genizah: hulls
Poolside Project Space – Angela Henderson + Solomon Nagler
This exhibition is a continuation of a collaborative project that explores the porous architecture of the genizah; a non-archive where sacred printed matter deteriorates without intervention. Laser-cut steel sculptures, 16mm projections, and speculative wood structures draw out the tension between digital processes and hand-formed objects. This assemblage suggests an archive of ephemera; a tension between stasis and flux; illumination and the ineffable.
Opening: June 27th, 6pm
genizah: hulls runs June 27 – 29, 12-5 pm.
Poolside Gallery, Video Pool Media Arts Centre

Angela Henderson is an interdisciplinary artist living and working in K’jipuktuk (Halifax, NS). Situating her work within an subtext of urban environments, she is interested in the relationship between fallow and undesignated spaces within ordered systems, how they disrupt and embody states of becoming. Her work is often site-specific and she uses drawing, sculpture, and public installation to develop relationships between materials and technologies that embody absence and emerge through erasure.
Solomon Nagler’s films have been featured in many festivals and cinéma institutions around the world. Retrospectives of his work have been screened across Canada, and internationally in Paris, Berlin, Melbourne and Auckland. His work also includes 16mm celluloid installations that engage with sculpture and experimental architecture in galleries and public space.
Poolside Project Space:
Periodically, Poolside Gallery will be made available for member-use as a project space. While these instances are not part of Video Pool’s formal programming, the public may have access to view the work should the artist(s) chose.
