Event Description

Walls can both protect and isolate. In different configurations the wall offers different amounts of stability, protection, and isolation for the performer as well as the audience. Each wall has a serious flaw and the audience watches at the wall topples, is not high enough to protect, is damaging to the performer, or is otherwise inadequate. This work is about protection as well as vulnerability, and the failure of the artist to build a wall becomes exaggerated through repeatedly attempting different configurations. The work uses humour and absurdity to confront issues of protection, frailty, isolation, failure, and building barriers.

Stacey Cann is a multidisciplinary artist working in Edmonton, Alberta. She has shown at the Illingworth Kerr Gallery, The Ministry of Casual Living, Latitude 53 Contemporary Visual Culture, Harcourt House Artist Run Centre and the International Print Centre New York among others. Her work involves durational elements whose mundane nature borders on the absurd, and she is interested in how we present ourselves in the commonplace of our daily life. She has a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in Print Media from Alberta College of Art and Design as well as a Masters of Arts in Art Education from Concordia University.
________________________________________

the fifty fifty arts collective is comprised of individuals living and working on unceded and occupied First Nations Territories, specifically the lands of the Songhees and Esquimalt Nations, as well as the W̱SÁNEĆ, Sc'ianew and T'Souke First Nations.

The programming space itself is situated on Songhees and Esquimalt Territory but engages with individuals and communities across Turtle Island.

As a collective we endeavour to deepen our own understandings of how we are implicated in the history and in the present ongoing project of settler colonialism. As members of the fifty fifty arts collective we continually responsibilize ourselves to the complex kind of space that is the fifty fifty which hosts and facilitates the dissemination of the ideas and work of others.
