Hoax’s practice involves sculpture, performance, installation, and illustration that explores the ever-oscillating tensions and weight of yearning, aloneness, eroticism, and desire (romantic, platonic, the self) using themes of hard and soft, sensuality and clinical, the body and the incorporeal, the threats of violence or invitations of care, desirability or discomfort, while using materials and iconography that steam from personal visual languages and symbology, cultural upbringing, and fetish/eroticism.
MOVEMARROW Artist Talk
Join us at the Art Gallery of Nova Scotia for an evening presentation with artist Brandon Hoax, who will be a featured artist in the exhibition Ta’n a’sikatikl sipu’l | Confluence.
Hoax will discuss their recent series MOVEMARROW and how this project, which set out to create and give away ribbon harnesses, turned into explorations of queer Indigenous reciprocity and collaboration through gift-giving and internet parasocial connection.
Learn about new work that is in development after the experiences of exchange through MOVEMARROW.
AGNS’ Creative Minds series hosts community leaders and creatives to respond to current events, exhibitions on view, or artworks in the Gallery. Through conversation, music, poetry, or movement, these events aim to provoke new ideas, explore the unexpected and create more understanding for everyone involved.
MOVEMARROW explores mature themes of sexuality and fetish/eroticism.
ASL interpretation will be available at this event.
If you are unable to attend in-person, this event will be livestreamed.
