Nadia Myre | Solo Exhibition

Presented by Macaulay + Co

Opening January 11th

Macaulay + Co (Vancouver) is  thrilled to present new paintings and ceramic/glass works by Montreal based artist Nadia Myre.

The exhibition "After the Fire, and other work"  presents new paintings, and ceramic/glass sculptures by Nadia Myre that stand as a profound exploration of the ebb and flow of identity, memory, and existence, where the moments of conclusion are preludes to new beginnings.
 

This sentiment of shedding past to make space for potential transformation echoes throughout the exhibition as each piece embodies the weight of passing from one phase to another. "After the Fire" captures the immediate aftermath of change, a time for reflection and of hope amidst the remnants of what once was.

Nadia Myre (born 1974) is from Montreal and an Algonquin member of the Kitigan Zibi Anishinaabeg First Nation, who lives and works in Montreal. Her multi-disciplinary practice has been inspired by participant involvement as well as recurring themes of identity, language, collective identity, resilience and the politics of belonging. Of the artist, David Garneau wrote the following: Myre has an allergy to sentences that attempt to engineer people and a love of the poetic, the suggestive, the seductive, the malleable and mis-taken. There is throughout her work a desire to signify, to come into presence but also to be imprecise and uncapturable, of having a self beyond words, being present but escaping comprehension.
