Learning to Move Differently: Nadia Myre at the National Gallery of Canada
As I entered the dimly lit opening gallery of Nadia Myre's exhibition at the National Gallery of Canada, I was caught by one of the show's most arresting works: Oraison/Orison (Net) (2014–17).
A large red net composed of twisted rope was suspended from a ceiling-mounted rotary motor and anchored to the floor by fourteen river rocks arranged in a circle. The red rope rose and fell in a steady rhythm, expanding and contracting.
The effect was mesmerizing—for me, its steady motion mirrored biocultural rhythms, moving from the body’s quiet breath to the tide’s resonant swell and release.
Author's summary: Nadia Myre's exhibition at the National Gallery of Canada features a captivating installation.
