Search & Rescue

Seven up-and-coming artists in the Halifax area took over the Dalhousie Art Gallery.  Themes of salvage, intervention, deconstruction and personal reconstruction pervaded the work of these (mostly) recent graduates.  Their installations, video, and performance works reflected an aesthetic attitude that rejects permanence and the heroic gesture in favour of the immediate and the autobiographical.
