老實講，呢啲咁既垃圾展覽，九成十係，呃細路。我現在不是細路所以我唔會去不過咁岩見到就舖上黎。我知到有人會鐘意呢啲野。話晒都係。藝術。係褒係貶，見仁見智。同埋出到個show都叫做係成功。我不朽都無完全認同果啲前衛派做埋啲無俚頭既野黎呃飯食。不過個市場有需要我都無話可說。同埋我最討厭果啲懶係高深既學問尤其係雞腸
Miscreants and Reprobates
Myfanwy MacLeod
William Hogarth
June 22 to August 21, 2011
Opening Tuesday June 21 at 7:30pm
The Charles H. Scott Gallery is pleased to present an exhibition that will bring together work by Vancouver artist Myfanwy MacLeod and 18th century prints by William Hogarth. This playful pairing highlights the social satire that dominates the work of both artists as they document the pitfalls of human folly from vice and wantonness to ambition and indolence.
Miscreants and Reprobates features a number of new works by Myfanwy MacLeod made specifically for this exhibition as well as earlier prints and drawings such as The Drunkard’s Walk, or How Randomness Rules Our Lives and Anecdotes of Modern Art. The exhibition situates these works in dialogue with William Hogarth’s iconic Gin Lane and Beer Street, The Harlot’s Progress and Industry and Idleness.
Myfanwy MacLeod has been shown extensively in solo and group exhibition throughout the world including Nomads at the National Gallery of Canada in 2009. In 2010 she was commissioned by the City of Vancouver to produce her large-scale public sculpture, The Birds for the former Olympic Village site in False Creek. Miscreants and Reprobates is the second exhibition of MacLeod’s work at the Charles H. Scott Gallery. Her A Brief Overview of Personology was shown at the gallery in 2000.
William Hogarth (1697-1764) was highly successful during his lifetime and his prints continue to be popular for their witty depictions of all levels of English society during that colourful era. The Hogarth works in the exhibition are part of Emily Carr University’s Wosk Masterworks Print Collection.
The exhibition is curated by Cate Rimmer.
