emig research

There are two images in this post from the final day of preparation before the Opening on September 23rd. This piece was constructed in Moscow over several very intense days. Minimal items were brought from Canada to Russia. This is an improvisational sculpture of sorts. More images to follow as well as a new website.

I am participating the The Forth Moscow Biennale of Contemporary Art running from September 22 to October 11th in Moscow in an exhibition entitled “Flowing With”. I am exhibiting with Svetlana Swinimer and Jean Halstead who are two fellow artists from Enriched Bread Artists Studios in Ottawa Canada.

A new website will be online very soon with more information.

It has been a while since this blog has been updated.

There is a new Emig Research site under construction that will be online soon.

Paul Bellini, a columnist for Fab Magazine, wrote a blog post about the Enriched Bread Artist’s Verticality Exhibition at O’Connor Gallery at opened on January 9th, 2009.

The post can be found here.

This exhibition is the one that EBA & Gallery 101 put on at Gallery 101 in Ottawa in August 2008. I have one piece in the exhibition entitled “Spatial Blue”.

I find that there is so much discussion about computer security and then I come across things like this article with a quote “This is serious security”. I wonder what all the other people who claim they are secure are actually doing. See the article here.

As previously mentioned in this blog, I built the set for Propeller Dance’s “ViewFinder” Performance at Arts Court Theatre in Ottawa. Renata Soutter and Alan Shain were interviewed this morning on CBC Radio 1 in Ottawa.

The interview can be heard in Real Audio via the link found on CBC’s Ottawa Morning Website at http://www.cbc.ca/ottawamorning/archives.html on November 14, 2008 under the title of Propeller Dance: unique dance troupe at Arts Court

Emig Research is doing the set design for a dance performance entitled “View Finder” by Propeller Dance to be staged at Arts Court Theatre in Ottawa on November 13th and 14th at 7:30 pm. Tickets are available at the Arts Court Box Office: 613-564-7240. This is a performance by three dancers, Renata Soutter, Shara Weaver, and Alan Shain in an exploration of time and space. More information to follow.

Continuum was originally created as triptych for my 2007 exhibition entitled “Continuum” at Axeneo7, an artist run centre in Gatineau, Canada. There are two of the three on display at the 2008 EBA Open Studio. These large-scale works measuring 352 cm x 200 cm x 38 cm are constructed of high-density plywood, mirror, fluorescent lights, and paint surrounded by a cherry veneer frame.

Find below five different images of the two Continuum works at EBA.
