SUMMARY:SF Ho Artist talk + Closing reception
DESCRIPTION:Exhibition \nSF Ho \nTRIPLE BURNER FLOWER FIELD \n15 January – 8 March 2025 \nWednesdays to Saturdays\, 1 – 5PM \nAdmission is free \nArtist Talk by SF Ho \nSaturday\, March 8\, 2025 \n5:30 PM – 6:30 PM \nNotably\, a Book Lover’s Emporium (454 Ward St. Nelson\, BC) \nSuggested donation: $5 – $20 per person \nClosing Reception \nSaturday\, March 8\, 2025 \n6:30 PM – 8:00 PM \nOxygen Art Centre (#3-320 Vernon St. (alleyway entrance)\, Nelson\, BC) \nAdmission is free \nOxygen Art Centre presents two events to commemorate the closing of SF Ho’s exhibition TRIPLE BURNER FLOWER FIELD. The exhibition has been on view at the artist-run centre since January 15\, 2025\, following Ho’s residency in November and December 2024. \nThe public are invited to attend an artist talk by SF Ho held at Notably\, a Book Lover’s Emporium at 454 Ward St. Nelson\, BC\, on Saturday\, March 8\, 2025\, at 5:30pm. Admission is a suggested donation of $5 – $20 per person at the door. \nThe artist talk will feature background on the Vancouver-based writer and artist’s practice and current research that led to the exhibition\, TRIPLE BURNER FLOWER FIELD. A slide presentation will accompany the talk. Topics will range from Traditional Chinese Medicine and plant cultivation and use in artistic practice\, to historical research into Chinese agrarian and cultural practices. \nFollowing the artist talk\, the public are invited to the artist-run centre along the alleyway for a Closing Reception celebration of Ho’s exhibition at 6:30 PM. Refreshments and light snacks will be provided. Admission to the closing reception is free. \nThe exhibition attends to the use of common plants while speaking to first-generation settlers about agriculture and medicine. By highlighting the spiritual and medicinal uses of tea\, yarrow\, poppy and mugwort\, the exhibition examines how life is separated into the categories of useful commodities or invasive weeds within the framework of global capitalism. \nTRIPLE BURNER FLOWER FIELD also includes archival and oral accounts of the role of the barefoot doctor during the Cultural Revolution\, the agricultural land defense movement in Hong Kong\, and the early Chinese market gardens of Nelson\, BC. Using emptiness and manifold duality as guiding principles\, art making becomes a kind of serious play that points to interdependence with land and beings while eschewing human supremacy. \nTRIPLE BURNER FLOWER FIELD is currently on view at Oxygen Art Centre from January 15\, 2025\, to March 8\, 2025\, on Wednesdays to Saturdays from 1:00pm to 5:00pm. \nSF Ho will be present in Nelson\, B.C.\, for the Artist Talk event at Notably (5:30 pm) and Closing Reception event at Oxygen Art Centre (6:30 pm) on Saturday\, March 8\, 2025. \nOxygen Art Centre is an artist-run centre located at #3-320 Vernon Street along the alleyway behind Baker Street. \nThis program is generously supported by the Canada Council for the Arts and the Regional District of Central Kootenay ReDi program. \nArtist Bio: \nSF Ho (they/them) is an artist\, writer and organizer.

SUMMARY:Debert Bunker: By Invitation Only film screening
DESCRIPTION:Outside a military base in Debert\, Nova Scotia\, on a cold day in February 1984\, a small but mighty group of women harnessed the power of performance art\, protest\, and the media—and captured the attention of the entire country. \nThat same day in February\, 329 people were planning on using the bunker for rehearsal of a nuclear attack—nearly all of them white\, middle-aged men with government or military leadership roles; only 11 women were on the list. \nMonths earlier\, women from all over the Maritimes began planning for a multi-faceted day of action\, dubbed Debunk Debert. The group arranged radio interviews on CBC morning shows\, arranged for men to handle the day’s cooking\, cleaning\, and childcare\, and staged a protest at Camp Debert\, the location of Atlantic Canada’s only cold war bunker. \nThe protesters’ message was clear: while these men continue government from inside the bunker\, what is happening to the women and children you’ve left behind? How do you continue government\, or humanity\, without a second generation? Documentary filmmaker Liz MacDougall explores these questions and covers the protest in her 1985 documentary Debert Bunker: By Invitation Only\, screening Friday\, March 14 in the Cold War Bunker\, presented by the Nelson Museum to celebrate International Women’s Day. \nThe screening of Debert Bunker: By Invitation Only is at 6:30pm on Friday\, March 14\, followed by an open discussion with Anna Purcell and Tressa Ford. Tickets are $10 for museum members and $15 for the general public and includes a reproduction of the ‘Debunk Debert’ buttons created for the original protest. \nTickets can be purchased in person at the Front Desk or online. Space is limited for this one-time only event.

SUMMARY:Dark Chapters opening reception
DESCRIPTION:The Dark Chapters project encompasses the renowned career of Métis artist and educator David Garneau\, through the dual lens of exhibition and publication. The book\, Dark Chapters: Reading the Still Lives of David Garneau\, invites 17 Canadian artists and academics to write a response – poetry\, creative writing\, critical essay – to one of Garneau’s vast collection of still life paintings. The exhibition features works from the publication as well as additional pieces chosen by Garneau. Dark Chapters offers myriad ways to investigate how the written word can implicate\, illuminate\, and interpret artworks. \nDark Chapters opens on Friday\, March 21 at 7pm featuring an artist talk with Garneau and essay contributor Fred Wah. This event is free and open to the public. \nDavid Garneau (Métis) is a Professor of Visual Arts at the University of Regina. He is a painter\, curator\, and writer who engages creative and critical expressions of Indigenous contemporary ways of knowing\, being\, and doing. In 2023\, he received the Governor General’s Award in Visual and Media Art: Outstanding Achievement and was inducted into the Royal Society of Canada.
