Event Description

Mikhail Miller is a visual artist, also from Calgary and currently working in Victoria. After graduating from ACAD in 2006, he has participated in many eclectic projects across Canada and Mexico. He has been involved with art centers including the Banff Centre and at the Ministry of Casual living in Victoria. This is the third show he has participated in at the fifty fifty.
In July 2015, Rachel and Mikhail collaborated in an installation at Fresh Paint Gallery in Montreal. This is their second project they have worked on together.
Processing RockBay is a site specific installation incorporating documentation of a three week immersive period in the neighborhood surrounding the Fifty-Fifty Arts Collective. The use of physical objects gleaned from manufacturing industries, digital sound and video material sourced from the area and frayed and discarded materials found on the street casts a varied light on the dynamic community of Rock Bay. Collecting artifacts from a specific place and time, filtering the material through an aesthetic process and ultimately displaying the outcome in a controlled gallery environment is the artists attempt to understand the significance of this area socially, environmentally, and economically.
For physical events that happen at a specific time. For example a concert, or dance performance. If there are multiple shows, you can still duplicate your event to cover them all.
