SUMMARY:Art Opening Celebration (with Artist Talk by Michael Campbell) | Field Recordings of Icebergs Melting
DESCRIPTION:ART OPENING CELEBRATION (WITH ARTIST TALK) \nField Recordings of Icebergs Melting by multi-media artist Michael Campbell will open at the Comox Valley Art Gallery on Friday\, June 19. Doors open at 4:00pm to view the new exhibition. \nAt 5:30pm\, there will be an artist talk\, followed by a casual reception and hospitality. Everyone is welcome. \n— \n\n\nFIELD RECORDINGS OF ICEBERGS MELTING \nArtist Michael Campbell’s multi-media exhibition “. . . brings into play its place in the cultural imagination of a frontier zone of extreme conditions\, and its history during the period of European expansion from the 16th to the 20th centuries. The allusion conjures the stream of survey ships that sought the north-west Passage of the North Pole\, strove to classify species and peoples\, and to map the New World. It further speaks to present day resource extraction and climate change monitoring\, the forays of animal rights activists and increasingly\, military survey flights asserting territorial claims. . . . Its steam punk ethos with its fusion of Victorian Era and future technologies sets an undercurrent of planetary emergency in motion. . . .” – Jan Allen \n— \nThe Comox Valley Art Gallery is committed to creating safer spaces where everyone can participate. \nAll ages are welcome. \nCVAG spaces are accessible. Efforts are made to make presented programming contents available to all by using approachable audio and visual technologies to aid in experience and wayfinding. Staff are available to answer any questions and to provide orientation to the presentation and gallery spaces. \nPrograms are barrier-free (no cost). DONATIONS are appreciated and contribute to ongoing community interactive programming. \nPUBLIC HEALTH CONSIDERATIONS: we ask that visitors choose not to visit if they are experiencing symptoms of colds and flus. \nHand sanitation dispensers are available at CVAG. Wearing a mask is at the discretion of the visitor.
