A fresh look at what is going on in the world of Atlantic Canadian
art.Materiality and Perception in Contemporary Atlantic Art
showcases over forty contemporary works of art from Atlantic
Canada, from established artists such as Freeman Patterson, Gerald
Beaulieu, Dawn MacNutt, and Alan Syliboy to emerging artists such
as Emma Hassencahl-Perley, Ursula Johnson, and Marie Fox. This is
art engaged with contemporary conversations: the frailty of bodies
and land, the interactions between people and environment,
Indigenous - Settler relations, and the inner and outer markings of
identity.Focusing intently on the materiality of the objects
themselves -- from jewellery to photographs, from carved paddles to
video installations -- the works selected for this publication and
the associated exhibition ask viewers to look again, challenging
their initial perceptions about what they see and what they
perceive about the context in which the work is made.Tom Smart's
accompanying essay introduces each work and its context and
discusses the role of the viewer in interpreting art objects and
creating meaning, whether viewing works as discrete individual
objects or as part of the larger, holistic whole.Materiality and
Perception in Contemporary Atlantic Art accompanies the 2019 Marion
McCain Exhibition of Atlantic Art at the Beaverbrook Art Gallery.
