Please join us for the closing reception of Glenn Gear’s solo exhibition, tillitâk | pulse.

Glenn will be in attendance and will lead a walk-through of the exhibition.

tillitâk | pulse is a ten-year retrospective of Glenn Gear’s multidisciplinary art practice.

Presented in his hometown and alma mater (BFA, Visual Arts, 1992) for the first time, Gear’s experience as an Indigiqueer Inuk Newfoundlander, rings through the gallery through light, symmetry, material, and the imaginary.

Over the past thirty years, Gear has built his life and career in Tiohtià:ke (Montréal, QC), looking homeward to Nunatsiavut (Northern Labrador) and Elmastukwek (Bay of Islands, NL) for imagery, language, and connection. Projections of place alongside material practice take over the gallery - literally, figuratively, and conceptually.

How do you connect to homeland when you are not there? Gear reminds us that the limits we perceive — in how we remember or envision — are themselves imaginary. Homeland can be both a physical place and an embodied knowledge we take with us.

The works in tillitâk | pulse are more than depictions, together they form a chorus, a breath, a heartbeat for home.
