Goodnight Moon: A Rhythm, A Tempo and Stars, Air, Noises Everywhere 🌝🐄🎈🐇🪑

October 7, 2022 @ 5:00 pm 7:00 pm

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”.
