KELLY PHILLIPS - ROAD RUNES
ETCHINGS / INSTALLATION - VANCOUVER
June 7 to July 19, 2008
Opening: Saturday, June 7 @ 7pm
Vancouver Artist Kelly Phillips presents a unique installation of large graphite etchings and pewter castings of Highway 587 to Silver Islet. By bringing graphite and paper to bear on 587 through direct pressure frottages, Phillips attempts, like long ago monks and alchemists to “read” the story of the road revealed on its surface. Its “material failure”, as geologists would call it, is a record of the struggle for scarce resources as much as the impact of extreme weather. The “road runes” record the environmental conditions of northern Ontario as well as its social and political geography. Gala Opening Reception of three exhibitions and performance art: Art + Refreshments + Music. See FLY ON THE WALL - [downtown northcore alley’s will be a place of discovery with art performances - take the guided tour] - and there will be exquisite birthday cupcakes, artist talks and much much more... It all starts Sat. June 7 @ 7:00pm during The City of Thunder Bay Great Weekend / Harbour Arts Festival!
