The Rock and the Stone by Louis-Charles Dionne

Cape Breton University Art Gallery presents The Rock and the Stone, a solo exhibition by Louis-Charles Dionne.

“The rock is the initial object. It is the boulder I collected on the site of the abandoned quarry in Marble Mountain, Nova Scotia. There, scars of industry linger on the bank of the Bras d’Or Lake. The stone is the substance. It is the material that is imbued (or not) with value and prestige deriving from distinctive qualities—a colour or a veining pattern for example—that are tied to specific geological conditions and connect the stone to the location where it was extracted.” – Louis-Charles Dionne

The exhibition will open for public viewing on Friday, October 17. All are welcome to attend an opening reception on Friday, October 24, from 6:30 pm to 8:30 pm.
