[BCMA] Latest exhibition at the Nelson Museum, Archives & Gallery explores the transformational possibilities of wood

[Moderated BCMA subscriber listserv]

 Good morning — this summer, the Nelson Museum, Archives & Gallery invites visitors to experience the artistic works of eight renowned artists from across Canada, interpreting the myriad ways the medium of wood can be transformed.

WOOD is a visually striking group exhibition featuring eight acclaimed contemporary artists from across Canada. From traditional birch bark biting to immersive audio/visual  installation, sculpture, weaving, and carving, these artists showcase the incredible versatility of wood as both medium and message. Participating artists include Peter von Tiesenhausen, Samuel Roy-Bois, Xiaojing Yan, Rita McKeough, Susan Point, Pat Bruderer, Stephen Noyes, and Nadia Myre. Together, they demonstrate how wood can shape—and be shaped by—cultural, environmental, and artistic identities.

The exhibition opens with a special artist panel on Friday, July 11, featuring many of the eight artists in conversation. I've attached a press release and high-resolution image; if you would like more information please do reach out.

Thanks,
Steph
