Pair of exhibitions slated for Old Courthouse gallery Arnica Artist-Run Centre is presenting two exhibitions starting later this month: Futur Simple by Aimée Henny Brown and Melodies for Solo Voices by Roberto Santaguida. Common to these exhibitions are complex acts of fragmentation and reorganization. The series of collages and books, Futur Simple, is the work of Henny Brown, a Vancouverbased artist who describes her practice as interdisciplinary and project-based. Henny Brown’s collages are assembled from an eclectic mix of print material from the 1960s and 1970s, which she gathers into cohesive-yet-otherworldly composite structures that invoke the spirit of old survival guides,

In doing so, the film becomes an alternative kind of group portrait, one that shifts between the solitary focus of the individual rehearsals and orchestration of those solo voices through the filmic structure itself. Futur Simple and Melodies for Solo Voices will be at Arnica Artist-Run Centre from Sept. 29 to Nov. 4. The Arnica Artist-Run Centre is downtown in the Old Courthouse Cultural Centre at Seymour Street and First Avenue.
