Montreal contemporary artist Matthew-Robin Nye has created the solo art installation Good Night Moon: a Tempo, a Rhythm to reflect many of the elements in the children’s book by Margaret Wise Brown, including “a tiny toy house and a young mouse, a comb, and a brush and a bowl full of mush and a quiet old lady who was whispering ‘hush’”.
Opening Reception Friday, October 7, 5-7PM at Sunbury Shores Arts and Nature Centre.
The installation includes performance residencies with Montreal contemporary artists KG Gottman and Jordan Arseneault, the former exploring technology to create immersive visual experiences and the latter presenting a music and movement performance. Through their interventions, both artists seek to enhance the viewer’s experience of Good Night Moon.
In conjunction with and in celebration of Good Night Moon, Saint John-based Guest Curator Amy Ash has brought together the work of six contemporary artists in the ancillary exhibition Stars, Air, Noises Everywhere, also presented at the gallery.
Stars, Air, Noises Everywhere features the work of Jack Bishop, Kathy Hooper, Sara Brinkhurst, Jenn Carson, Darren Emeneau, and KC Wilcox, who embrace the creative potential of play, imagination, and storytelling often associated with childhood in their work. At the same time, their work invites us to enter into unexpected narratives and see the world differently, “within the rhythm and tempo of everyday experience”.

Opening reception, for Shadow Ecology, Friday, September 2, 5-7PM at Sunbury Shores Arts and Nature Centre.
“Shadow Ecology” pairs Heather McCaig’s sculpted glass and Emily Phillips’s paintings to create a gallery exhibition about environmental conservation in Canada.
Heather McCaig’s glass draws attention to the disappearing ecosystems of Canada that are quickly becoming shadows on our landscapes due to human disturbance. Her incredibly detailed native flora and fauna from each region brings the country’s ecosystems together in one room, allowing the viewer to recognize that by losing these crucial ecosystems, we are losing ourselves.
Emily Phillips’s art connects people with beloved wild places in the Fundy region. She aims to evoke in her viewers the same attachments she feels to these places along with an appreciation for their intrinsic value and continued conservation.
Join us this Friday for the Opening Reception this Friday, September 2, from 5-7PM
