About the Item
This series resembles a Surrealist picture poem—suggestive visual puns that both invite and resist reading. The titles (Pet Cock, Try Cock, Automatic, and Lubricator) are gleaned from piping and instrumentation diagrams. Myre may be offering a critique of the masculinization of industries, but given her other tactile poems, she may also be demonstrating the erotics of the work place—how sites usually thought to repress desire actually embed “Desire Schematics” in the fabric of its discourses. The tone of these works is earnest amusement—the pleasure of making connections and playing.
Born in Montreal, Nadia Myre is a First Nations artist who employs collaborative processes as a strategy for engaging in conversations about identity, resilience and politics of belonging. Recent accomplishments include an artist-in-residency at the McCord Museum culminating in her exhibition Decolonial Gestures or Doing it Wrong? Refaire le chemin (2016), winning the 2014 Sobey Art Award, and commissions for new work: Oraison/Orison (galerie Oboro, Montreal, 2014), Formes et Paroles (Musée Dapper, Senegal, 2014), and Sakahàn (National Gallery of Canada, Ottawa, 2013). As well as having participated in international biennales (Shanghai 2014, Sydney 2012, and Montreal 2011), Myre’s work has featured in prominent group exhibitions such as Water Diary (FRAC Haute-Normandie, Sotteville-lès-Rouen, FR), Changing Hands 3 (Museum of Art and Design, New York, NY), Pour une république des rêves (CRAC Alsace - Centre Rhénan d’Art Contemporain, Altkirch, FR), Time, Le temp du dessin (Ensemble Poirel, Nancy, France), Vantage Point (National Museum of American Indian National Mall, Washington, DC), It Is What It Is (National Gallery of Canada), and Femmes Artistes. L’éclatement des frontières 1965-2000 (Musée national des beaux-arts du Québec, QC).
