  • Sometimes in the night, the fox slips by | Artlab Gallery

    January 7 - February 3, 2022

    Studio Ph.D. candidates from the Department of Visual Arts present Sometimes in the night, the fox slips by, a group exhibition of recent work by Anah铆 Gonz谩lez, Philip Gurrey, Dong-Kyoon Nam and Sasha Opeiko. The show gathers a broad spectrum of investigations sharing a common interest in the relationship between poetic and theoretical potential in making. Some orient themselves toward the political, looking at labour issues both in Canada and abroad. Others probe the language of modernism with strategies centred on improvisation and decay. Others still, use a posthumanist perspective to deconstruct notions of the readymade or to renegotiate representations of melancholy. In concert they are the fox of John Burnside鈥檚 poem, deftly weaving a path through fence and thicket.
