Douglas Scholes’s work recognizes the pragmatic aesthetic, the changing state of things and acts as they are perceived in the present through which he incorporates the opportunities levied by the academies of the University of Lethbridge [BFA, 1999] and l’Université du Québec à Montréal [MFA, 2001]. His work has been exhibited through private and public galleries and by way of artist residencies in Canada, the USA and Europe that has combined the actions of sorting and maintenance brought about by wandering, roaming and the regular encounters with the contiguous condition of things.
Scholes has engaged with the condition of things since (This is) What happens when and thing is maintained (?), 2004, the inaugural exhibition of DARE DARE’s Dis-location project in Square Viger. His engagement with the public domain was fostered by his continued involvement with the Center as a 5-year board member in various capacities and as an artist with SATELLITE Detroit, PASSPORT and as a member at large.

Few Words About TARGET
10:51 PMRead moreIn this site-specific installation Douglas SCHOLES produces windows created from cast sheets of beeswax for a blighted house as an act of symbolic maintenance. From September 26th to October 12th, Douglas Scholes occupied Lefty, one of two blighted houses owned by The Imagination Station. He appropriated the space to make it his own: securing an electricity source by running an extension cord from the neighbour’s house, by nurturing relationships with the homeless who squat the Hotel adjacent to Lefty, by creating a secure safe space to store materials and equipment in the adjacent house, Righty, by creating the furniture to work on and finding a way to get and store water.
