This 50 min. program is the first-ever Manitoba retrospective for Supnet\, a Winnipeg Filipinx animator and one of Manitoba’s most accomplished filmmakers\, whose work has been selected by some of the most prestigious film festivals in the world\, including Toronto International Film Festival\, International Film Festival Rotterdam\, and the Flaherty NYC. Reception to follow in Artspace lobby for all ticket holders. \nInterdisciplinary performances by Anto(n) Astudillo and Freya Björg Olafson:\nTRANS THE MIRROR (2024)\,Canadian Premiere.A 20-minute performance by Brooklyn based Latinx artist and curator Anto(n) Astudillo\, on what it feels like to inhabit a trans/queer body in a world that has rendered their bodies as vulnerable. \nMÆ – Motion Aftereffect by Winnipeg’s own Freya Björg Olafson (20 min\, 2019) are digital collages of motion-capture data (both found online and uniquely generated); ready-made and custom 3D models alongside varied internet-sourced monologues. \nI Use to Live There (14 mins\, 2023)\, by Winnipeg-born\, Montreal-based\, Ryan McKenna\, Manitoba premiere. Blending documentary-style filmmaking with fictional elements\, the film stars Daniel Gerson and Monika Schneider as semi-fictionalized versions of themselves\, and focuses on the relationship between a photographer who is losing his vision due to a degenerative eye disease and the actress who hired him to take her new headshots. The film was selected as part of the TIFF’s 2023 Canada’s TOP TEN list\, and screened at Locarno International Film Festival\, Festival du Nouveau Cinéma\, and DOXA (among others)\nTerra Long’s’ feature documentary Feet in Water\, Head on Fire (90 mins\, 2023)\, Prairie Region premiere. An invisible line connects California to parts of the Middle East and North Africa\, where similar climates provide ideal growing conditions for date palm trees. Using textural 16mm\, Long surveys the arid California landscape along the San Andreas Fault—from microscopic plant cells to macroscopic pans of the golden mountains—and zooms in on the lives of those whose livelihoods are dependent on the trees’ sweet fruits and the exoticism they lend the region. Programmed by Jaimz Asmundson\, WNDX Festival Producer and Board Member\, for over a decade\, until his untimely death in early 2024. \nwndrland (50 min)\, 15 films from Ontario\, Manitoba\, Saskatchewan\, Quebec\, Yukon\, BC\, Germany\, Switzerland\, Brazil\, Italy/Netherlands\, and Argentina.

SUMMARY:First Fridays Art Talk: Art in Set Design\, with Set Designer Brian Perchaluk and  Royal MTC’s Artistic Director Kelly Thornton
DESCRIPTION:Theatre set design creates a believable world for the audience to sink into\, engaging with the story\, characters\, and mood. The styles mirror familiar art movements such as Realism\, Impressionism and Minimalism. Expressionism\, in set design\, emphasizes the emotional experience of characters over a realistic depiction of their surrounding. The stage’s physical environment\, often altered or distorted\, uses lines and shapes such as uneven floors\, slanting walls\, or elongated forms to create a deep\, gut-level experience for the audience\, digging into the complexities of the human spirit and life. Moderator Susan Freig’s conversation with Brian Perchaluk and Kelly Thornton will explore the connection between art and set design\, and will go “behind the scenes” about the relationship between set designs\, director’s vision\, and production.

SUMMARY:The Play That Goes Wrong
DESCRIPTION:“It would be very wrong to miss this laugh-a-thon” – Calgary Herald\n“An absolute blast…pure comedy gold” – Edmonton Journal \nDespite their spotty track record\, the Cornley Drama Society has high hopes for their new play The Murder at Haversham Manor. Who doesn’t love a 1920s murder mystery set at a grand manor? \nBut if you believe this show will go off without a hitch\, you’d be dead wrong. Thwarted by missing props\, a malfunctioning set and dubious acting choices\, this ill-fated production unravels at an alarming rate. By the end of the play\, solving a murder is the least of everyone’s worries. The Play That Goes Wrong is the right choice if you’re looking for a hilarious night out!

SUMMARY:The Ghosts We Create\, Anja Studer
DESCRIPTION:This newest series of work titled “the ghosts we create” was born in the summer of 2023 at the Venezia Contemporanea Residencies Program in Venice\, Italy. The series features mixed media paintings and papercuts inspired by wildlife and the pressing environmental challenges they face\, causing their numbers to diminish until they vanish. \nThe mixed media paintings feature abstract watercolor washes that loosely evoke landscapes\, playing with the dynamic between nature and emotion. The color washes are enriched with details in ink\, acrylics\, 24k gold and graphite. Each artwork includes a wildlife illustration in graphite. Opting for graphite instead of her usual medium of black ink emphasizes the fragility of our ecosystem and underscores the threat of wildlife extinction due to habitat loss\, exploitation and pollution. The wildlife illustrations consist of simple line drawings and geometric patterns inspired by folk art from all over the world\, and in particular Swiss papercuts. \nFor the first time the Swiss artist is unveiling a limited edition of papercuts as a homage to this old Swiss tradition. The artist has had a love for traditional Swiss papercuts ever since her childhood and her illustrations have long been inspired by this artform and were translated to ink. A workshop in Switzerland in 2018 gave her the needed confidence to explore papercutting within her art practice. Anja’s delicate papercuts depict wildlife in her distinctive graphic style using patterns. The patterns unravel into lines of paper\, echoing the message of wildlife being in danger of becoming extinct and disappearing in front of our eyes. \nThe artist continues to use her work to raise awareness about climate change\, urging action to protect our wildlife before more and more species vanish\, becoming ghosts of the past. \nAnja will be donating 10% of sales from this exhibition to the Manitoba-based Wildlife Haven Rehabilitation Centre. Wildlife Haven’s main goal is to treat injured and orphaned wildlife and to successfully release them back into their natural habitat.

SUMMARY:Brianna Wentz | Warpaint
DESCRIPTION:Brianna Wentz | Warpaint\nOctober 31 – December 14\, 2024\nVagina Witchcraft Performance: Thursday\, October 31st from 7:00-10:00pm\nOpening Reception: Friday\, November 1st from 5-9 pm\nArtist Talk and Livestream: Saturday\, November 2nd from 1-2 pm \nA symbol of sex\, controversy\, and rock n’ roll—excessive\, depraved\, and worshipped without restraint—the Demon embodies every freedom and whim denied to women and gender-diverse people. Warpaint releases the demon in the metalhead fangirl\, who is no longer a passive fan\, but a rockstar in their own right. Rather than being possessed by the music\, alluding to religious ecstasy and demonic possession\, the fan becomes the demon themselves\, challenging oppression and normativity in the scene.\nThis shift speaks to a deeper issue faced by Indigenous\, Black\, and other racialized people—the constant expectation to be strong and resilient. We are told we are resilient\, but why should we always have to be? Centuries of intergenerational trauma\, compounded by everyday racism and sexism\, demand a space where sorrow\, fear\, desire\, and rage can be unleashed. Enter metal\, punk\, and rock n’ roll.\nThese spaces provide an outlet for BIPOC and queer metalheads to build community and reclaim their identities. By honoring punk values\, kinship is cultivated\, because the mere presence of racialized and gender-diverse people in these scenes—and their very existence in a post-colonial society—is metal as fuck. Warpaint depicts these kin in all their unleashed deadliness.\nYet\, racialized women and non-binary people remain underrepresented in metal. Few figures exist in these scenes with whom they can identify. There continues to be undercurrents of white supremacy\, sexism\, and homophobia in factions of metal and punk. Black Metal\, known for its iconic corpse paint\, has been shaped by musicians who openly supported white supremacist ideologies and homophobic hate crimes. These works seek to confront and dismantle such ideologies by depicting the power of the bodies and spirits they seek to destroy.\nThrough this process\, the works in Warpaint empower them to ‘be their own heroes.’ As Leila Taylor writes in Darkly\, “the process of dehumanization is a process of monster-making. But monsters have power.” Being cast as the outsider has created a strength to confront\, reclaim\, and reshape metal by by embracing a raw\, deadly\, and unapologetically defiant spirit—showing that women\, non-binary\, and BIPOC voices lead the scene.

SUMMARY:Kakanacisitacahk: Drumming Our Houses Home
DESCRIPTION:The exhibit brings to light our ongoing efforts to create sustainable\, community-friendly housing that incorporates energy solutions such as solar and wind. It also amplifies awareness of the housing crisis and the disproportional impacts for youth\, 2-Spirit\, and queer individuals within First Nations communities while tracing the historical and ongoing impacts of colonial policies that continue to shape housing conditions today. This exhibit is an opportunity to teach\, learn and grow together as we examine critical issues related to sustainable\, community-driven housing solutions. \nMade possible through the collaboration of our partners: the University of Manitoba\, the University of Saskatchewan\, and Nutana Collegiate’s Industry and Career Education (N.I.C.E.) program\, alongside Making the Shift. Together\, we strive to foster a deeper understanding of housing solutions and promote sustainable\, community-friendly housing projects.

With societal pressures to get married\, Jo tries to forge her way as a young writer with bigger dreams. While Marmee bestows the virtue of self-sacrifice on her daughters\, Jo\, Meg\, Beth and Amy must learn to navigate the complicated and exciting world of adulthood. \nFilled with adventure\, heartbreak and a deep sense of hope\, the struggle of these “Little Women” has inspired generations of independent young women to trust their voice in a world trying to shape them. With buoyant and memorable characters\, this timeless classic is a perfect tale for the holiday season.

SUMMARY:Full Circle
DESCRIPTION:Artists: Dave Colvin & Leon Pewarchuk \nNovember 28 to December 17\, 2024 \nGallery Hours: Tuesday to Saturday\, 11am to 5pm. Evenings by appointment. \nFirst Friday\, extended hours\, December 6\, 11am to 9pm\, both artists in attendance both days. \nMeet the Artist times: Leon: Thursday\, Nov. 28\, 29\, 30; Tuesday Dec. 3\, 5\, 6\, 7\, Wednesday Dec. 11\, 13\, 14\, Tuesday Dec. 17. \nDave: Thursday\, Nov 28\, 29\, 30; Wednesday Dec. 4\, 6\, 7\, 10\, Thursday Dec. 12\, 13\, 14 & Tuesday\, Dec. 17 \nDeveloping from an unexpected reunion after 45 years without contact\, an art teacher and his student have come together for a joint exhibition. This unique showcase\, not only highlights their individual talents but also celebrates the enduring bond of friendship\, shared creativity\, and the power of reconnection. \nWith a degree in Fine Arts from the University of Manitoba\, Leon Pewarchuk became a teacher of Art\, Advertising Art and Graphic Design. In his 25 years of retirement\, he returned to painting with oil on canvas for his own pleasure\, inspired by his years at the cottage in Northwestern Ontario and his love of the outdoors. \nThrough his paintings\, he expresses his creativity with vibrant\, colourful landscapes drawn from his imagination and his real life visual experiences. The resulting work is both evocative and compelling. \nDave Colvin is an inveterate people-watcher. \nHis fascination with aspects of the human condition has been a constant throughout his life… as an artist\, playwright\, parent\, husband\, and clinician. \nAlthough geared toward a future in visual communications and illustration art\, his life took a decidedly different trajectory after high school\, which ultimately led to a long and satisfying career in the behavioral health field. As such\, he chooses to reflect human emotion through his artwork. \nFleshing out these emotional memories are key to the examination of Colvin’s art. \nGiven that yearning is said to be a blend of the primary emotions of love and sadness\, this is no small task. \nDave draws inspiration from the Early Netherlandish painting schools\, and creative sources as diverse as the outsider work of Henry Darger. The narrative compositions of Jessie Oonark\, Pieter Bruegel\, and the single-panel\, darkly comedic cartoons of Gahan Wilson. \nHis quasi-realistic pieces are also driven by dreams\, psychedelia\, and too many hours poring over Graphis magazines in Commercial Art class. \nColvin’s commission works hang in private collections across North America and the UK. He has also been short-listed multiple times in the Manitoba Society of Artists open juried competitions. \nCurrently\, atypical watercolour is his go-to\, but any combination of water-soluble media including acrylic\, acrylic pen\, India ink\, and gouache is fair game. \nDavid Colvin’s ARTIST STATEMENT \nAlthough my work is primarily representational and features hints of the surreal\, at the centre of all that I try to accomplish artistically\, is to evoke a measure of personal identification in the viewer.\nMy pieces are presented with buried narratives; unclear stories that will often be translated differently by each individual.\nI try to accomplish this by introducing dichotomies and visual metaphors\, such as holy men reveling while basilicas burn\, curling rocks made from jam cans\, errant tricycles lodged in tree canopies\, and tumbling umbrellas that twist through wind-whipped skies above darkened neighborhoods.\nThrough this exhibit\, it is my goal to evoke the emotional memories of those who see my work\, and to challenge them to look more carefully at their own worlds.
