We are thrilled to announce Kenderdine Art Gallery artist-in-residence for Spring 2021, Jude Griebel! Details below. JUDE GRIEBEL Illuminated Collapse KENDERDINE ART GALLERY... Artist-In-Residence // May 3 - May 27, 2021 Exhibition // May 28, 2021 - August 21, 2021 The exhibition Jude Griebel: Illuminated Collapse presents a series of six detailed dioramas merging figure and ground to highlight human connection to the surrounding world. In these sculptures, unsettling scenes unfold on the surface of circular bases. Anatomies/landscapes are engaged in dramatic acts of self-consumption and destruction, projecting a metaphorical "End of Times" narrative. Mirroring our own world through their miniature elements, the works reflect on contemporary consumption, industrial development, and inherent environmental degradation. Griebel's artworks combine scientific reality with fantasy and diverse cultural references, using personal symbolism and metaphor to register the concept of planetary collapse. Jude Griebel (Canadian) is a New York-based figurative sculptor, currently the Artist in Residence at Pioneer Works, Brooklyn, USA until March, 2021. Griebel has completed numerous residencies including The Studios of MASS MoCA, North Adams and HALLE 14, Leipzig. Griebel holds an MFA in Sculpture and Ceramics, Concordia University, Canada. Completed an MFA International Exchange, University of Lapland, Finland, and holds a BFA, Emily Carr University of Art and Design, Vancouver, Canada. curator, Leah Taylor Image 1: Jude Griebel, Procession, 21" x 47" x 34".

reminder, tomorrow ! DYLAN ROBINSON thá:ytset: shxwelí li te shxwelítemelh xíts'etáwtxw / Reparative Aesthetics: The Museum’s Incarceration of Indigenous Life... March 5, 2021, 2pm - 3:30pm Across the globe, museums filled with glass and plexiglass vitrines display collections of Indigenous belongings. These cases render the life they contain into objects of display, things to be seen but not touched. Alongside the life of ancestors who take material form, thousands of Indigenous songs collected by ethnographers on wax cylinder recordings, reel-to-reel tape and electronic formats are similarly confined in museums. These songs also hold life, but of different kinds to that of their material cousins. For Indigenous people, experiencing these systems of display and storage are often traumatic because of the ways in which they maintain the separation of kinship at the heart of settler colonialism. To re-assess the role of the museum as a place that confines life is to put into question the museum’s relationship to incarceration. If the museum is a carceral space, how then might we define repatriation in relation to practices of re-entry and the reconnection of kinship? In what ways might the context of prison abolition apply to the museum? These questions, among others, are increasingly been focalized through the reparative aesthetics of Indigenous artists. Dylan Robinson is a xwélmexw (Stó:l/Skwah) artist and writer, and the Canada Research Chair in Indigenous Arts at Queen’s University. He is the author of Hungry Listening (University of Minnesota Press, 2020) on Indigenous and settler colonial forms of listening. His current research focuses on the material and sonic life of Indigenous ancestors held by museums, and reparative artistic practices that address these ancestors incarceration in museums.
