Gallery Series 258

Performance at Gallery Jones Fine Arts, March 4th, 2022

An evening of dance, film and visual art, curated by Rachel Maddock in conjunction with Gallery Jones / Fiona Ackerman’s show “Lizard Brains” (Feb 26 - March 26)

featuring work by local dance artists Deanna Peters/Mutable Subject, Oksana Augustine, Rachel Maddock and Caroline MacCaull, and a showing of a short film beguiling the land by Alberta-based Cree multidisciplinary artist Jessica McMann.

Curatorial statement:

"Fiona Ackerman writes, 'A painting creates a place for an idea and a feeling to inhabit. Painting is the practice of giving shape to a fog, like noise finding a beat.'

The body, like a painting, is a place for an idea or a feeling to inhabit. In the chaos and the void, we as dance artists inhabit the body, giving shape to intangible ideas, paving a way forward." — Rachel Maddock

Special thanks to Gallery Jones for hosting the event.
