Autoshow

September 20, 2008 - November 02, 2008
North Bay artists, David Carlin, Lori Grace Johnson, Dermot Wilson
These three artists from North Bay explore the postmodern irony that the automobile "culture" has evolved into. The will to go faster and the aesthetics of speed have become symbolic of power and all its accoutrements. Yet the accidental implications of technology gone awry are made manifest daily. Autoshow re-examines and re-interprets the car as a symbol of progress at a time when progress seems impossible and accidents inevitable.
Opening reception: Saturday, September 20th
Artist talk: 1:00 to 2:00 pm
Reception: 2:00 to 4:00 pm
Free admission opening day

Paintings from Monica Tap
This series of paintings is based on videos of landscape captured while traveling along the Hudson River in New York State and more locally, trips on Hwy. 69 in northern Ontario. “Her practice opens up a space between landscape and abstraction, and navigates the terrain between painting and other media.” Sarah Beveridge
