SUMMARY:Sarah Ciurysek: Through\, and through
DESCRIPTION:PLATFORM is thrilled to present a solo exhibition by Sarah Ciurysek (MB) of new stained glass\, sculptural\, and photographic works. Dominated by a large glass installation\, activated by shifting light\, Through\, and through offers layered metaphors of passage\, boundary\, and reprieve. \nPlease join us at the opening reception on 12 September from 7PM – 9PM. \nEXHIBITION | 12 September – 15 November\, 2025\nOPENING RECEPTION | 12 September\, 7PM – 9PM\nWORKSHOP | 18 October\, 1PM – 4PM at MAWA in partnership with @MAWA \nWalking through a forest\, at times with a clear path\, at times blocked by undergrowth; moving branches aside to try to go further. Light travelling through coloured glass; light stopping at the edge of a dark opacity. A window grille; a chain link fence. A housing\, a boundary\, a porous shelter. \nThe stained glass artwork\, sculpture\, and photography presented in Through\, and through highlight notions of passage\, blockage\, and movement: what passes through\, what is not able to pass through. \nThe main gallery is dominated by a large glass installation that is activated by light\, which in turn fills the surrounding space. Indeed\, light is at the centre of this exhibition\, both physically and conceptually: the dappled light of forests\, the pre-digital glowing screens of stained glass\, projected and cast light. Light’s restoration of life\, magic\, and optimism. \nSmaller pieces throughout both galleries act as architectural ciphers. At times structural\, at times decorative\, these objects are ambiguous: a glass lattice could be a garden support\, it could be a dividing line. Through\, and through offers shifting\, overlapping metaphors: idyllic reverie\, reprieve\, entanglement in the woods\, looking for a way out. \nBIOGRAPHY\nSarah Ciurysek (MB) (she/her) is a Canadian settler artist exploring the relationships we have with the ground. Most often\, soil\, roots\, and branches figure prominently in large-scale photo installations\, though Sarah’s photo practice intersects more broadly with audio\, film and video\, and most recently\, glass. \nSarah’s artworks have been exhibited across Canada\, in the US\, UK\, Austria\, and in South Africa\, and she has completed residencies nationally and internationally at Radar and the Centre for Contemporary Art and the Natural World (both England)\, Textílsetur Íslands (Iceland)\, and MASEREEL (Belgium). Sarah grew up in northern Alberta in Treaty 8 territory\, where she is researching decolonizing land use options as part of a long-term SSHRC research/creation project. She lives in Treaty 1 Territory in Winnipeg\, where she is an Associate Professor at the School of Art\, University of Manitoba.

SUMMARY:Solo Exhibition by Katharine Bruce: Prayers and Secrets at Soul Gallery
DESCRIPTION:Soul Gallery is pleased to present Prayers and Secrets\, a solo exhibition by Katharine Bruce\, from September 18 – October 3\, 2025.\nOpening reception to be held September 18\, 2025\, from 6 – 9 pm\, and will feature live music and refreshments. \nArtist Statement:\nLIFE. Breathing. Sitting quietly. Riding my bicycle. Communing with animals. Listening.\nAll of these things and so much more are the inspiration that moves me to create. \nDaily I go into my studio with an open heart\, a willingness to explore my medium\, and trust what flows through my body. What comes is a line\, a choosing of a colour\, a brushstroke. It’s all magic to me. My job is to step out of the way. Slowly\, with patience\, layer upon layer\, something begins to appear. What you see here are the results of this process during the past year. I hope you can feel\, resonate and enjoy the work. \nMy work changes from year to year\, as do I because I am always asking: what is life.

SUMMARY:VP: Temporal Landscapes - Video Commission Residency 2025 Presentation
DESCRIPTION:Video Pool Media Arts Centre is excited to announce an A/V presentation of three new video artworks created by the recipients of the Video Commission Residency for 2025! \nEvent Details:\nOpening: Friday\, September 19 | 7:00 – 10 PM (One Night only)\nLocation: Poolside Gallery \nVCR is a residency for the creation and exploration of experimental screen-based work. Featuring new work by Zoë LeBrun\, Ryan Hill & B.G-Osborne\, please join us for the premiere of these gorgeous new works. NOTE: The gallery installation/presentation will show the work in a unique way with the artists present. \nGallery Presentation is ONE NIGHT ONLY! \nNocturne – Zoë LeBrun\nUtilizing the ‘glitch’ as a portal into hidden worlds\, Nocturne explores the metaphors of nothingness embedded in darkness. It suggests that the indeterminate qualities of the unknown can provide revelations of wonder rather than existential dread\, and that we can move through the unknown while also carrying it with us. \nComputer-Assisted Simulation Technology for Optimizing Rivers – Ryan Hill\n“Computer-Assisted Simulation Technology for Optimizing Rivers” is about beavers managing the water and other resources in a location in southern Manitoba where two rivers connect. Through the construction of dams and lodges\, the landscape is transformed into one of greater productive value. \nPeripheral vision – BG Osborne\nPeripheral vision is an experiment with magnetic video recording and manipulation in order to promote media degradation/loss of information as signals are repeatedly translated between analog and digital. Through a transsexual and neurodivergent lens\, the artist explores the interplay between optic and social aberrations and expresses their anxieties about the alarming rise of surveillance and fascism in so-called canada.
