#VISUAL ART
The Permanent Collection: Walking with Saskatchewan. Mackenzie Art Gallery, 3475 Albert St. Our upcoming permanent collection exhibition explores the diverse ways that artists in Saskatchewan have related to land, and how our objects carry stories and histories. Guest curated by Bruce Hugh Russell, this 10-month long exhibition will examine the history of Saskatchewan art and culture through Indigenous and settler perspectives, featuring a rotating selection of works primarily from the MAG’S permanent collection with select works that both highlight and help fill in the gaps in our collection. Mitchell Wiebe: Vampsites. Mackenzie Art Gallery, 3475 Albert St. Vampsites is the latest exhibition from artist Mitchell Wiebe. Born and raised in Regina, Wiebe combines making and showing, employing a surreal personal lexicon and mythology of colours and textures, motifs and narratives, Wiebe imports the chaos and theatre of his studio into the well-lit, rational architecture of the art gallery. He adopts a distinctive persona who emerges from the same fictive world inhabited by his array of fantastical animalesque characters.
Christi Belcourt & Isaac Murdoch –
UPRISING: The Power of Mother Earth. Mackenzie Art Gallery, 3475 Albert St. This is the first retrospective of Belcourt’s work. It traces her practice from its beginnings, in the early 1990s, to the present, and concludes with recent works made collaboratively with Isaac Murdoch, an Anishinaabe knowledge keeper and emerging visual artist. The exhibition comprises more than thirty major Belcourt paintings, loaned by numerous private collectors and by such public institutions as the National Gallery of Canada, Wabano Centre for Aboriginal Health, Art Gallery of Ontario, Canadian Museum of History, Thunder Bay Art Gallery, and Crown-indigenous Relations and Northern Affairs Canada. It also includes Murdoch’s iconic images, such as Thunderbird Woman, which feature prominently on the front lines of the resistance movement against resource extraction.
Rajni Perera and Nep Sidhu:
Banners for New Empires. Mackenzie Art Gallery, 3475 Albert St. Artists Rajni Perera and Nep Sidhu combine languages of ancestral technology and science fiction to create a parallel visual universe. Inside this world, visitors can learn and heal through stories from the artists’ new empires. The artists challenge harmful modernist notions of utopia by emphasizing an unapologetically immigrant and Indigenous forward futurism. With over twenty works, the exhibition includes collaborative works by both artists, as well as a site-specific mural.
Through a variety of mixed media, Banners for New Empires provides multiple instances for visitors to reflect on their past, to affirm their present, and to generate new knowledge for their future. Here, collective healing takes place through negotiating, acknowledging, and returning to traditions of empathy. The exhibition is anything but an escape. They are introductions to other stories, which exist in past, present, and future, traversing within and between cultures, communities and histories.
Julie Oh: Selected Videos. Dunlop Central Mediatheque, 2311 12th Ave. Julie Oh works with photography, video, and installation to examine our understanding of, and relationship with, everyday objects. Central Mediatheque will feature a selection of Oh’s strangely satisfying videos that test the properties of various materials and household goods.
Julie Oh: Tunnel, Air, Mother. Dunlop Sherwood Gallery, 2311 12th Ave. Julie Oh works with photography, video, and installation to examine our understanding of, and relationships with, common objects. By questioning her selected object’s use and nature using intuitive, sometimes nonsensical approaches, Oh positions the viewer to consider the use and values of these objects in new ways.
Marigold Santos: MALAGINTO. Dunlop Central Gallery, 2311 12th Ave. Marigold Santos’ practice explores the ways in which ideas of self-hood can become multiple, fragmented, and dislocated and then reinvented and recreated through a reflection of movement, migration and change. In particular, she returns to the memories associated with her family’s immigration from the Philippines to Canada in the late 80’s as an auto-biographical point of departure, and considers the experiences of a young person coming to terms with a new sense of self in relation to their new environment. Negotiating narratives of the past and present results in the creation of a personal myth, a visual vocabulary influenced by the hybrid of Filipino and Western folktales of Santos’ early youth, the Canadian pop culture of the late 80’s and early 90’s, the science and social politics of that period, and the Canadian geography and landscape.
Wood Woodn’t: Slate Fine Art Gallery, 3424 13th Ave. Runs until Nov. 30. New works by Michael Hosaluk at Slate Fine Art Gallery.
