Exhibition Opening Reception
Karin Jones and Amy Malbeuf: Labour's trace
Saturday, February 15, 2:00-4:00pm
Artist Talk & Tour, 1:00-2:00pm
Labour’s trace a new exhibition by Karin Jones an interdisciplinary artist of African-Nova Scotian heritage and Amy Malbeuf a Métis visual artist from Rich Lake, Alberta. Jones and Malbeuf are makers of objects, transforming and subverting traditional and contemporary materials and processes through their investigations of cultural identity and historical narratives. Working with a disparate assembly of metal, leather, hominy, beads, tarpaulins, or animal and human hair, their objects are contemplations on labour — reflecting ideas connected to livelihood and histories of colonization. The artists will both be in attendance.
