We are very pleased to present our next rOGUE Gallery exhibition, "Knowing, Not Knowing, and Being Known / Connaître, ne pas connaître et être connu(e)" by Katelyn Dobbin! 🫀🪡

This collection of work uses Julia Kristeva’s theory of abjection (“the state of being cast off”) and Newfoundland fairy lore as frameworks to explore the intersections of gender, nature, and the grotesque within patriarchal systems of conduct.

The exhibition seeks to generate dialogue about the complexities of Newfoundland culture. The artworks are informed by my memories of girlhood and feature experimental papermaking, quilting, and embroidery techniques that metaphorically index the body and the fragmentary nature of memory. Traditional symbols, such as salt, bread, and silver coins, imply the presence of fairies in my artworks—transforming banal scenes into liminal spaces where the “known” and “unknown” collide.

Cette série d’œuvres s’appuie sur la théorie de l’abjection de Julia Kristeva (« l’état de ce qui est rejeté ») et sur la tradition de conte féerique terre-neuvien comme cadres de réflexion pour explorer les croisements entre le genre, la nature et le grotesque au sein de systèmes de conduite patriarcaux.

L’exposition cherche à susciter un dialogue sur les complexités de la culture terre-neuvienne. Les œuvres s’inspirent de mes souvenirs d’enfance en tant que fille et font appel à des techniques expérimentales de fabrication du papier, de courtepointe et de broderie qui évoquent métaphoriquement le corps et la nature fragmentaire de la mémoire. Des symboles traditionnels, tels que le sel, le pain et les pièces d’argent, suggèrent la présence des fées dans mes œuvres, transformant des scènes banales en espaces liminaires où « le connu » et « l’inconnu » se rencontrent.

In collaboration with First Light, Eastern Edge is pleased to present "Preview", an exhibition by Nelson White, as a part of Spirit Song Festival 2026! 🎉

We will be holding an opening reception for "Preview" in our gallery space on October 16th from 6-8pm. We hope you will join us to enjoy great art, great company, and yummy snacks and refreshments! Check out the link below to read more about Nelson and his work, and to RSVP to the reception 🔗: https://easternedge.ca/nelson-white-preview/

"Preview" is a mix of new along with some older pieces from Indigenous artist Nelson White.

Representation is paramount to White’s works. With each colourful canvas, he considers the complexity of representing someone both as they see themselves and how they are seen. The new collection serves as a poignant insertion of Indigenous histories into the historically Western art form of portrait painting, where Indigenous subjects have been marginalized, misrepresented, or entirely absent. White’s practice is situated within a broader movement of contemporary artists who are working with figuration to redefine traditional portraiture today.
