Exhibition


Champions of Entropy #3, 2004
Brandon Vickerd (Calgary)

Thursday May 27
DeLeon White Gallery 1096 Queen Street West (at Dovercourt)
7-10 pm; Artist's talk at 8:30pm.
Free admission.

An articulated aluminum deer skeleton stands motionless on a platform, when activated by a sensor the skeleton begins to shiver in a frantic, random motion. Using industrial materials and rudimentry mechanical movements Vickerd fashions a dramatic experience that offers a compellingly understated commentary on the anxiety experienced when confronted by representations of either nature or technology.

He completed a residency at the Dalhousie School of Medicine, Anatomical Dissection Laboratory in 2002, has helped develop 3D scanning and milling technology, and has taught stone carving in Italy. Brandon completed his MFA at the University of Victoria and his BFA at NSCAD where he also taught sculpture.
