Lonsdale Gallery closed for approximately two weeks over the holiday season. During this time, we wanted to leave on display a piece which would incite conversation about art. George Boileau’s sculpture “A History of Discourse” certainly did that.
In response to the questions we have received since its installation: Yes- the gun is a real .44 calibre, cap and ball, black powder revolver for its historical reference. The revolver has been officially deactivated and approved by the R.C.M.P.

NOVEMBER 1-23, 2003
Lonsdale Gallery is pleased to present Falling from Grace, an exhibition of new work by Canadian Sculptor George Boileau.
The exhibition explores relationships between system(s) and sub-system(s), (such as society and the individual and/or humanity and nature) and the manner in which these relationships are perceived or intellectually modeled. The artist’s concept of Grace lies in his ongoing interest in preservation, loss and the struggle against entropy. The work includes aspects of both the real and the represented.
