Hermes is an artist co-operative located in the North end of Halifax, near the corner of Agricola and North Street. We represent both new and established artists with a wide range of work. Founded by Emily Jones in 2013, Hermes has recently evolved into a new model, managed by Peter Dykhuis, Eryn Foster, and Katie Belcher, each experienced arts administrators with active artistic practices.

This past month, Eryn Foster Art Stuff has been using HERMES as a laboratory for thinking, making, doing, working, and creating new drawings, collages, prints and constructed works on paper. She’s also been chatting with other artists and passersby about the meaning of life, salami and the incredible life’s work of David Hockney.

If you would like to join in the conversation or see what she has been up to in the gallery, you can drop by HERMES and visit her during open-hours this week (June 16-20th).

Or better yet, come and join her for a modestly catered reception happening this Saturday from 2-5pm.

Tallows. Smoke Points. Letdowns. By Sally Wolchyn-Raab. April 18-May 17, reception and artist talk from 3-6PM April 18.

Lithography relies on fat: not only can any lipid be used as a drawing medium, but the process itself is founded on the molecular properties of lipids (oil and water don’t mix). Kitchen lithography, a DIY adaptation of this traditional and notoriously labour-intensive printmaking process, harkens readily to conversations about food and feminism. It breaks away from the authority of traditional litho, and brings it into a space of accessibility and community.

I started working in lithography when I wanted to use fat, particularly culinary and my own body fat as a drawing medium. What are the social hierarchies and transformations of such a versatile, necessary and divisive group of materials? From culinary products, beauty trends to my own “body fat” harvested during my time breastfeeding, this work explores my own experiences and complex relationship to fats/my body as a platform for how we moralize certain foods along the lines of race, class and culture, and how perceptions of value based on body size impact our daily lives.
