  • Tiny Takeover

    Centre for Art Tapes in Partnership with a Tiny Lab for Early Learning, 2018

    This exhibition featured works by Andrew Coll and Craig Lang, Emily Hamel, Emily Lawrence and Kylie Dyment, April White and William Wegman. The works were intended to introduce kids to a variety of media art themes and techniques. The works were then reviewed and critiqued by the students (ages 3- 6) of a Tiny Lab for Early Learning. The resulting reviews were put together in a publication released alongside the exhibition.

    Publication available through the Centre for Art Tapes.

  • Nocturne

    Nocturne 2019

    Scaffold was a reflection on a city in transition. The previous years of Halifax Regional Municipality had seen the rapid upward expansion of the downtown core, the loss of some beloved historic spaces, and the addition of some less-loved new ones. Often, the structures designed to temporarily hold up the active assembly and disassembly of our infrastructure create a new version of our city - adding detours to our commutes, turning walking routes into a series of scaffolding tunnels, and speckling our skyline with cranes. The 2019 Nocturne Art at Night Festival embraced this time of change to reimagine the city with new materials, new ideals, and a sense of humour.

    The festival brought together 100s of artists and projects, including works by Caroline Monnet, Tough Guy Mountain, Jonathan Monaghan, Nathalie Quagliotto and Kastor and Pollux.
