Caroyln’s exhibition, Otherhood, is now on display on the TREX Wall at the Art Gallery of Grande Prairie. Caroyln was the very first recipient of the TREX Northwest “Northern Alberta Artist Print Residency” in 2022.
SNAP (The Society of Northern Alberta-Print-Artists) and TREX Northwest invited applications from artists in Northern Alberta with a printmaking practice who wish to work in the SNAP Printshop (Edmonton) for a 4-week residency to develop a new body of work. Otherhood is a curated exhibition of the work Carolyn produced during her time at SNAP in 2022. Otherhood has already travelled Northern Alberta for one year and, following the TREX Wall exhibit, it will be travelling to the Calgary and Edmonton regions later this year.
About the Exhibition
Otherhood raises the question, what happens when we look back at legend and lore and examine the evolution of the feminized other? In this exhibition, Carolyn Gerk features nineteen relief prints on various papers. Each piece depicts an interpretation of a monstrous woman who has appeared in legends and folklore. She may be frightening and gruesome in some ways, but in others, perhaps her authority shines through. Carolyn’s work seeks to depict recurring themes and patterns that arise in our literary views of the feminine. Learn more at aggp.ca.
Curated by Jamie-Lee Cormier, Curator/Manager of TREX Northwest
Otherhood is on view until August 28, 2024 at AGGP.
