'Other Worlds' installation in Halifax

I'm in Halifax installing the 'Other Worlds' exhibition at Dalhousie Art Gallery.



We just finished thanks to the great help from the team here. Peter Dykuis and Corinna Ghaznavi are the curators of the show, and Peter is also the director of the gallery here. He's been a real support during the final days when the crunch was on.

Peter checking out the install. These are the 'text' walls with the figure in the far background.
Fionnuala Reynolds finishing the building.
 Wes Johnston adjusting the lighting on the figure. Its a tricky job because of the size of the works and the glare but he handled it nicely. Besides gallery assistant, Wes also handles communication and outreach at the gallery.





Robin Metcalf, director of the St. Marys University gallery dropped by to chat and preview the show.
Talking with Sym Corrigan who handles communication and design for the gallery. Sym will design the catalog for the show, I'm looking forwards to it.
Thats Michele Gallant, prepator and registar for the gallery. There was a lot to do and a tight schedule for the install, but we finished with time to spare and it looks fantastic. Many thanks to Michele.
Doyle and myself finishing off the wave.

These windows look into the gallery and show off the whale nicely.
