The Aesthetic of Silence: Shelley Vanderbyl + Lam Wong
Campbell River Art Gallery (Satellite Gallery)
March 6 to May 15, 2021
Curated by Jenelle M. Pasiechnik
This three part group exhibition aims to explore the relationship between the ethics of taking care, taking care as related to art practices and professions, prioritizing the self, and the fatigue that results from community members sharing their experiences, and educating the public. The aim of the exhibition is to create a space of safety and knowledge, where people feel welcome to share their experiences and connect with others around issues pertinent to mental and physical well being. Each issue will feature 1-2 artists’ work as well as community components and participation. The Satellite Gallery offers opportunities for a more discursive approach that fosters ongoing conversations over the course of an exhibition year, resulting in a deepening and widening of subject explorations. Monthly Workshops: Seven monthly workshops developed with local partners.
Phase 1: Art as a meditative and therapeutic pursuit
Phase 2: Deconstructing the tokenization of BIPOC artists and resulting burnout
Phase 3: Needs: Rest and sustenance
