In Passing/ En passant

This exhibition brings together works that deal with ephemeral aspects of existence in a poetic, non-didactic manner. In contrast to the more analytical approach often taken when presenting contemporary art, the motive behind this show is to suggest feelings, memories and visions that gather around the notion of temporality, and encourage a contemplative response. In Passing/en passant includes encaustic paintings and works on paper by Halifax-based artists Suzanne Gauthier and Susan Wood, and introduces the mixed media installations of PEI artist Gerald Beaulieu and Fredricton-based artist Rick Burns to the Halifax audience. Curated by Susan Gibson Garvey, the exhibition has received funding from the Nova Scotia Arts Council.
