Condensation (A Cove Story)

Michael Snow

Satellite Project Space
121 Dundas St. London, Ontario

July 5 to 19, 2018
Opening Reception: July 5th from 7 to 9 PM

McIntosh Gallery is excited to present Condensation (A Cove Story) at Satellite Project Space. This 10-minute silent looped projection by Michael Snow premiered at McIntosh Gallery in 2009. The work is a part of the McIntosh Gallery permanent collection but has not been exhibited in London, Ontario since its inaugural presentation.

Referring to both temporal and meteorological conditions, Condensation (A Cove Story)was created using time-lapse photography at Snow’s cabin near Cape Anguille on Newfoundland’s west coast. It is a compressed, condensed recording of an evolving series of weather events and the resulting shifts of light and colour on the wild coastal landscape consisting of the mountains, the windswept fields, the rugged cliffs and rocky shoreline, and the Atlantic Ocean.
