Sandra Meigs




Telling Stories, Secret Lives
Jan Allen, Steven Matijcio et al

Inspired by an upsurge in the use of narrative in contemporary art, this publication reconsiders installation and sculptural works by taking into account their narrative potential and by making tangible the imaginative trajectories they embody. To accomplish this, seven writers respond to works by seven artists. Through prose and poetry they take approaches ranging from counterpoint to empathetic engagement with their subject work. This inventive publication presents each text adjacent to its its subject image, an essay, as well as catalogue entries on each of the works with summary texts, artists' statements and bibliographical notes. Featured artists are Dorothy Cameron, Ian Carr-Harris, Robin Collyer, Vera Frenkel, Myfanwy MacLeod, Sandra Meigs and Terry Pfliger.

Sandra Meigs: Reverie - Swoon and The Newborn
Lisa Baldissera

'Reverie' presents two recent installation works: 'The Newborn' (2001) and 'Swoon' (2002). "Enchantment is the word often used to describe the work of Victoria-based artist Sandra Meigs. Her paintings, writings, films and drawings engage both the imagination and the intellect, and like the discomforting gaze of a young child, her creations are unwavering on each measure."

Sandra Meigs
Marie Perrault

Publication d'une exposition qui couvre la production de l'artiste de près de quinze années. La lecture de Perrault met en relief plusieurs principes inscrits dans ses peintures. Parmi ceux-là, elle remarque l'intérêt de Meigs pour les histoires personnelles et l'identité individuelle en relation avec les scènes populaires. Comme trame unificatrice, Perrault a privilégié les illusions à la culture visuelle, notamment par le cinéma. Texte en français et an anglais.
