to Dec 13. Jaimie Robson’s Uprooted is an immersive installation that explores British Columbia’s ancestral forests at a time of wildfires, uncertainty and uprooting.The central piece in the exhibition is comprised of one hundred miniature houses, each intricately cut from black paper. Suspended from the ceiling, these blackened homes hang in uncertainty, while simultaneously creating a dream-like environment. It contemplates the notion of home and evokes collective loss and grief in relation to impending climate change.

Art Exhibition – GPAG: Helena Wadsley | Words Matter (sculpture)
to Nov 23rd. In Words Matter in the Main Gallery, Gibsons artist Helena Wadsley alters books to take on a sculptural form based on their contents, asking us to consider how we use words that may be oppressive or perpetuate difference and otherness. Wadsley transforms books into tactile sculptural forms that draw attention to histories embedded in language. Language is biased; what gets written in history books is skewed therefore, Wadsley alters the book in a way that speaks to its context, generally incorporating a textile technique. Each piece has its own narrative. “Learning Language” for example, was created with a book found at an abandoned camp in the Yukon.

Art Exhibition: GPAG – When it Breaks, Let it Shatter | Megan Dewar
to Sept 14th in Joe’s Lounge. Megan Dewar (she/her) is a disabled mosaic artist and settler living on Shíshálh territory. The practice of mosaic allows Dewar to sit with broken things and consider how she relates to them, and how they are related to the transformation she dreams about embedded in disability justice. She is continually grateful for the lessons the practice of mosaic holds about expression, identity, subversion, and interdependence. When it Breaks, Let it Shatter engages in the idea of breakage as a catalyst for acceptance, growth, authenticity; and away from the ideas of breakage requiring fixing or disposing.
When it is the barriers, systems of oppression, and stigmas that break, let them shatter.
Art Exhibition: GPAG – MYRON JONES | Toward the Light
Minimalist and representational landscapes in the Eve Smart Gallery based on the local coastline and other areas abroad span a period of years, highlighting the development of a style and a variety of interpretations of place and the coastal landscape.

Art Exhibition: GPAG – TIKO KERR | Motion Pictures
Kerr’s work is concerned with perception; how we individually interpret the world that we see, and how the relations between space, colour, form, and line can give us insight into the psychological landscape of the 21st Century Western World. Kerr incises paper with scissors before applying colours, abstract shapes, and expressionistic action, creating compositions layered into successive sheets of plexiglass; these improvisational hybrids of painting, relief, and sculpture act as windows into our contemporary moment activated by movement into ever-changing systems where some shapes appear while others vanish, or are hidden by limitations, obstacles, and shadows. An exhibition in the Main Gallery.
Join us for the Opening Reception on Sat. Aug 23rd, 2pm – 4pm. All are welcome!
