Weyburn Arts Council

Organized by Moose Jaw Museum & Art Gallery; Touring Saskatchewan through the Organization of Saskatchewan Arts Councils; Curated by Jennifer McRorie The exhibition, Storied Telling, features photographic works by Canadian artists, whose images present as lens-based performance. The photographs reflect a performative nature, taken as video stills or documentation of performance art or presented as elaborate figurative compositions within settings that border on the fantastical or are imagined recreations of historic scenarios. In their adornment and positioning within their environments, the subjects of the photographs become powerfully iconographic. The resulting images are rife with story, reflecting diverse narratives that are poetic, political, surreal, spiritual, or perhaps even mythic; stories that inform and speak to cultural and diaspora identities that are constantly producing and reproducing themselves anew through transformation and difference.Organized by Moose Jaw Museum & Art Gallery; Touring Saskatchewan through the Organization of Saskatchewan Arts Councils; Curated by Jennifer McRorie The exhibition, Storied Telling, features photographic works by Canadian artists, whose images present as lens-based performance.
