Elpida Hadzi-Vasileva, Fragility (2015)

"Taking over the length, breadth and height of the church the installation, Fragility, utilises Hadzi-Vasileva’s appropriation of unusual materials, in this case pigs caul fat. Exploring the expérience de mort imminente or near death experience, Elpida has focused upon the light seen and discussed by those effected, employing the architecture of Fabrica to route light through animal membrane - juxtaposing experience and materiality."

let's meet at the confluence (2024)

A little sneak peak of my work for The New Gallery and Billboard 208 that will be up from January 27th - June 28th, 2024. Images of it installed to come! <3

let’s meet at the confluence is a suggestion to all Calgarians to consider the site where the Elbow flows into the Bow river and question how settler-colonial history is privileged in public and site specific art. The piece references the different histories of gathering at the confluence of the waters, histories that long predate Calgary, Alberta. Despite histories of Indigenous uses of the land, queer cruising, sex work, trade, the arrival of the railway, and the North West Mounted Police, the site of the confluence is often overlooked and rarely used as the great meeting place that it once was. 

The simple map and text invites an audience of all backgrounds, Indigenous and non-Indigenous alike, to make their way from the The New Gallery along the Bow river to the confluence viewpoint and to consider their proximity to one another. The text is in English and the word confluence is repeated in multiple languages including Blackfoot, Cantonese, and Cree to honour the artist’s Michif roots and the specific location of the billboard on Treaty 7 and in China Town, pointing to the history of many different people living along the rivers.

I haven't made a video of attaching the rings. IT'S DIFFICULT! I have a system for attaching four rings to each tile before attaching it to the garment. Hopefully I'll get in a rhythm. Right now, this is the trickiest aspect of the project. Two rows done > 29 rows total:

9 rows of 11 tiles across [99 tiles total] +

8 rows of 13 tiles [104 tiles total] +

4 rows of 15 tiles [60 tiles total] +

4 rows of 9 tiles [36 tiles total] +

4 rows of 4 tiles [16 tiles total]

Again, I'll start at the top of the garment and get as far as I can. I KNOW I want to complete the widest section, the third one with 4 rows of 16 tiles. Anything after that is cherry.

「大地がつくる」

この地に生えていくことを考えた作品です。

大地から生えてくるように、二股に裂かれた一枚の鏡面の板を地面から垂直に配置します。立体は風の動きによってゆらゆらと揺れ動きながら、時には重力に引っ張られたり雪や雨など様々な自然の刺激によって、現れる景色を変化させていきます。この地が、この立体とこの場所の「かたち」をつくっていくのです。

それは、自然だけでなく、もっと些細な周りの人の営みという人為的な場所の状況の変化にも影響を受け、二つに別れて捉えた景色を互いに追いかけ合いながら、情景を映し出します。風、雪、それらを含めた自然という大地の摂理と、この場所にいる人との関わりが、この立体そのものをつくるのです。 それは、この地がこの立体を育んでいくことでもあり、この地と相互に関係しながらこの風景の一部をになっていくことでもあります。その相互が関わり合う連鎖こそが、この場所となるのです。この作品が、これからこの場所と向き合い適応しながら、どのように風景の一部として、この大地を生きていくかを見つめていきたいと思います。

‘Made by the earth’ This work is about growing out of the ground. A single mirrored board, torn in two, is placed vertically from the ground, as if growing out of the earth. The three-dimensional object shimmers with the movement of the wind, sometimes pulled by gravity or by various natural stimuli such as snow and rain, changing the landscape that emerges. This ground creates the ‘shape’ of this three-dimensional object and this place. It is affected not only by nature, but also by the more trivial changes in the human condition of the place, such as the activities of the people around it, and the two separate landscapes are projected onto the scene, following each other. The wind, the snow, the providence of nature including them, and the relationship between the people in this place create this three-dimensional object itself. This means that the land nurtures the three-dimensionality and becomes a part of the landscape through mutual relations with the land. The chain of mutual relations is what makes this place what it is. I would like to look at how this work will face and adapt to this place and how it will live on this land as part of the landscape.
