Re:Directions (co-curated with Emily Davidson)

Curatorial project between ACAD and NSCAD students. 2008.

I recently co-curated an exchange exhibition (Re: Directions) between students of the Alberta College of Art and Design and Nova Scotia College of Art and Design. For Re: Directions I curated an exhibition of work at ACAD which was produced by ACAD students from instructions by NSCAD students and my co-curator Emily Davidson curated an exhibition of work at NSCAD which was produced by NSCAD students from instructions by ACAD students. For an initial experiment this project worked out quite well, but there is a great deal of room for expansion on this idea. I also documented the show somewhat poorly so that was kind of silly.

Participating artists as they were paired during the exhibition: Sian Ramsden (ACAD)/Yulia Startsev (NSCAD); Bree Horel (ACAD)/Susan Wolf (NSCAD); Jennifer Crighton (ACAD)/Gillian Dykeman (NSCAD); Sarah Burchell and Faith Perrat (ACAD)/Micah Adams (NSCAD)
