Indepth Arts News: "Michael Fernandes: Room of Fears and Fixing Room" 2006-03-18 until 2006-04-14 Mount Saint Vincent University Art Gallery Halifax, NS, CA Canada
In an adjacent space, Fixing Room displays items submitted to the
gallery in response to an open call, for "things you never got round
to fixing, things that are broken." The "fixed" items call
attention to the modern-day impulse to pathologize, as played out in our
relationship with the objects in our lives.
Michael Fernandes teaches Intermedia at NSCAD University. He has exhibited and performed throughout Canada and internationally. Through public interventions and gallery installations, Fernandes generates social situations that solicit active participation by others. His work probes the intersection of private life with public space, and the relationship between art and everyday life, by combining linguistic and performance events with humour.
