Description:

Join Union Gallery in welcoming the artists and for the launch of two new fall exhibitions: Emily Jan's "After the Hunt" (Main Space) and Anne Billy's "Fleeting Memory" (Project Room). This event is free and open to all.

After the Hunt features a three-dimensional life-sized tableau based upon the visual language of 17th century Dutch still-life painting that comments upon the excesses of modern society both materially, through accretion of labour and matter, and conceptually, by referencing the 'embarrassment of riches' for which the Dutch Golden Age was known.

Fleeting Memory features several works that explore how materials are used to address various facets of the human condition. Billy focuses on fibre and textile-work as a way to emotionally-charge her material investigations. Fleeting Memory reflects the dynamism between absence and presence, and the lived experiences and memories related to such conditions.
