Pierre St-Jacques- A Gathering of Shifts
February 20 – March 17, 2013
Opening Reception: February 20, 6-9pm
St-Jacques’ current series of five video works, A Gathering of Shifts, investigates how a series of small gestures, like a dance between individuals, can lead one astray or bring people together. Subject to an invisible slope that gives the characters motion and intention, some of the characters are in full control of their environment, while others have let the sway and momentum consume them and have lost control. St-Jacques’ selection of gestures and themes come from past work where, often accidentally, the intentions of the characters would be hinted at, but not explored to the same extent.
