Still Life in Motion: Rehome Meaningful Objects into a Live Art Event

The Hearth is about to host a quite unique Live Art and participatory event on Bowen Island, and it all relies on your participation! No pressure...

When: Live Art Event on October 1st, 2022 – 4pm to 8pm

Exhibition from October 2nd to October 16th

On October 1st, a group of artists will work live for four hours, creating artworks around a still life installed in the centre of the gallery. You might think that artists interpreting a still life is quite a common subject in art history, but this one is a bit different.

You, the visitors, will be the set designers of this still life! Indeed, you are invited to bring meaningful, but not too precious, objects into the gallery on October 1st from 11am to 8pm. Objects that keep your attention for their history, their textures, their colours, their shapes, etc... It can be anything from a beautiful piece of driftwood you found last Summer, your favourite plant, flowers, lamp, piece of fabric, pair of shoes, the family rocking-chair, the typewriter you’ve had for so long, an old clock, a tambourine, a mirror, a rock, a book, a unique vase, ... you name it!

You can bring your objects to the gallery for just an hour, for the whole day, or leave them for the whole two-week exhibition, but don’t worry, you’ll get them back!

The Hearth is inviting all the Bowen community to take part in this collective and participatory art experience, and to encourage and watch the artists at work!

Still Life in Motion - A Live Art Event will take place on Saturday October 1st from 4pm to 8pm at the Hearth. Bring a meaningful object into the gallery (Drop off starts at 11am). It will be followed by a two-week group exhibition from October 2nd to 16th.
