Svetlana Swinimer: Glaciata |
Three Ottawa visual artists will show their works at the 4th Moscow Biennale of Contemporary Art, Russia’s most prestigious contemporary art event!
Under the exhibition title “Flowing With”, Kenneth Emig, Svetlana Swinimer, and Jean Halstead present some of their artworks, in particular sculptures.
Svetlana Swinimer: Not Green Anymore |
All three artists belong to the Enriched Bread Artists (EBA), an artists' collective on Galdstone. EBA is an art studio and an artistic laboratory, located in a former bread factory - therefore the name.
Kenneth Emig is a trans-disciplinary artist who cmbinates sound, sculpture, optics, dance and technology. He encourages his audiences “to be sensorially observant and curious about the world around them” - like he is saying on the EBA web site.
Svetlana Swinimer: Cosmic Embryo |
Svetlana Swinimer is interested in humanity, cosmology, mythology and cutting edge science. She works in painting, sculpture, installation, video, and inventive photography. She collaborated with Jean Halstead on art in public and on mixed media installations.
Jean Halstead started sculpture when working in clay during her time in Japan in the 1950s. In her current work, she is in particular interested in aspects of perception. She uses different media like sculptural constructions, photos, video projections, sounds, words, and colours.

Nice pieces. Like the style. It is really unique. The colors really shows. This kind of paints were also part of Painters Ottawa materials that they used in all of their works.
