals from cosmological\, mathematical and biological perspectives. \nAs a way of reflecting on adaptation and change\, Gerard Choy makes stone sculpture that evokes the randomized spiralling of sea-shell fragments. The sculptor Steve Higgins generates a whirling\, apocalyptic and purely optical “anarchitecture” in his large charcoal drawings. In contrast to Higgins’ visionary handling of the motif\, the self-styled “classical machinist\,” John Macnab uses the spiral motion of a modified industrial lathe to inscribe “decaying mathematical functions onto spiralling surfaces.” Several of his conical columns are hollow-coopered or hand-built\, and have a distinctly erotic aura. \nOpening\nThere was a joint opening reception for the exhibitions Twisted and taboos\, titillations & thrills on Friday\, April 28.[/vc_column_text][vc_gallery type=”image_grid” images=”16718″ 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]
