"... I was able to make a simple gesture which left no permanent
mark on the land."In 1979 Marlene Creates signaled her intent. In
contrast to the monumental earthworks of that time, she revealed
that her interest in the intersection of art and the natural world
was with the ephemeral, the small scale, and the non-monumental,
and with place, "not as a geographical location," she writes, "but
as a process that involves memory, multiple narratives, ecology,
language, and both scientific and vernacular knowledge."
Supplementing the impermanence of her artistic gestures with the
technology of photography, Creates found an audience and created a
body of work without peer.Creates has sensitvely probed the
relationship between human experience and the natural world for
almost four decades. From her early works that record traces of the
human body on the land to her later explorations of poetry in situ
in the boreal forest and photography as an active medium -- where
the rush of water over the lens transforms the artist's own image
-- Creates leads us with an environmental and cultural
consciousness to a greater understanding of the language of the
natural world and our "places" in it.It is no easy task to sum up,
in a single book, a career that privileges the act over the
artifact, the moment over the monument. But under the direction of
curator-critics Susan Gibson Garvey and Andrea Kunard, Marlene
Creates: Places, Paths, and Pauses offers not only a broad view of
her work in photography but also a critical appreciation of her
multi-disciplinary approach (assemblages, memory-map drawings, and
video-poems) through essays by Gibson Garvey and Kunard, art
historian Joan M. Schwartz, nature writer Robert Macfarlane, and
poet Don McKay.Marlene Creates: Places, Paths, and Pauses
accompanies a major retrospective touring exhibition organized by
the Beaverbrook Art Gallery in partnership with the Dalhousie Art
Gallery. It will open in Fredericton in September 2017 and
thereafter will be shown at galleries in Halifax, Charlottetown,
St. John's, and other venues in central and western Canada.
