NARRATIVE FALLACY
October 14 - December 11, 2022

Narrative Fallacy scatters unprompted memories and intense personal experiences amidst a shiftless, changing horizon. In this exhibition, Mario Cerroni, Victoria Laube, Leah Mowers, and Christopher Schmitt dissect the troubling notion of impermanence and present a chaotic collision of past, present and future. Between the loss of one artist’s faith, and another artist’s exploration of the necessity of death, lies the shaky uncertainty of the future. And yet, between one artist’s interventions on sensory memory, and one artist’s predictions of the future, lies the reminder that change can lead to becoming. This exhibition alludes to the expressive potential of having the rug pulled from your feet, and the wool from your eyes.

This exhibition is the culmination of a six-month artist residency at the SPAO Centre, where each artist worked on personal passion projects. The artists negotiated between the challenges of ongoing pandemic restrictions, and staying true to their artistic pursuits. The result is a timely and thoughtful experience that pursues authenticity despite external pressures. View Narrative Fallacy online by visiting spao.ca/gallery.
