Marking Time is the result of a decade of research by Dr. Nicole R. Fleetwood based in New York, USA. This important travelling exhibition concludes its tour in Prince George at Two Rivers Gallery and other partnering venues. Marking Time highlights artists who are, or have been, incarcerated, alongside artists who have not been incarcerated but whose practices expose aspects of the carceral state. Seen together, their works reveal how punitive governance, predatory policing, surveillance, and mass imprisonment impact millions of people in the US. Through this exhibition we will turn a lens to the Canadian context. An important publication by the same name accompanies this exhibition.
This presentation at Two Rivers Gallery and the Robert Frederick Gallery at the University of Northern British Columbia has been organized in collaboration with Dr. Nicole R. Fleetwood, NYU Professor of Media, Culture, and Communication, and the Marking Time Team. Major support for the Exhibition is provided by the Mellon Foundation, the Art for Justice Fund, a sponsored project of Rockefeller Philanthropy Advisors, and NYU Steinhardt School of Culture, Education, and Human Development. Two Rivers Gallery gratefully acknowledges the support of MNP and ABC Photo as sponsors of this exhibition in Prince George.
