Artist Tour and Talk with artist Jennifer Crane

Artist Tour and Talk with artist Jennifer Crane
August 12, 2012, 2pm
Art Gallery of Nova Scotia Yarmouth

All are welcome…
Come meet artist Jennifer Crane and see her new Exhibition at the AGNS
Yarmouth.
Seafarers and Fishwives deals with myths and actual accounts of women at
sea, as well as with the exchange and display of photographs and how
these relate to class and narrative structures.  Within this, the artist
is interested in “exploring ideas about how women occupy public space as
both observers and observed subjects…and how this relates to popular
memory and performances of gender, authority and spectacle.”  These
concerns are manifested in an impossible archive, where the artist
herself simultaneously acts as subject, photographer, collector and
curator of its contents: a collection of anonymous portraits and
stereoscopic cards.
