Our member Emery Vanderburgh at the VAV Gallery!

Our member Emery Vanderburgh will show her multi-media installation The Disabled Body in Motion, at the VAV Gallery in Montreal, QC. Exhibition runs: June 2–14, 2025 ; Vernissage: June 11, 4–6 PM

12 digital 5x7 acrylic frames play looping animated choreographies of disabled models. Rather than flesh, each body is a topography of color– tangles of tendons, pathways and branches that shift with their movements. As they move, the imprints of their former positions stay in place, creating a trail of color and texture by stacking on top of themselves, tracing the full space that the motion has occupied. These traces are echoed by printed designs on the acrylic frames themselves; each screen is surrounded by splashes of paint coordinated to the color of each performers animations: blue, yellow, pink and green.
