David Hoffos: Scenes from the House Dream
David Garneau, Nancy Tousley, Shirley Madill & Chester Pelkey
Scenes from the House Dream is a multi-channel video installation that serves as a compendium of Hoffos’ signature illusionist techniques perfected over years of art production. Hoffos is known for his technologically conjured effects that hearken back to earlier forms of cinema and lantern shows. With television monitors, black masking tape, and mirrors, he uses pre-digital tricks to reveal secret worlds peopled by ethereal figures who draw the viewer into the “personalized architecture of the self.” Four original essays provide a career overview of this major Canadian artist. Publication of a exhibition touring to the National Gallery of Canada, Art Gallery of Nova Scotia, Museum of Contemporary Canadian Art, and the Illingsworth Kerr Gallery. Co-published with Southern Alberta Art Gallery and the TrepanierBaer Gallery.
