Elaine Cameron-Weir: STAR CLUB REDEMPTION BOOTH
Through September 12听|
In her sculpture, Elaine Cameron-Weir (b. 1985, Red Deer, Canada) grapples with questions of individual and collective human survival, while also considering the potential for renewal and transformation in states of being and forms of knowledge. Her work is informed by belief systems that structure how people make sense and meaning of the world鈥攆rom science and religion to the nation-state. Often repurposing objects with previous scientific, medical, or military functions, Cameron-Weir creates exquisitely assembled forms that conjure speculative uses or ritual applications in times past and future.
For her exhibition at the Henry Art Gallery, Cameron-Weir has created new work conceived in conversation with dynamic double-height volume of the museum鈥檚 lower level. At the center of the installation are two human-sized, metal cases鈥攎ilitary equipment designed to transport bodily remains鈥攖hat serve as counterweights to conveyor belts that rise up from the ground like suspended bodily stand-ins. Human vulnerability is a central theme across Cameron-Weir鈥檚 work and is particularly potent in the artist鈥檚 Henry exhibition, which is informed by the way social systems arbitrate the value of corporeal existence.

Black Embodiments Studio Talk:听Ilana Harris-Babou & Jessica Lynne in Conversation
What happens when we think about artists and critics as co-thinkers? As collaborators? How can the Black artist-critic relationship generate more ethical, just ways of producing knowledge in academic and arts institutions? This year, The Black Embodiments Studio is supporting creative alliances between Black artists and critics in order to intervene on the art world鈥檚 continual misreading of contemporary Black practices. In this conversation, Ilana Harris-Babou and critic Jessica Lynne reflect on the early stages of their work together, as Harris-Babou develops new material and Lynne begins writing on it. They invite us to consider the technical and conceptual labor of coming together around Black art, and the labor of not only imagining but producing environments where Black makers can feel the most critically and creatively expansive and supported.
