- David Harper’s “Last to Win”
Peter Kelly doesn’t pick the artists for HRM’s second annual Contemporary Visual Art Award (he may be more of a dogs ‘n’ poker or big boat dude, we’re not sure), but he will be in attendance tonight at the opening of the exhibition. But whoever does pick these artists, knows what they’re doing.
See work from all the shortlisted artists—David Harper, Jessica Hein, Kyle Monchuk, Sara Hartland-Rowe and Aaron Weldon—at the Nova Scotia Archives (Chase Exhibit Room, 6016 University) from 5-7pm. If you can’t make it tonight, the exhibition is open until the 29th (8:30am-4:30pm. Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday. 8:30am-9pm on Wednesday and 9am-5pm on Saturday).

Will it be art drawn on live animals like what’s in the pic or have I got it wrong?
nominated artist David Harper taxidermies his own animals onto the forms, which he incorporates with needlework and other elements–check out the back quarters, that is completely stitched in.
