Outsiders

My exhibition with my mentor Zachari Logan is currently up at the Mendel Art Gallery in Saskatoon.  

Here are some shots taken by Ashleigh Mattern for an article she is writing for the Carfac newsletter.  Included in the show are several large scale pen and ink drawing, an interactive stop motion animation, and one helmet sculpture of the Chrysanthemumalo.  Its best if you see the work in person since there is a lot of detail 

 

Artist By Artist

 On January 25th I will be in Saskatoon for the opening of my Artist by Artist exhibition with my Mentor Zachari Logan at the Mendel in Saskatoon.  It has been my dream to have a show at the Mendel since I first moved to Saskatchewan in grade 4, and now it is happening.  Really excited ! check out this link for more info MENDEL or visit this link for the facebook event page. EVENT

Dinner Party Performance Art Event

This is a series of photos from a recent performance art night held at OCADU Graduate Gallery.  The performance art event was called The Dinner Party where the artist had to respond to the notion of hospitality and incorporate food into their performance.  Artists involved where from the first year IAMD cohort Brette Gabel, Marjan Verstappen, Parastoo Anoshah Pour and myself Humboldt Magnussen.   My performance was based on my own folk tale about the Helmet People and the missing Chrysanthemumalo who is an underwatermelon farmer.  Through using an underwatermelon to take a pinhole photo of the audience I told a story of loss and longing and memory.  The performance was interactive where people with different colour helmets where asked to participate, cut the underwatermelon, tape up the doors to create a dark room inside the gallery, keep time.  In the end the photo was developed which is the archival document of the performance.
