(i)Pad 3
Andrew Maize with a.corn inc
March 5 – 29, 2012

The installation of (i)Pads by a.corn inc reconstructs the Corridor Gallery to display newly designed conceptual crafts from March 5 – 29, 2012. Describing the new products Andrew Maize, director of a.corn inc, explains the design:

If you are tired of trying to keep up with the latest and greatest technology, then the new (i)Pad 3 is for you. When you pick up the (i)Pad 3, it becomes an extension of you. And it makes resting natural after a long day of searching the web, checking email, watching movies and reading books, you’ll wonder how you ever managed without it. Technology that just makes scents: technology so unadvanced, you’ll forget it’s even there.

a.corn inc is the brainchild of emerging artist: Andrew Maize.  The new Halifax based collective has a mandate to produce locally, hand-made technologies with humanitarian, environmental and concraftualist ethics. For more information on the (i)Pad 3 project visit http://thenewipad3.wordpress.com.

Andrew Maize graduated from NSCAD University in 2011. He has exhibited in solo and group shows at the Anna Leonowens Gallery and also participated in Eyelevel Gallery’s Public Performance Series. Currently his work can also be found at Seeds Gallery and as part of ERI5 at Eyelevel Gallery in Halifax.

Located inside the Visual Arts Nova Scotia (VANS) office at the Halifax Seaport, since 2000, the Corridor Gallery is complimented by a historical legacy of Nova Scotia culture, simple yet modern architectural elements and an array of current cultural activity in the Cultural Federations of Nova Scotia office. The Corridor Gallery is located at 1113 Marginal Road, Halifax, Nova Scotia and is open Monday through Friday, 9am-5pm.
