Oshawa, Canada

The sculptures featured in “Fear and Faith,” Shayne Dark and Dennis Gill’s recent exhibition, seemed to be the unsettling, if inadvertent, offspring of Louise Bourgeois’s Maman (1999/2003), a 30-foot-tall bronze spider bearing a sac of 26 pure white marble eggs under her belly (there is a version in front of the National Gallery of Canada). Neither bronze nor eight-legged, Dark’s Critical Mass 1, 2, and 3 (2010) resemble arachnid-like…see the full review in May’s magazine.
