CURRENT EXHIBITION Main Gallery: 7 January - 4 March 2012 Jacqueline Riemer: Six Low-Cast Maidens in Search of a Porch Curator: Robin Metcalfe Concert: Friday, 24 February 2012, 8:00 pm The Caryatids wander away from the porch of the Erechtheion, on the Acropolis at Athens, in this installation of sculptural forms by Nova Scotian artist, Jacqueline Riemer. Dealing with issues of embodiment and ego, and informed by a Buddhist perspective, Riemer has imagined the Caryatids freed from their architectural function and wandering in search of a new context. She represents the female body in three degrees of abstraction, ranging from Sono tubes to dress-forms to wax body-casts. The displacement of these Maidens questions the place of the female body in sculpture and architecture, while addressing issues of embodiment and ego. Visit the Atrium building on the Saint Mary's campus to view another component to this exhibition.
Side Gallery: 7 January - 4 March 2012 Quintet: A Conversation in Design Artists: Wing-Ki Chan, Martha Glenny, Shona Kearney, Paul McClure, Katharina Miller Organised & circulated by George Brown College Opening Reception: Friday, 6 January 2012, 8:00 pm The artists will also conduct workshops for NSCAD students, 28 February to 2 March 2012. Quintet represents recent work in jewellery design by five instructors in the Jewellery Studies department of Toronto's George Brown College, three of whom share a history associated with NSCAD University (Nova Scotia College of Art and Design) in Halifax. This tale of two schools represents a dialogue among artists who are institutional colleagues in material and pedagogical practices. In distinctive ways, all five artists examine the relationship between sign and referent, and the dynamics of embodiment, enacted both by visual representation and by interaction with the body of the wearer.
