neither here, nor there


Thursday March 29, 2012 to Thursday April 12, 2012
Student Exhibition @ Transit Space, 
100 McCaul St, OCAD U
'Neither Here, Nor There' investigates the social construction of place through a series of drawings, paintings, photographs and performances. This theme will be explored in two different but interconnected ways. First, the tendency of self identification though place is addressed by several of the artists. 


These works will reflect on the “inherent” human desire to belong and to have a place that they can call their own. Other works will question these desires through depictions of vacancy and abandonment, and lastly an ongoing performance pice will investigate the construction of the Gallery space it's self. Through these varying depictions, Neither Here, Nor There attempts to understand the very soul of the places we inhabit, as well as how they affect our identity and our actions.

Participating artists: Sarah Rose Turner, Tyler Gillan, Johanna Martin and Kelli Jerome
Curated by Meghan Hunter-Gauthier
In collaboration with the OCAD U Performance Collective
