Vanessa Dion Fletcher: Relative Gradient

Open: Friday, August 25 – Saturday, October 14, 2023

Opening Reception: Friday, August 25 | 7 PM – 9 PM

Artist Talk: Thursday September 21 | 7 PM – 9 PM

Vanessa Dion Fletcher is a Lenape and Potawatomi neurodiverse artist; her family is from Eelūnaapèewii Lahkèewiitt (displaced from Lenapehoking) and European settlers. Relative Gradient includes recent works that expand the possibilities of contemporary quillwork. She transforms this surface embroidery technique into textile design and vinyl imagery, playing with geometric shapes and repeating patterns. Taken together, these works build on Vanessa’s continued exploration of what it means to live in an Indigenous, gendered body with a neurodiverse mind.

The artist would like to acknowledge the support of the Toronto Arts Council, The Canada Council for the Arts, and the UBC Okanagan Indigenous Arts Intensive. The artist would also like to thank Matthew Walker of Sculptural Trades Inc. for their work fabricating Relative Saturation.

Continuous Memory: Max Lupo and José Andrés Mora

Open: Friday, October 20 – Wednesday December 6, 2023

Opening Reception: Friday, October 20 | 7 PM – 9 PM

Max Lupo and José Andrés Mora explore the power and playfulness of words using technology. Mora’s videos and prints open up conversations about memory, cultural hybridity, and assimilation while highlighting the intimacy of language. Lupo reprograms obsolete devices, like typewriters and rotary phones, to reveal personal stories and machine-made wisdom. Taken together, the works in Continuous Memory ask us to consider what is required to give meaning to language, and how that meaning can change as our relationships to words shift.
