— ABOUT THE PROJECT

Shipwright est une exposition narrative qui combine sculpture et performance pour évoquer le passé de la construction navale de l’Île-du-Prince-Édouard. Le public est invité à prendre une tasse de thé au centre communautaire de Riverview et à voir un chantier naval de l’Î.-P.-É., avec une flotte de navires construits par l’artisan local Vernon Corney dans leur première exposition publique. Chaque jour, l’espace est occupé par un couple de charpentiers de marine. Ils travaillent et chantent, dorment et mangent, jouent du banjo et font leurs corvées, le tout pour évoquer la mémoire sensorielle de l’âge de la voile à l’Î.-P.-É..
