Kenneth Emig’s exhibition, Continuum, explores the nature of space as it relates to the human body and its senses. Through the integration of light and reflection, his sculptures alter our environment to heighten awareness of our surroundings. Emig approaches sculpture from the perspective of a dancer, conscious of how we co-exist with the work in three-dimensional space. His aesthetic inquiries find intersections between and across various media that focus on the body, space, perception and movement. “We often look at the world around us but don’t consciously see it,” says Emig. “I hope that the visitors to the exhibition will carry a renewed curiosity from the gallery into everyday life.” Continuum reminds us that perception is a matter of degrees, in which objects and ideas do not have finite beginnings, boundaries or ends. BIOGRAPHY Kenneth Emig is an interdisciplinary artist who integrates sound, sculpture, optics, dance and technology within his artistic practice. He has exhibited and performed across Canada, including the Square Zero Dance Festival in Ottawa and the Transnet Conference in Vancouver. In 2004, Emig completed a public sculptural commission for the City of Ottawa, and began an artist residency at the National Research Council of Canada. He is currently working on a dance commission for the 2008 Canada Dance Festival. We thank our members, the Canada Council for the Arts, le Conseil des arts et des lettres du Québec and le Service des arts, lettres et culture de la ville de Gatineau for their support.
