    Working both together and off each other,Christian Nicolay and Ya-chu Kang have produced an exhibition comprised of video, sculpture, mixed media drawing and installation. This new body of work explores the polarities between life and death, public and private, safety and danger, comfort and distress and, in particular, examines the similarities and differences between Canada and Taiwan in a post 9-11 age, an age where it seems rules, regulations and checks on our privacy continue to grow and change.

    Both artists utilize found material of the everyday, producing works ranging from the various topographical landscapes of Nicolay's mixed media paper drawings to Kang's reconstructions of objects into sculptural forms and articles of clothing. Throughout this exhibition the artists’ individual and collective works examine cultural boundaries and social constructions of identity as well as how we individually know ourselves in a growing global fabric increasingly crisscrossed and blurred.

    Their collaborative video "Recoil" may be viewed at RECOIL.
