Illusion of the Self, exhibition opening
2024-07-13 12:00 - 16:00 | Keillor House Museum, 4974 Main Street, Dorchester, New Brunswick, E4K 2Z1
Keillor House Museum
During the summer of 2024, the Keillor House Museum (Dorchester, New Brunswick) is host to an unprecedented artistic exploration. This exhibition project, conceived by the visual artist Guillaume Adjutor Provost, grew out of a conversation with the museum’s director, Keegan Hiltz, about the revitalization of historical collections through contemporary art practices.
Soif d’illusion/Illusion of the Self, presented in the Georgian-style manor built circa 1813, brings together works by five artists: Kyle Alden Martens, Karen Tam, Massimo Guerrera, Natasha Sacobie, and Guillaume Adjutor Provost.
In a play on translation, the bilingual title invites reflection on how the perception of self may be shaped by illusions and deep desires. In this respect, the heavily decorated spaces of the Keillor House Museum, evidence of its founder’s ambition to conceal his modest origins and typical of Victorian attitudes, offer an ideal setting for exploring the complexities of personal and collective identity.
