About the Exhibition:
Leesa Streifler: The Performance of Beingpresents a retrospective survey of the work of one of Canada’s leading feminist artists over the course of her 40-year career. The exhibition explores Streifler’s sustained interest in the representation, performance and politics of “Othered”, marginalized, and non-conforming bodies.

About the Dance Performance:
Join us in experiencing an interpretation of Leesa Striefler’s work in contemporary dance by Anastasia Evsigneeva, a multifaceted contemporary artist, dancer, and circus performer. In 2019, she earned her BA Honors in Dance from the Professional Program at the School of Contemporary Dancers in Winnipeg. Since June 2020, Anastasia has thrived under the artistic mentorship of Robin Poitras and Edward Poitras through New Dance Horizons’ (NDH), Artist in Residency Program. This transformative experience has deeply enriched Anastasia’s artistic perspective, enhancing her understanding of creation, performance, production, and presentation.

Join the MJMAG for our Opening Reception & Artist Talk with Jude Griebel! His exhibition titled Illuminated Collapse will be on display from February 2 – May 5, 2024. This Opening Reception & Artist Talk will take place on February 2nd at 7:30 pm; Doors open at 7:00 pm

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.

November 19, 2022 - January 8, 2023
