ONGOING
Gagné Contemporary is pleased to present "The Mirror Crack’d from Side to Side", a show of diptychs in paint, photography, assemblage, ceramics and video.
The show runs to Saturday, May 2.
Seen here is "Mount Rundle/Policeman's Creek" by Meagan Williams. Archival pigment print, matte with wood frame. It measures 19x33".
From Meagan – "For this piece, I shot each image on C41 colour film on a medium format camera, then exposed the rolls to a film soup (hot water and chemicals designed to promote colour shifting) before drying and processing. After the images are shot, each piece takes about 3 months to produce. I included acidic natural materials from near the spot I was shooting – in this case, pine needles and sap."
There are 12 artists in the show – Alison Brannen, Lori Coulter, Nick Fox-Gieg, Bill Greaves, Horst Herget, Cate McGuire, Erik Mohr, Ella Morton, Stan Olthuis, Howard Podeswa, Jobelle Quijano, and Meagan Williams.
We're here Wednesday to Saturday, 12-6pm. Do come by.

OPENING APRIL 10
Gagné Contemporary is pleased to present "The Mirror Crack’d from Side to Side", a show of diptychs in paint, photography, assemblage, ceramics and video.
Please join us for the Opening on Friday, April 10 from 6-8pm.

In Alfred, Lord Tennyson’s poem The Lady of Shalott, the shattering of a mirror marks the exact moment a solitary, reflected existence collides with the chaos of the real world. To look directly is to break the frame.
"The Mirror Crack’d from Side to Side" takes this rupture as a starting point, exploring the diptych as an artistic practice defined by the break in our field of vision.
