RECAST

Curated by Lisa Myers

Recast suggests the changing of roles often associated with theatre or film, or the remaking of something. This exhibition presents Christian Chapmans video collaboration and Bev Koski's photographic series to consider how meaning shifts with the recasting of narrative and objects. Chapman invites Sbastien Aubins and Caroline Monnets media art collective AM, filmmaker Marja Bl Nango, and artist Nathan Young to join him as each edits super eight footage of a self-taught Woodland painter living in the bush. This experiment of outcomes reveals multiple roles of an artist. Koski's photographs of tourist kitsch figurines peering out from under beaded covers creates new personas for caricature depictions of Indigenous North Americans. These larger than life portraits give new meaning to the objects they represent, performing new roles and declaring an unexpected presence.
