The Niagara Artists Centre continues its series of exhibitions in a satellite flea market gallery with a show by Port Colborne artist Doug Carter. Called Cultural Debris, the exhibit is a collection of new work that Carter has created by manipulating and assembling objects he has found in Niagara’s largest emporium of cast-off goods, the Factory Outlet Flea Market. As he explains, “it’s a veritable archaeological dig into the past several decades of Western pop culture”. Carter’s exhibit responds to a range of considerations including the waste generated by a throw-away society of material consumerists as well as the redolence and nostalgia that lost objects hold.

NAC has been presenting work in the Flea Market Gallery since October 2010. “There are all sorts of assumptions about who contemporary art is for and where it should be found,” says NAC’s Minister of Energy Minds and Resources, Stephen Remus, “we work to make the exciting ideas being shared through visual art available to everyone in places you wouldn’t expect”.

Find the Flea Market Gallery inside the flea market at the corner of Elm & Wall Streets.

The opening begins at 4:30 with a special presentation talk being given by Dr. Alison McQueen at 5:30 and the MIP manager Mark Stewart for the regular exhibition on the ground floor which is occurring simultaneously with the Val Ramsay collection exhibition. (The Innovation Park is having regular local art exhibits in its 1st floor atrium which promises to be an exciting new venue for Hamilton artists). The exhibition continues until July.

Directions: Traveling south on Longwood Street South from Main Street West the building will be on your left and the entrance to the visitor parking lot will also be on your left, just before the building (It’s the old Camco building).
