David R. Harper: Entre le chien et le loup
Organized by the Doris McCarthy Gallery in partnership with the Kitchener-Waterloo Art Gallery, Kenderdine Art Gallery & Saint Mary's University Art Gallery

In this exhibition, David R. Harper is interested in the form and idea of memorials, those markers that formalize links between memory and present experience. Within his works – taxidermy-based sculptures and embroidered prints – he refers to certain periods, modes of craft, and embellishment that articulate peculiar links to an ‘ordered’ natural world. Speaking to the intersections of personal and universal mythologies, liminality and identity, Harper engages the viewer in a dialogue on the metaphoric weight that the objects present both historically and emotionally.

A full-colour catalogue with essays by Ann MacDonald, Robin Metcalfe, Crystal Mowry and Lisa Stone, produced collectively by the DMG, Kitchener-Waterloo Art Gallery, Kenderine Art Gallery and Saint Mary's University Art Gallery, will be available in 2013.
