Nic Wilson: Pavilion of Shadows curated by Wayne Baerwaldt for the Art Gallery of Regina opening reception + Q & A between the artist and the curator. (Scrub forward in the timeline past our technical hiccups.)

Nic Wilson invites us to consider mortality in the common still life subject, the rabbit, intended to remind us of the fleetingness of life rendered not as a corpse/food, but as a google-eyed anthropomorphic candle burning itself out in his video A Dying Hare at the AGR.

Live right now on Global News Regina: Kayleen Sawatzky interviews Nic Wilson about his piece Half Mast, a flag flying an image of the Princess Diana memorial Beanie Baby perpetually at half-mast installed outside the Art Gallery of Regina in Les Sherman Park.

Global News visits the AGR this morning (Monday, November 16) to cover our current exhibition Nic Wilson's Pavilion of Shadows.

As you stroll through Les Sherman Park, turn your gaze toward a piece of Nic Wilson's exhibition which has spilled out of the gallery and into the open-air public space. Wilson's flagpole that flies a flag of the artist's own devising - a photograph of the Princess Diana memorial Beanie Baby permanently at half-mast is an acknowledgement of public mourning as a deeply necessary yet crassly commodified activity.

Safe and sweet opening reception for Nic Wilson’s Pavilion of Shadows at the Art Gallery of Regina. Q & A between curator Wayne Baerwaldt and artist Nic Wilson on the Art Gallery of Regina’s Facebook page at 8 PM Sk time tonight (November 13)
