# VISUAL ART
Bridget Moser: Every Room is a Waiting Room
November 3 - January 14
Dunlop Art Gallery, 2311 12 Ave. Bridget Moser is an artist who works predominantly in performance and video. Her work is suspended between prop comedy, experimental theatre, performance art, absurd literature, existential anxiety, and intuitive dance. Every Room is a Waiting Room features a new performance and two new videos that bring together an assortment of incongruous objects, gestures, texts, and sounds. By intentionally misusing her selected objects, Moser mines them for their comic potential, tests their ability to function as fluid signifiers, and subtly interrogates the systems that attempt to shape our tastes and dictate how we engage with the world of consumer goods.
Brett Graham: Pioneer
September 2 - February 4 MacKenzie Art Gallery, 3475 Albert St.
A prairie schooner/grain wagon fabricated in Regina by Brett Graham, an artist of Maori and European descent from Aotearoa (New Zealand), considers the prairies as ocean and the tide of settlers as a flood that overwhelmed and devastated the Plains First Nations. Giving form to the lingering racism and misunderstanding that permeates the national consciousness to this day, Graham’s hybrid sculpture was created for the Neutral Ground exhibition WANTED: An Exhibition of Objects of Dread and Desire in 2015 and is a promised donation to the MacKenzie.
Jeff Funnell: Notes from the Inquest September 30 - January 28 MacKenzie Art Gallery, 3475 Albert St.
Against the backdrop of Brett Graham’s response to settlement period injustices, Notes from the Inquest by Winnipeg artist Jeff Funnell points to the urgent problems of racial discrimination and social inequality faced by Indigenous people today. In April 1988, Funnell attended and documented the coroner’s inquest into the police shooting of J.J. Harper, a Wasagamack Cree leader shot by Winnipeg police constable Robert Cross. Funnell’s 90 courtroom drawings tell the story of the inquest through quickly executed sketches, personal notes and commentary.
Jeanne Randolph: My Claustrophobic Happiness
October 20 - February 4
MacKenzie Art Gallery, 3475 Albert St.
An exhibition that will extend art writer Dr. Jeanne Randolph’s interpretation of North American consumer culture into a Freudian hallucinogenic realm. Randolph has created an exhibition incorporating creative and critical writing—called “ficto-criticism”—inspired by, and alongside, works from the MacKenzie Art Gallery permanent collection.
Sylvia Ziemann: Accidental Utopia December 9 - February 23
Art Gallery of Regina, 2420 Elphinstone Street
Accidental Utopia is an exhibition of drawings and paintings that describe a fictional post-apocalyptic future in which animal-human hybrids construct a new world. Their society is non-hierarchical, and not burdened by racism and sexism, by capitalism or greed.
Heather Cline: Quiet Stories January 13 - March 14
Slate Fine Art Gallery, 2078 Halifax St
Over the past ten years, Heather Cline has been gathering stories from residents of communities across Canada, collecting personal and regional histories Through a series of artist residency projects and public engagements. Cline interviewed people and the interviews inspired Cline to paint different geographical locations, connecting with the subject matter through others’ experience of place. Audio excerpts from the artist’s collection of interviews are interspersed amongst the paintings to create a rich and intimate audience experience.
Anna Anthropy: Herding Cats January 18 - April 4
Dunlop Central Mediatheque, 2311 12 Ave.
Anna Anthropy makes fun and simple videogames, as well as tabletop games, puzzle games, cooperative games, interactive fiction, and zines. Her work explores autobiographical subjects ranging from the personal to the fantastical to the everyday. Herding Cats features an 8-bit, purple-haired, unrepentant cat lady who is on a mission to make friends with every cat in the neighbourhood. Addressing subjects and scenarios often overlooked in the videogame world, Anthropy is part of a growing movement of queer, trans, and femme indie game developers who are making space for other voices in the scene.
