Depicting geographical, social and cultural environments
Station Gallery welcomes Sackville, New Brunswick-based printmaker Dan Steeves for his exhibition Tantramar Gothic: Dan Steeves opening September 6, 2008 at 1 PM. Join artist Dan Steeves as he provides an in-depth walk through of his latest work during the opening reception September 6 – all are welcome, admission is free.
Steeves’s work is made of images depicting the geographic, social, and cultural environments of the Tantramar Marsh region in the southernmost part of the province. Tantramar Gothic: Dan Steeves will bring together the artists new and recent etchings which enquire into the upheaval and changes of the Marsh’s evolving place in the twenty-first century economic and cultural scheme of thing, and which consequently forge an aesthetically meaningful trans-regional link with the absent marshlands of Whitby, filled in and paved over in the economic frenzy of urbanization. Join Station Gallery Curator Olexander Wlasenko for the “Curator’s Walk & Talk” September 18, 2008 at 7 PM to learn more about this exhibition.
Dan Steeves: Exclusive Workshop Opportunity
Station Gallery is honoured to host internationally acclaimed printmaker
Dan Steeves as artist-in-residence for an exclusive workshop experience
September 7, 2008 in conjunction with his latest art exhibition which
is on view until October 18, 2008.
Station Gallery’s association with printmaking is longstanding, tracing back to the gallery’s founding in 1970. The gallery’s Nicholas Novak Print Studio honouring the late Toronto-based printmaker who created a great deal of work here, and the gallery’s Permanent Collection largely made up of prints works by some of Canada’s most prominent artists (Rita Letendre, Janet Cardiff, Michael Snow, Reinhard Reitzenstein, Ted Fullerton, etc.) give historic and artistic authority to an exhibition of the work of a highly respected and accomplished contemporary Canadian printmaker from outside the region and province.
Tantramar Gothic: Dan Steeves has, then, two objectives: proffer a curatorially focused introduction of the work of this Maritime artist to an Ontario audience; and reconnect Station Gallery with its historical origins. The workshop entitled “Time with Dan” provides an opportunity to artists of all levels for the cost of $40 for gallery members and $45 for non-members; the session runs September 7, 2008 from 12 – 4 PM at Whitby’s Station Gallery, pre-registration required. Interested artists can register online at www.whitbystationgallery.com or by phone at 905-668-4185.
