SUMMARY:The General Store - Open Studio & Artist Talk at Ruby's Place - Nahanni McKay & Ben Evely
DESCRIPTION:You are invited to an open studio of The General Store! \nMacaulay House Artists in Residence Ben Evely and Nahanni McKay invite you to their Open Studio and Artist Talk at Ruby’s Place\, a Parks Canada KNHS building\, right next to KIAC! \n📅When: Friday\, August 29th\, 6 to 8 pm (Artist Talk at 7pm) \n📍Where: Ruby’s Place\, 914 2nd Avenue \nAll welcome\, refreshments served! \nShowcasing a collection of new works and work in progress\, The General Store is a collaborative project by current KIAC artists in residence Nahanni Mckay and Ben Evely. Inspired by growing up in Banff\, Alberta (on Treaty 7 Territory)\, the duo’s work examines the commodification of nature\, and the way places are shaped by tourism and recreation. Many small towns have shops selling a broad variety of goods\, often a general store. The open studio includes artworks that span various mediums and concepts related to their shared experiences. \nThe pair are drawn to the historical impacts of colonialism and the gold rush in Dawson City and current initiatives for reconciliation with First Nations\, and instilling respect for the land. The seasonal tourism economy\, and vibrant art community make Dawson an ideal setting to further expand on their ideas. \nBig thanks to Parks Canada KHNS and The Bunkhouse for supporting this residency project!
