Y-Level 2011: COME FROM AWAY!
Eyelevel Gallery is pleased to present COME FROM AWAY! our 2011 Y-Level show. Referred to as the gateway to Canada, Halifax has a history that predates the formation of the Dominion of Canada and has played an integral role in the construction of the Canadian identity. Modern day Halifax is a destination city as opposed to a final destination as it sees many immigrants, students, cruise ships and tourists each year. This constant flow of people has helped to stimulate the city's deep cultural roots.
‘Come From Away’ is a curated show examining the role Halifax plays in the development of Canadian culture and personal Canadian identity. This show identifies some of the key cultural signifiers of ‘Canadian Identity’ through a variety of ideas and media/mediums. This years Y-Level show embraces the diversity of culture in Halifax with new work from seven emerging artists as
they explore their own identity within the Canadian cultural fabric in relation to Atlantic Canada.
