Poolside Gallery
Not Too Hot or Cold, Just right - Emmanuel OC Harry
Presented in partnership with Send + Receive: Festival of Sound
Not too hot or cold, just right” is a form of open invitation into a fertile atmosphere suitable for a dialogue between two personalities coexisting in one body. This dialogue is a brawl for understanding and not supremacy, leaving the viewer deeply immersed in an experience basked in euphoria. This exhibition explores the use of storytelling to arouse particular emotional responses such as joy, sadness, anger, frustration, and excitement from its viewers, setting a stage for self-reflection. This body of work, in its way, transforms the space into a time capsule as one side talks about the protagonist going about his daily life, while the screen displays his true inner self yearning to exist. This inner self is usually suppressed and oftentimes forgotten.
Through this exhibition, we hope to remind people of the lost friend we have lingering within. Our inner self is always the person that knows us best. My aim is to encourage viewers to embrace one’s inner self to achieve self-love and most importantly self-compassion as opposed to hiding that part of ourselves. That way we are able to - maintain a balance in our lives, not too hot or too cold but just right.
Runs October 6 – November 10, 2023

Allan Geske
North Nassau Printmakers
100 Arthur St, Unit 523
(
just opposite the elevator)
••••••••••••

Allan Geske has been a printmaker since the mid-1970s and he employs various techniques in his art such as etching, engraving, relief and mixed media. His images often include the prairie landscape: maps, charts and blueprints that locate our place in the world and language that integrates the letters, words, symbols and markings of the draughtsman, poet and educator.
Geske has traveled extensively and his prints are metaphors that create disparate associations relating to his sense of home and place of origin.
