The Estevan Art Gallery and Museum (EAGM) has announced a change in the date for the opening night reception of its next exhibit.
Originally scheduled to be held on April 12, this reception will now be May 3 at 7 p.m. This event is free to attend and all ages are welcome. Artist Terri Fidelak will be in attendance.
The EAGM will have two new shows that will be featured at this opening. They are The Quality of your Involvement will be the Measure of your Reward by Fidelak; and I do not have my Words by Joi T. Arcand, Catherine Blackburn and Audrey Dreaver.
The two exhibits will be at the EAGM from April 12-June 14.
Terri Fidelak is an intermedia artist currently in Regina. Alongside her studio practice, she is an artistic associate with Curtain Razors Theatre and one half of Ghost & Thing with Amber Phelps Bondaroff.
“This sculptural installation relies on objects that are often overlooked,” she said in an artist’s statement. “These things have been cast aside, unrecognized for their worth: crêpe paper from long-forgotten parties, empty makeup compacts, puzzles with missing pieces, bright pipe cleaners and pretty stones.
“Fidelak has scavenged and arranged these parts, combining them with hand-sculpted components to activate their nebulous histories. In doing so, she contemplates community, the small details that pervade our lives, and how what we value shapes our memories.”
The other exhibit, I do not have my Words, features printmaking, photography, sculpture and beaded mixed media works by the three artists, who are Indigenous and from Saskatchewan.
Each artist’s body of works explore language loss and considers how language is connected to one’s cultural identity. It was curated and organized by the Moose Jaw Museum and Art Gallery.
