The Acadia University Art Gallery is pleased to present Susan Malmstrom: Fortune Seeking, August 3- September 25, 2011. Malmstrom has been investigating still life photography since the late 1980s with a focus on transforming real objects existing in time and space into non-reality based, allegorical imagery.
For the series Fortune Seeking each photograph was inspired by a paper fortune from a fortune cookie, which had been collected over the past twenty years from a variety of Asian restaurants. The digitally created photo-collages incorporate art reproductions, household and found objects to produce visual narratives of the collected fortunes.
Please join us for the opening reception on August 5, 7pm. On September 21, 2pm Malmstrom will give an artist talk in the gallery and on September 17th from 1-4pm she will conduct a workshop on the creative process. The opening and artist talk are free to the public, the workshop requires registration.
There is also the opportunity for school and community groups to book tours and hands-on workshops during the duration of the exhibition, facilitated by the Gallery Director. Contact the gallery for more details. Established in 1978 the Acadia University Art Gallery presents a year-round exhibition program of historical and contemporary art. The gallery is open Tuesdays-Sundays 12-4pm.
