MFA THESIS | Robert Dayton | Outta This World

Outta This World is comprised of drawing, video, music, performance and installation elements. This body of work is an outcome of my thinking about the concept of the nation-state, in this case Canada, and the way that it imposes specific identities on its’ citizens. Using strategies of humour, abject beauty, social engagement and ritual, my work proposes alternate possibilities of Canada through a difficult, yet ultimately beneficial process of de-repression. The artist would like to thank: Joy of Flowers, Princess Cinema, Bang-On, and The Yeti Cafe.

Support will be available in the gallery from 12:00 to 3:00 pm on the following dates: May 13, 14, 16, 19, 20, 21, 26, 27, 30
