Gallery#1 Ken Jeannotte - The Half-life of Memory This exhibition is sponsored by EvEco Consultants |
|
Ken Jeannotte was born in Vancouver and grew up near Fort Saint John, B.C. He studied painting and printmaking at the Kootenay School of Art in Nelson, B.C. from 1966 to 1969. The artist also studied painting and photography at Emily Carr College of Art and Design in Vancouver. Jeannotte has exhibited his work in solo and group exhibitions for over two decades. The artist resides in Vancouver, BC and also has a residence in Lumby. The works of Jeannotte celebrate the Canadian landscape, the people who inhabit it and the interconnectedness of the two. Large photographic images are paired with text suggesting the didactics more commonly found in a museum setting. Jeannotte's narratives, however, are of a more personal nature. These works tend to awaken personal memories in the viewer producing varied and rich interpretations of the works. This new body of work explores the idea of memory and its constructs. The notions of historical memory, cultural memory and personal memory overlap and form new contructs. Just as our personal memories are distorted "The unifying factor in this work is the investigation into the process of the construction of memory, of the phenonmenon of decay/reclamation of memory and the role of narrative in these processes. I am also interested The artist will give a brief talk about his work at 8pm during the opening reception. Ken Jeannotte can be reached at (250)547-6791 for the purpose of interviews. Gallery Vertigo wishes to thank EvEco Consultants for their kind sponsorship of this exhibition. |
