Jamelie Hassan: At the Far Edge of Words
ARTIST’S PRESENTATION Thursday 22 September at 8 PM This survey exhibition traces four decades of art-making by London, Ontario artist Jamelie Hassan and presents a body of work that intertwines her enduring interests in text, language, memory, personal history, and identity. Her pioneering practice steadfastly asserts that artists have a responsibility to address the critical issues of our time, while her geographical location in the ‘regions’ of Southwestern Ontario grounds her practice.
Materials and Space: A Selection of Recent Acquisitions 2007 - 2010
Displayed in two sections, this exhibition presents a selection of contemporary works from the Gallery’s permanent collection that have been acquired since Peter Dykhuis was appointed Director/Curator in August, 2007. The works in the first section share an origin in the practice of process art combined with a post-conceptualist, utilitarian approach to materials. Ten are by Garry Neill Kennedy, former President of the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design, and were donated to the Gallery by the artist in 2010.
