When the artist\u2019s mother gave him a box filled with his childhood drawings of astronauts, report cards, and poorly-received term papers, he saw it as a new artistic undertaking. \u201cThe series of paintings began because I wanted to use the contents of this box as the background, a starting point from which to go in a new direction,\u201d said Galligan-Baldwin. \u201cI was drawn to their texture and color; the pages were old, brittle, and worn. I was interested in how these items, however mundane, have influenced my life. In doing so I have used images accumulated in the past ten years. Random photos of parking signs, the hotel key card I incidentally took from the Chicago Art Club Trip, airplane safety cards, and other ordinary images I kept and began to juxtapose them with my past to form a bond. Arrows giving directions, text, random antennae, and voice bubbles carry signals and clues for the viewer to migrate from panel to panel, from image to image, giving hints to past experiences while producing new ones to be regarded.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Jason is currently an Assistant Professor of Art and Studio Arts Coordinator at Norwich University in Northfield, Vermont. Jason has exhibited his artwork in solo, juried (international, national, and regional), and group shows throughout the United States. He was one of three jurors for the Ohio +5 Biennial held at the Dairy Barn Arts Center in Athens, Ohio. His work is included in the permanent collections of The University of Southern Indiana, The University of Arkansas at Fort Smith, the Laurel Arts League, the Meridian Museum of Art, and several other private collections.<\/p>\n<p><em>(from the gallery\u2019s press materials)<\/em><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3>INFORMATION<\/h3>\n<p>Galerie Maison Kasini<br \/>\nat the Belgo Building<br \/>\n372 Ste Catherine West, Suite 408<br \/>\nMontreal, Quebec H3B 1A2<strong><br \/>\n<\/strong>Hours: Wednesday to Saturday, 11AM to 5:30PM; Open Late on Thursday \u2019til 7PM; or anytime by appointment.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/maps.google.ca\/maps\/place?cid=411164823394512457&amp;q=maison+kasini&amp;hl=en&amp;cd=1&amp;ei=mKeETLuuLIbOoASyyYzbDA&amp;sig2=DHIFo1uA8t-FRT79o5zfNg&amp;sll=45.50585,-73.567326&amp;sspn=0.007594,0.014141&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;ll=45.510798,-73.574409&amp;spn=0,0&amp;t=h&amp;z=16&amp;iwloc=A\" target=\"_blank\">MAP<\/a> | <a href=\"http:\/\/www.maisonkasini.com\" target=\"_blank\">WEBSITE<\/a> | <a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/maisonkasini\" target=\"_blank\">FACEBOOK<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Images<\/p>\n<p>top: 12\u201dx9\u201d; collage: acrylic and printed paper on canvas; 2010<\/p>\n<p>right: 31\u201dx8\u201d; collage: acrylic and printed paper on skateboard; 2010<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>at Galerie Maison Kasini<\/p>\n<p>January 14th to February 18th, 2012<\/p>\n<p>Jason Galligan-Baldwin presents a series of collage-paintings that explore childhood memory.
