SUMMARY:HOMES | INVESTMENTS
DESCRIPTION:Are homes for people or for markets?\nCo-presented with Eastern Front Theatre and The Craig Gallery as part of StageWorks\n \nVisiting Hours:\nLocated in the Alderney Landing Rotunda (just outside the theatre) as well as outside The Craig Gallery on the building’s main floor. \nThe exhibition will be accessible January 18-23. Exact visiting hours TBA. Stay tuned! \nWhile you’re here\, don’t forget to also check out A Timed Speed-Read of the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire Trial Transcript (with additional notes) playing at the Alderney Landing Theatre January 21-23. \n\nHOMES | INVESTMENTS includes a series of screen prints\, videos\, installations and sculptures that explore the dysfunctions of a housing system that conflates Housing as human right with Housing as financial asset. \n \nThe works consider the material language of the residential building industry and the agency of skilled trades workers in the crisis. A major component of the exhibition is the introduction of the term “the Speculator’s Gaze” which describes a way of seeing that divorces a Home(land) from all the things that make it a Home(land) and presents only a commodity for possession\, extraction and speculation. Among other things\, the exhibition includes a 15ft tall sculpture of one square foot of the corner of a house\, built to a 1:1 scale\, and according to Section 9 of the Canadian National Building Code. \n \nThe exhibition also includes a video showing documentation of a participatory workshop that Zachary facilitated for Mount Allison University Students in which we built an emergency housing shelter following the design by Halifax Mutual Aid. Zachary created this work during their time as Pierre Lassonde Artist in Residence at Mount Allison University School of Fine Art. \n\nZachary Gough is an artist that works collaboratively and responsively with other artists\, community groups and organizations to promote alternative economic systems and toward deconstructing the capitalist viral value paradigm and its manifestations. He often uses participatory and immaterial media\, such as radio and performance\, to address materialist concerns\, such as labour\, power\, debt\, education\, and liberation. Zach is a member of “Weird Allan Kaprow”\, a post-colonial conceptual karaoke art-band\, in which he goes by “Joseph Beuys II Men”. Zach is a graduate of the art and social practice MFA program at Portland State University in Oregon. He was recently named the Pierre Lassonde Artist in Residence at Mount Allison University. Zach has taught classes at Portland State University in Oregon and at NSCAD University in K’jipuktuk\, Mi’kmaqi (Halifax\, NS). \n \n\nThank you to our sponsors!
