Best IntentionsSite-specific installation at Stride Gallery in Calgary, AB.
January 8 - March 6, 2016 In August 2015 Jeremy Pavka and Sean Procyk travelled to the Peace River Country of Northern Alberta to experience and document a range of off-the-grid living practices. Approaching the project from the framework of do-it-yourself instructional film-making, the two captured their activities within the land-based bush camp. By assuming the role of the amateur and attempting to reclaim autonomy through a process of practical learning, the artists had developed a process which reflects the stance that patterns of consumption have disempowered individuals from pursuing self-reliant practice and sovereign modes of being. This exhibition presents their newly formed collaborative identity using moving image, installation and sound-based works.
