ナディンさんの個展がカナダのイースタンエッジ・ギャラリーで開催中です。
Eastern Edge is excited to present Alive Matter, a Main Gallery exhibition by our recent artist in residence, Nadine Baldow! Nadine has worked so incredibly hard in the studio to prepare for this show, and we cannot wait to share it with you. Join us for an opening reception on Friday, May 24th from 6-8pm!
Nadine will be giving a talk & tour of the exhibition during the reception, starting at around 6:30pm. You definitely do not want to miss it!! As usual, we will have snacks and refreshments to go around.
Nadine Baldow’s practice is informed by the current geological era, known as the Anthropocene, where traces of human activity become embedded within planet Earth. Are we still part of nature? Or have humans created a new kind of nature? Perhaps estrangement from nature started with a fence: did the first artificial boundary create a gap between man and nature?
Her solo exhibition Alive Matter at Eastern Edge Gallery follows her recent residency (March 29 – May 11, 2024) and is questioning the relationship between “nature” and “culture” on the Avalon Peninsula.
For six weeks, Baldow investigated the landscape by walking, driving, collecting, and engaging with local experts, including fishermen.
The exhibition consists of one site-specific sculpture and one wall piece stemming from this Landscape Investigation. The sculpture is a hybrid of “dead” and “alive” materials sourced locally, such as bones, feathers, fishing gear, moss, and driftwood. It has been developed specifically for Eastern Edge Gallery’s space.
