New Readings in Female Anatomy, 1995-2001 [installation view]

Work ID: 83428

Description: New Readings in Female Anatomy
New Readings in Female Anatomy opened at the AGNL in St. John’s in 2001. A large and layered installation representing 6 years of work, it consisted of a series of 28 panels called Fragments from a Re-Constructed Gynaeopedia – three cabinets filled with objects called the Body Boxes – a Reading and a Writing Table, on which were presented finished bookworks and blank ones – and a three-track sound scape which populated the room with the low murmurs of women’s voices.

Marginalia: Aktion 1

Work ID: 83546

Description: Marginalia (2004-2010)
In 2004, Hall began an ongoing visual dialogue and four-year long collaboration entitled Marginalia with Vancouver performance artist, Margaret Dragu. An extended, bi-coastal conversation was made visible through the daily making and sharing, by each artist, of a soft and sometimes ragged “memory cloth.”

During the period of the collaboration, Dragu and Hall each produced, every day, a 30.5 × 30.5 cm cloth work. Each memory cloth is then, roughly, one-foot square. This measure is only approximate, and it was chosen as suggestive of the natural measure of the human foot used in marking out distances. Step by step, day-by-day, through their work on the cloth carrés, Dragu and Hall “moved closer,” metaphorically, to each other despite the enormous geographic expanse that separated them. The techniques employed by the artists included (and subverted) the more traditional female domestic skills of sewing, ironing, embroidering, and appliqué / collage.

Marginalia: Aktion 1 was presented to the public for the first time during the LIVE Biennale of Performance Art, in Vancouver, 2005.

Marginalia: Getting out of the House was presented at The Richmond Public Art Gallery (RAG) in Richmond, BC, in the fall of 2008, where Dragu and Hall built their “history” into “houses”, printed their entire square-correspondence on 4″×6″ recipe cards, and invited members of the local community to help them “make meaning” by putting the squares into new conversation with one another. When they stopped making daily squares in 2008, Hall and Dragu had created and shared over 2700 squares.

Marginalia at Studio XX brought another layer of collaboration and iteration to the project in Montreal in 2010. Staff and the Director of XX had visited the Struts residency, and when they identified the theme of their HTMLLes Festival in 2010 as “home”, they invited Dragu and Hall to participate. The artists created a multi-layered “archive”… lining the walls of the entrance corridor with a “soft library” of handmade memory cloths, and using recipe cards, random slides playing on multiple computer screens and a looped video installation to invite viewers into dialogue with material and electronic correspondences across distance.

HouseWork(s), installation overview

Work ID: 83406

Description: HouseWork(s)
HouseWork(s) presents work from the past decade of my practice – bringing solitary and private practices into conversation with collaborative and public projects. As an interdisciplinary artist who works both inside of and far afield from the “studio” and the gallery, I engage with art-making as a research practice and as an intervention – as a way to examine, discover and reveal something about the world and to open a space for dialogue within it.

My solitary practices serve as both conceptual and material research – as ways of finding and figuring out how to make my questions and concerns visible and how and where to bring them into encounter with others. My collaborative and socially-engaged projects invite others into the process, acknowledging that at least some of what I long to make or make visible, cannot be done alone. Working with others and sometimes about and alongside others, I am interested in how we inhabit our place, how we work within it and how we know it.

The preoccupations I have been exploring in the last ten years remain rooted in longstanding concerns about embodied labour and “women’s work,” everyday contemplative rituals, local knowledge and the construction of community. Most of the work in HouseWork(s) has been exhibited or undertaken in other locations – in galleries or artist-run centres in Canada or the U.S., and in non-art spaces in Newfoundland that include a bakery, a fish-processing plant, public libraries and a range of community spaces in Bonne Bay and the Great Northern Peninsula.

HouseWork(s), installation overview

Work ID: 83405

Description: HouseWork(s)
HouseWork(s) presents work from the past decade of my practice – bringing solitary and private practices into conversation with collaborative and public projects. As an interdisciplinary artist who works both inside of and far afield from the “studio” and the gallery, I engage with art-making as a research practice and as an intervention – as a way to examine, discover and reveal something about the world and to open a space for dialogue within it.

My solitary practices serve as both conceptual and material research – as ways of finding and figuring out how to make my questions and concerns visible and how and where to bring them into encounter with others. My collaborative and socially-engaged projects invite others into the process, acknowledging that at least some of what I long to make or make visible, cannot be done alone. Working with others and sometimes about and alongside others, I am interested in how we inhabit our place, how we work within it and how we know it.

The preoccupations I have been exploring in the last ten years remain rooted in longstanding concerns about embodied labour and “women’s work,” everyday contemplative rituals, local knowledge and the construction of community. Most of the work in HouseWork(s) has been exhibited or undertaken in other locations – in galleries or artist-run centres in Canada or the U.S., and in non-art spaces in Newfoundland that include a bakery, a fish-processing plant, public libraries and a range of community spaces in Bonne Bay and the Great Northern Peninsula.
