What place do we occupy in the gallery?

A survey of the gallery environment.

Seeking Bones, a new, multi-media performance by Archer Pechawis will be presented on the occasion of the opening reception for TBD. Accompanied by his digital drum, the artist will perform a song in his ancestral language, Cree.  

A survey of MOCCA from the Pleistocene to Anthropocene, Seeking Bones considers MOCCA from cultural, chronological, geological, and hydrological perspectives.

“My current fascination is what I call ‘transitional Cree culture’, the place where Cree culture meets the onrush of millennial technology. I explore this fascination in performance. Using digital technologies I attempt to locate and query this meeting place, however fleeting. My work is a temporary roadmap. These maps are signposts of the moment, which I create to share.” – A.P.
