Extensions

Carolyn Code

Extensions explores the connection we have with objects that we hold on to but do not use in our daily lives. Using the framework of wunderkammerns, Extensions examines storage spaces as accidental cabinets of curiosities containing objects of interest, both specific to the individual, but also general categories of objects relevant to the collective. The incidental placement of objects of value alongside forgotten trash, accumulations of objects associated with function, or with nostalgia and memory, are all commonplace in these collections. Using abstraction to remove literal interpretation, this installation encourages the viewer to go beyond surface perception by exploring the layers of connections and associations that we have with objects.

OUGHT

Curated by Jole Walinga

Anna May Henry, Alicia Nauta, Natalie Logan, Madelene Veber, Meg Remy, Geetha Thurairajah

OUGHT compiles the variety of suggestions posed by parents to their artist children in misguided attempts to support, encourage, or simply understand. OUGHT exhibits the materialization of these sometimes ridiculous ideas, as artists actually attempt to create or fulfill what was suggested of them. The show illustrates examples of non art-world or art-educated ideas of the function and aesthetic of art, while simultaneously illuminating the underlying encouragements and discouragements that exist at the foundation of the woman artist.

The Artists in Her Studio After Jane Eyre

SAS Sagan MacIsaac, Arielle Gavin, Sarah Butterill

This exhibition follows the collective SAS Sagan MacIsaac, Arielle Gavin, and Sarah Butterill, a fictional persona and celebrity artist who has been commissioned to design a Jane Eyre-themed amusement park. The imagined park pays tribute to Charlotte Bronts seminal Victorian novel through rides and amusements based on passages from the book. Thornfield Unbound, named after the estate in the novel, is slated to open in 2015, in Whistler, B.C. This exhibit recreates SAS studio, showcasing her design process, including mood boards, sketches, dioramas, and behind-the-scenes videos of the in-progress park. SAS will be in attendance at the opening reception, inhabiting her workspace.
