Jason Jones
Folk
July 13–August 10, 2001

Detroit-based artist Dennis Summers and Halifax’s Jason Jones (currently residing in Brooklyn, NY) both use a contemporary (and sometimes ironic) approach to traditional folk iconography and its attendant materials. 

For Jones, it is the consumerist construction of the folk artist (chainsaw carving and all) which provides the artist with a starting point for his treatment of Canadian identity and cultural production.
