Jerry Ropson: Hollow cores, other findings and one last chance
Exhibition
October 24 – November 29, 2008
Opening on Friday October 24, 5pm-9pm
Project Description
Presented in the small gallery space this growing installation of adhesive vinyl, written texts, drawings and sculptures chronicles the development of what the artist references as his – “atavistic narrative”. Ropson will periodically return to Skol throughout his exhibition to produce new and personal historical markers – posters, stickers and flags – in order to distribute them within the surrounding urban space. This exhibition is accompanied by a text by artist, writer, and independent curator Mark Clintberg.
Starting out from Pollard’s Point, a rural community on the island of Newfoundland, Jerry Ropson received his BFA from Sir Wilfred Grenfell College in 2001, and after some years of mucking about, he has come to settle in Montreal, Quebec. He uses drawing and narrative to construct and document an attachment to the commonplace. He prefers longer walks. His work has been exhibited across Canada, as well as throughout Europe and beyond.
