Trap\door artist-run centre is pleased to be hosting this year's annual exhibition from Oct. 17 -24. It features the exhibition and participatory art-works of Montreal based artist Marie-Lyne Quirion.
As a large segment of her work will be based on interacting with the Lethbridge public, we hope we can reach as many people to interact and participate in this exhibition. We will be featuring planned times and locations to meet and engage with Marie-Lyne (information will be on the website). We will be hosting an event, where we hope most people can attend.
It will occur at the NAAG (255 12 C St. N) on Thursday evening, Oct. 20, from 7-11 p.m. There is also an exhibition of printed works which will be at the Blueprint Gallery (519 4 Ave S), and an online element which will exhibit, but also provide information for people to know what to expect when choosing to participate in her works. The website is controlloss.ca.
“The artistic genre that particularly interests me within the field of photography is portraiture. My work focuses on the relationship of self-representation and the dual challenge of, on one hand, self-image projection, and on the other, the resulting perception,” she writes in her artist statement.
