Craig Leonard – The Halifax Conference
Book launch and performance

The Halifax Conference presents a transcript of a conference held at the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design on October 5–6, 1970, transcribed and adapted by artist Craig Leonard.

Organized by Seth Siegelaub, the Conference was conceived as a means of bringing about a “meeting of artists…[from] diverse art making experiences and art positions…in as general a situation as possible.” Infamously, the conference was held in the college’s boardroom, while students and other interested parties watched the proceedings on a video monitor in a separate space. The result was a conversation that devolved—technologically and ideologically—into a quasi-tragicomic farce, punctuated by remarkable moments of rupture initiated by activist resistance to the Conference from the outside and dissenting voices from within.

Attendees at the Conference included Carl Andre, Joseph Beuys, Ronald Bladen, Daniel Buren, Gene Davis, Jan Dibbets, Al Held, Mario Merz, Robert Morris, Robert Murray, N.E.Thing Co. (Iain and Ingrid Baxter), Richard Serra, Richard Smith, Robert Smithson, Michael Snow, and Lawrence Weiner.

undergraduate exhibitors — Gallery 2

Four painters will explore modes of non-traditional portraiture in here nor there. Painting is a medium that calls into question reality versus reinterpretation, as the act of constructing an image becomes inescapably personal. Is a painting more or less authentic due to its inherent subjectivity? A variety of contemporary portrait methods will be on display, creating a diverse conversation involving the renegotiation of images.Splurge
Alexandra Gasparis
undergraduate exhibitor— Gallery 3

With a fondness for material that has outlived its intended use, Gasparis collects textures, colors, and form. Material is manipulated and juxtaposed to create playful, vibrant pieces that serve as adornment, small-scale furniture, and sculpture.

Arjun Lal, undergraduate exhibitor — Gallery 3
Artist Talk: Thursday, August 8, 12 Noon

Lal offers, “As a queer artist, I feel pressure to constantly shape my work to fit within heteronormative spaces and audiences. Reviewing and editing has always played a big role with how I present myself and when choosing ideas to share. The creation of my alternative-ego, Vagine, has allowed me to let my guard down and share other parts of myself in a safer space. I think its important to recognize that public spaces are mostly heteronormative which makes additions of queer content challenging.”

visiting artist, with support from Arts Nova Scotia — Gallery 2
Artist Talk: Wednesday, July 24, 12 Noon��

Once abundant and bountiful, lobsters were previously served as prison food and used as fish bait and garden fertilizer. It wasn’t until the mid 19th century that lobsters were recognized as haute cuisine elevating its marginal status into an aristocratic one. Besides its innate capability to continually molt, lobsters possess unique anatomy. Supposedly, the stoic crustacean cannot process ��ܽ����Ƶ pain due to the absence of cerebral cortex. In addition to this strange biological phenomenon, its brain is located in its throat, nervous system in its abdomen, teeth in its stomach and kidneys in its head. It listens with its legs and tastes with its toes.

Patrick Cruz a Filipino-Canadian artist working between Toronto, Canada, and Quezon City, Philippines. Cruz studied Fine Arts at the University of The Philippines and received his BFA from Emily Carr University of Art + Design and an MFA at the University of Guelph. Cruz is the founder of Kamias Special Projects, an artist-run space in Quezon City, Philippines that hosts the Kamias Triennial; a platform for cross-cultural exchange and experimental curatorial strategies.����In 2015, Cruz won the national title for the 17th annual RBC Canadian Painting Competition and was recently longlisted at the 2019 Sobey Arts Award.July 23 – 27, 2019

Flagging Velvet
Maddie Alexander, Dana Buzzee & Wren Morris��— Gallery 3

Alexander, Buzzee and Morris offer documents of queer sexualities and desires which reclaim context and space from a conventional hetero gaze. Through a multidisciplinary approach they create community-based pornographies that seek to honour historical leather dyke culture, while contributing to its contemporary current, offering audiences a view of self-determined representation of queer + trans sex and empowered BDSM play.

Artist Talk + Performance: Wednesday, July 24, 5-6pm

Maddie Alexander and Wren Morris will present a talk and performance in the exhibition space for “Flagging Velvet”, from 5-6pm in Gallery 3. The talk will explore the work within the gallery, as well as a frank and intimate conversation between the artists about what queer sexuality and desire means to them. Through the duration of this talk, Morris will be doing a live Shibari (or Kinbaku) rope tie on Alexander. We also welcome the audience to engage in the conversation, and there will be a Q + A at the end of the performance.

Accessibility notes: Gallery 3 is located down two half flights of stairs in an “L” shape. To avoid using the stairs and access Gallery 3 gallery staff will accompany you outside to the Gallery 3 entrance on Hollis street, a 30 sec trip from the main door. The two washrooms are at the back of the gallery, up a flight of stairs through a small hall and then down a second flight of stairs. They are both gender neutral. Unfortunately the gallery does not have wheelchair accessible washrooms on site but gallery staff can assist in taking you to the closest wheelchair washroom on campus.

Preparation Suites  — Celeste Cares & Alex Sutcliffe, undergraduate exhibitors — Gallery 1

Celeste Cares paints a mushy, girlish muse in various states of activity. Applying lipstick; combing hair; spilling coffee – these states of getting ready prove to be messy, chaotic, and fun. Alex Sutcliffe’s oil paintings abstract figures and forms in nebulous, unreal landscapes. Muted colours and rich brushwork reveal hazy figures that wait, withdraw, and dance in a visualized space of existential malaise, suspended on a stage where they prepare for nothingness.July 17, 2019

Ocean Treasures: Anthropocene Artifacts —
Jennifer McLatchy, IDPhD Candidate— Gallery 2A

Artist-researcher Jennifer MacLatchy combs shorelines in Nova Scotia by kayak and by foot, searching for and collecting marine debris, or, anthropocene era artifacts. This exhibition is a museum-like display of artifacts that have been documented and preserved with great care in order to study the relationship between humans and the ocean in a time of great change and loss. This work is an enactment of small acts of great care aimed at addressing massive and overwhelming environmental problems. In doing this, it engages with feelings of futility, grief, and maybe hope.Not Place
