MIND THE GAP!
JANUARY 26 TO MARCH18, 2012
MIND THE GAP! celebrates, with resounding exuberance, the wealth of talent amongst the diverse population of emerging artists in the province of Saskatchewan. The title, of course, refers to the often misguided term that Saskatchewan has recently come to be saddles with - that is, Saskatchewan being the gap in Canada s consciousness and geo-cultural landscape. A multitude of media is represented, ranging from contemporary drawing, collage, comics, painting, sculpture, carving, photography, video, installation, performance art and more. This exhibition features four Moose Jaw-based artists Jenn McRorie, Rob Froese, and Gabriela Garcia-Luna. The exhibition was organized by the Dunlop Art Gallery.
ZOTZ* COLLECTIVE
JANUARY 26 TO MARCH18, 2012
ZOTZ* COLLECTIVE was formed in Toronto in 2004, by three artists with Latin American backgrounds. They meet weekly to collaborate on multi-media works, which include drawing, painting, collage, sculpture and site specific drawing installations. Zotz* images explore issues of immigrant experience related to themes of transition, displacement, and urban life. Their art relates stories where hybrid beasts and wild characters inhabit odd and imaginary lands. This quirky and often outrageous work reflects a combined sense of humour that fills their drawings with endless laughter and fun.
