Main Gallery

Eastern Edge’s Main Gallery is our primary exhibition space, featuring contemporary work from provincial, national, and international artists. Our Main Gallery programming seeks to facilitate critical dialogue concerning issues in contemporary art and society, actively encouraging emerging and established artists whose work speaks to feminist, multicultural, queer, and other diverse perspectives.

The space is programmed through an annual call for submissions, with the exception of two exhibition slots; each year, we present an Annual Members’ Exhibition in the Summer, and an exhibition in partnership with First Light NL for Spirit Song Festival in the Fall.

Upcoming Exhibitions

Lucas Morneau, Queer Newfoundland Hockey League (QNHL)

February 6 – March 21, 2026

Queer Newfoundland Hockey League (QNHL) is a fictional hockey league made up of 14 teams, all with team names that include pejoratives used against the 2SLGBTQIA+ community. The artist’s reclamation of these terms not only critiques existing hegemonic masculinity in sports culture, it also aims to create a new, positive, and accepting masculinity for sports enthusiasts.

Miya Turnbull, Traces

April 10 – May 23, 2026

In Traces, Miya Turnbull delves into self-representation through masks, sculpture, photography and video to explore identity as something layered, fragmented and continually transforming. At the heart of the exhibition is her ongoing collection of various hand-crafted self-portrait masks, realistic yet uncanny forms cast from her own face and reimagined through collage and distortion. Extending this language of masking to the full body, traced outlines and empty “skin-suits” on the gallery walls act as proxies, suggesting forms that were once inhabited but are now hollow, suspended or pinned in place. These self-portraits, along with life-sized photographs and video performances, function as fragments or echoes, tangible traces of identity in flux, caught between presence and absence. Together, these elements form an environment where body, image and memory overlap: an archaeology of the self in transformation. Traces invites viewers to reflect on how identity endures through what is left behind.

**Jongwook Park, One Breath, Many Echoes | 숨·결들**

June 12 – July 25, 2026

This exhibition explores how adult language acquisition shapes identity, rooted in my move from Seoul to the bilingual environment of Montreal. At the core of the installation are hand drawings that integrate Minhwa (Korean folk art) and Hangul (Korean script). By removing vibrant colors and breaking characters into unreadable shapes, the work illustrates how one’s own culture shifts and transforms when trying to understand another.

The monochromatic imagery becomes a migrant pattern that reflects different methods of communication. These patterns move across mediums—directly on paper, scaled up through digital prints, and becoming undulated imagery by carving into wet clay. Each material presents a different threshold, mirroring the physical and mental effort of adjusting to a new environment. Through the presentation of these various mediums across the space, I aim to visualize the complexities of linguistic adaptation, reflecting human flexibility while showing the slippage through visual fragmentation.
