DEAD SOLDIERS
installation by Craig Francis Power
December 4th (opening and artist talk: 7pm) - 31st, 2004
Over the summer of 2004, Craig Francis Power was contacted by the departed
spirit of his deceased grandfather, H. Ford, who instructed him in the
formal and conceptual framework of the installation Dead Soldiers at Eastern
Edge in St. John's. This exhibition represents the first time their
collaborative efforts have been shown in a public gallery.
Power's previous work has dealt with masculinity, the rural and the abject
as manifested in imagery of cowboys and Jesus Christ.
Craig Francis Power was born in St. John's, NL. and graduated from NSCAD in
2002. His work has been exhibited in galleries and festivals throughout
Canada and the U.S. In November 2004, he received a grant from the
Newfoundland and Labrador Arts Council for the completion of his first
novel: A Long Ballad of Sorrowful Happenings.
