WHOSE MAUD? | Laura Kenney & Steven Rhude
Exhibit Opening Tuesday, June 12, 7pm at the Acadia University Art Gallery, in Wolfville, NS
The artists will be in attendance. Light refreshments served.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The exhibition, Whose Maud?, presents the work of rug-hooker Laura Kenney & painter Steven Rhude.
The exhibition takes as its central question: Whose Maud? in that there are many interpretations of Maud as artist, as individual, as folk art icon. The artist & her work have come to symbolize a bucolic rural landscape, but this stands in stark contrast to the harsh realities of her life.
The artists, Kenney and Rhude, by researching, repositioning, & reconsidering, through their own art practice, beg the audience to question, Whose Maud?
Curator: Dr. Laurie Dalton
The exhibit will continue until July 28 at AUAG, in the Beveridge Art Centre (BAC bldg), 10 Highland Avenue, Wolfville, NS
Gallery Hours: Tuesdays–Wednesdays & Sundays: 12–4pm. Closed Mondays. Groups may book free tours outside these times with advance notice.
