Jean Cocteau: Trans-Genre Genius

20 October – 8 December, 2004

The 20th Century French poet, filmmaker, artist, playwright, theatre designer and gay gadfly Jean Cocteau was often dismissed as much as celebrated. The protean artist collaborated with many of the key personalities - Diaghilev, Satie, Picasso, Bresson - who shaped music, visual arts, theatre, and the cinema in the early decades of the 20th Century. His small but crucial body of films are featured in this concise survey that begins with a documentary filmed in the artist's final years, as he decorates the interior of a chapel in the South of France.

Exhibition

at play (sculpture and drawings by Stephen Schofield)

15 October – 28 November, 2004

Curated by Ian McKinnon, this exhibition presents a selection of Montreal-based artist Stephen Schofield’s sculptural works and drawings. Ambiguous, playful and often sensuously surreal, they deal with oppositions — now and then, inside and outside, presence and absence, innocence and knowledge, strength and vulnerability — in relation to the body as a sexual and aesthetic subjectivity.

Film Noir at Five o'Clock

17 – 25 September, 2004

Our annual collaboration with the Atlantic Film Festival continues with a series of screenings at 5pm each day of the festival. This year we feature key works from the film noir canon, from 1941 to 1955. Gritty, urban films full of hard-bitten men and femmes fatale, film noir continues to fascinate and inspire cinephiles fifty years after its heyday.

Paul Bernhardt: The Alien Shore

13 May – 4 July, 2004

Opening: Wednesday, 12 May at 7:00pm

These unusual mixed-media paintings on steel by Halifax-based emerging artist Paul Bernhardt explore the tension between various oppositions: image and surface, beauty and toxicity, abstraction and figuration. Landscape references emerge from the the richly-worked steel surfaces, on which the artist has used abrasive tools, rusting and patinating agents, as well as oil, tar and enamel. Viewers are both attracted and repelled by the resultant works and their layered implications.
