SUMMARY:Rachel Kalpana JAMES Bright Oriental Star
DESCRIPTION:Dialogue between contemporary and historical art offers fresh perspectives on the past\, and in this exhibition\, South-Asian Canadian artist Rachel Kalpana James creates an immersive installation that illuminates a pivotal moment of East-West interaction in the early 20th century. Her work centers on Rabindranath Tagore’s 1929 visit to Canada. A renowned Indian poet and philosopher\, Tagore’s ideas on spirituality and nature resonated deeply with audiences worldwide. While the impact of his visit on Canadian artists\, particularly members of the Group of Seven such as Lawren S. Harris and Frederick Varley\, has been largely overlooked\, James’ installation offers a space to reconsider this overlooked influence. \nThrough a dynamic interplay of media\, James pairs stylized footage of foliage with text from Tagore’s poetry and newspaper clippings documenting his Canadian visit. The pulsating words on screen\, evocative of a heartbeat or a newsreel\, create a sense of urgency and immediacy. Distorted images of iconic Canadian landscapes—reminiscent of Group of Seven works—subtly challenge the established artistic narrative. Projected onto a chalked background\, the installation navigates the space between documentary and imagination\, blurring the boundaries between history and fiction. By inviting viewers to question how history is shaped and perceived\, James’ work encourages a critical re-examination of the complex relationship between colonial and national narratives in Canadian art.

SUMMARY:Behind the Curtain
DESCRIPTION:Wall Space Gallery is proud to present “Behind the Curtain\,” a group exhibition of paintings by Kelly Grace\, Andrew Beck\, Elle Chae\, and Jay Li. The artists in “Behind the Curtain” construct worlds through the collapse of linear time\, combining past eras or moments from personal archives in snapshots of layered imagery that capture the stretching and tidal current of time in motion. \nBeck\, Chae\, Grace and Li reveal the ways in which we are drawn to creating meaning through visual imagery\, and subsequently\, painting’s ability to question the solidity of the structures underlying that meaning. Each uses the malleable constructs of time\, cultural memory\, and personal experience to grasp the slippery threads of reality\, if only for a moment. \nOpening reception on Thursday\, May 1 from 5 – 7 PM

SUMMARY:Migration Stories
DESCRIPTION:Six artists present their “stories” of migration\, reflecting the vast instinctual or altered journeys of animals and plants\, and forced human expulsion or immigration to places of hope and opportunity. The intertwining of these diverse migration stories reveals the growing complexity and urgency of species in motion. \nThe Migration artists are members of the Ottawa-Gatineau Printmakers Connective. Drawn together by the theme in 2023\, they have been exploring the political\, economic\, and ecological aspects of migration through the creation of 2- and 3-dimensional print-based art in a variety of printmaking techniques and materials.

SUMMARY:The Posthumous Destiny of Bodies by Judith Bellavance
DESCRIPTION:In this installation composed of photographs\, videos\, and objects\, Judith Bellavance embraces evocation\, suggestion\, and poetic resonance to explore themes of disappearance and transformation in the natural world. Like contemporary still lifes\, the works that guide this immersive\, walk-through experience form a shifting narrative centered on the idea of loss. \nUsing impermanence as a unifying thread\, Bellavance gently translates the process of endings and their quiet resolutions. Yet within this meditation on absence\, she offers a subtle invitation to hope—a quiet affirmation in the face of vanishing.
