Searching For Revelations (Within An Unfamiliar Frame)

Searching for Revelations (Within an Unfamiliar Frame) is a two-person exhibition that explores the mnemonic interplay between private family collections and public national commemorations. Alex Withey and Teiji Wallace-Lewis have each collaborated with their respective (grand)mothers to stage various creative interventions within their family photographic albums, histories, and farms. The two (resultant) bodies of work on display at The Alchemy Experiment examine their personal, social, and cultural dis/connections with Finland and Canada through photography, video, and bricolage.
