Alternator Gallery presents Bracken Corlett: “Whuulhu: to fuse together”, June 7- July 20

Corlett_imageThe Alternator Centre for Contemporary Art is pleased to present Whuulhu: to fuse together, a multimedia exhibition striking unique balances from a chaos of icons, images, and media. Through a fusion of contemporary and traditional mediums, Bracken Corlett explores his ancestral language of Wuikila, and colonial consequence.

The featured work is a remix. It is a readaptation and rediscovery of culture, spirit and language that covers generations. Threatened by colonialism, there are only a handful of Wuikila speakers around today. Wuulhu – Wuikila word meaning “to fuse together” – is interpreted and used as a driving force for the artwork included in the show; it unites the theme and feeds the included paintings, drawings, sculptures, digital media, and sound. With a backdrop of Corlett’s experiences and research, Whuulu fuses traditional symbols with contemporary ideas of culture.

Bracken H’anuse Corlett is a Northwest Coast based multimedia artist and a member of the Wuikinuxv, Heiltsuk, and Klahoose peoples. His work deals with themes of cultural reclamation and survival, identity politics, hybridity, and decolonization. Much of his work is relevant to his Northwest Coast Indigenous roots and explores the stories, language, songs and art of his people. He is also inspired by art movements of agit-pop, manga and dada.

The Alternator Centre for Contemporary Art welcomes you to visit our space between June 7th and July 20th to view the exhibition. Please join us for an opening reception on Friday, June 7th at 7pm and an artist talk on Saturday June 8th, at 3pm. Both events will take place at The Alternator Centre for Contemporary Art and are free to the public.
