What: Jennifer Marman and Daniel Borins: Artist Presentation and Exhibition Tour
Jennifer Marmin and Daniel Borins will present to NSCAD faculty, staff, and students regarding their current exhibition at the Art Gallery of Nova Scotia, Three Dimensions, on through January 26th. From the AGNS website: Three Dimensions is an exhibition showcasing the multidisciplinary art practice of Jennifer Marman & Daniel Borins. The show features three installations: Balancing Act, THX2020, and ABCD, which combine painting, sculpture, kinetics, interactivity, virtual reality, and video. Taken together, Three Dimensions emphasizes viewer participation and explores themes of authenticity, agency, and the digital age through performativity and interactivity. Like many of their previous works, the installation references high and popular culture, combining science fiction, politics, and current events in a pop-minimalist setting where symbols are equalized in hierarchy. For Marman and Borins, the exhibition aims to disrupt traditional notions of reality – whether authentic or synthetic – and present dimensions that challenge the viewer’s perception. With an emphasis on engagement, the artists prompt contemplation around visual language, mass media, consumerism, and the ways in which images circulate in the information age.
