About the exhibition:

HOT 4 THE MOMENT uses printmaking, performance, textiles, sculpture and video as tools to explore labour, gender, and friendship. Their work uses humor as a vessel for change and pop-culture as a language to explore difficult topics, and to break down expectations of “women under the patriarchy”. This often looks at gendered labour and representation in the media. NOTICE ME! is a playful examination of gendered cultural and social labour norms. This body of work uses imagery of work sites and construction signage to consider what is traditionally valued as paid labour vs. what goes mostly unrecognized and underpaid moving through the world as both artists and women.

With their first body of work as HOT 4 THE MOMENT, Georgia Dawkin and Drew Pardy use playfulness, humour, softness and collaboration as an act of resilience and protest against systems of oppression within professional spaces as THE FIX-ITS. Together, they dissect these themes through dispersing labour and decentering oneself in practice.

Artist Bios:

Georgia Dawkin and Drew Pardy are the two halves of the friendship heart necklace that is HOT 4 THE MOMENT . A creative collective, HOT 4 THE MOMENT developed as a way for Georgia Dawkin and Drew Pardy to combine common themes within their work, and to provide a space for play within their art practices. HOT 4 THE MOMENT has exhibited in Eastern Edge Gallery (NL), Neutral Ground Artist Run Centre (SK), designed sets for Lawnya Vawnya Music Festival (NL), and performed at CB Nuit (NL), and the Atlantic Arts Symposium (NB). They were the 2024 Elbow Room Artists in Residence at The Rooms (NL) and the VANL Emerging Artists of the Year in 2024. Both Georgia and Drew are currently based in St. John’s, NL and have received their BFAs from Grenfell Campus, Memorial University.
