Exhibition – Hazel Meyer: The Marble in the Basement
Richmond Art Gallery
7700 Minoru Gate
Opening Reception: April 20, 2:00 pm – 4:00 pm
What gets stored in a shoebox? Deposited into an archive? Shoved into a corner? Catalogued as important? Fever pitched towards a garbage can? Centered on a pile of marble scraps that possibly once belonged to iconic Canadian artist experimental filmmaker Joyce Wieland, local artist Hazel Meyer’s The Marble in the Basement untangles issues of power, memory, and inheritance by anthropomorphizing a forgotten object from this influential Canadian artist’s domestic archive.
