Thought\, outside is composed with an eye to how each artwork thinks t he phenomenon of the outside. This concept is variably expressed as the con dition of being out-of-doors\, beyond a geographic delineation\, without le gal recognition or unfamiliar with social custom. It is a position that is sometimes articulated in the negative: by that which is not inside. However \, the boundary between the inside and outside is rarely fixed or exclusive . Rather\, it is relational\, durational and transitory.
The exhibiti
on presents lens based artworks by Craig Berggold\,
Movement across geographic\, economic an d cultural boundaries is explored in Kiyooka’s photographs of discarded wor k gloves at Expo ’70 Osaka\, StoneDGloves (1970)\; Lum’s performan ce along the periphery of the Trans-Canada highway\, Entertainment for Surrey (1978)\; and Berggold’s documents of immigrant farming and unio n organizing in the Fraser Valley\, A Time to Change (1984).
The social inscription of the out-of-doors is closely observed in Creates’ documents of her solitary journey in Sleeping Places\, Newfoundland 19 82 (1982)\; Laiwan’s reflections on a contested ruin in African No tes Part 1 & 2 (1982)\; and Mollineaux’s pinhole exposures\, Cadbo ro Bay (1998/2020).
The ideological processes that censor permis sion and prohibition are contested in Drawing the Line (1990)\, K iss & Tell’s expansive installation on the representation of lesbian sexual ity.
