2010-11 Scholarship\/Fellowship Exhibitions<\/strong><\/p>\n

Each year, Open Studio awards three scholarships\/fellowships,
\nproviding artists working in print media with both professional support and
\naccess to studio facilities to create new work during a one-year period. All
\nthree artists will give illustrated talks about their work and the progress
\nof their projects over the year on Thursday, October 27 at 6 pm at Open
\nStudio, followed by an opening reception. As London, ON-based artist, writer and academic Patrick Mahon points out the common thread between these three exhibitions is that all three artists are engaged in complex practices of making art generated in response to living\/thinking experiences, which ultimately point to the artists themselves.<\/p>\n

Lauren Nurse’s “There’s always room on the broom” (Print Sales Gallery)
\nsynthesizes the artist’s interests in the modern separation and opposition
\nbetween culture and nature, and in locating the mythological\/uncanny in
\nevocations of the\u00a0 wild. Cultural perceptions of nature have always held a
\ncertain amount of anxiety, and have spawned numerous myths, legends and
\nfables. These narratives expose culture’s uneasy relationship with the
\nnatural world.\u00a0 In viewing the monstrous body as a metaphor for the cultural body, Nurse considers the mythic as a symbolic expression of the cultural unease that pervades a society and shapes its collective behavior. Her work has revolved around the idea of collisions between nature and culture passing comment on some of the ways in which we see nature as existing outside of culture and society, yet simultaneously influencing the ways in which we live.<\/p>\n
