VERTIGO:
Karine Fréchette – Sandy Plotnikoff – Daniel Hutchinson – Ianick Raymond - Mike Pelletier – Anna Pantcheva - Mathieu Grenier
Curators: Manel Benchabane & Amanda Johnston
The Stewart Hall Art Gallery is proud to present Vertigo, an exhibition featuring seven artists, whose artworks are a result of extensive visual research. Art often relates to issues of perception, both physical and visual. When we direct our gaze towards the artwork, we seek to understand the new space we are confronted with. Obscured by feelings of comprehension and the lack thereof, once we are confronted with this discovery, our perception of the image becomes unsettled and precarious; from this arises the feeling of vertigo.

The drum is very significant to all First Nations. Drum by Samuel Ojeda
