Artist: Lauren Crazybull
Curator: Josephine Mills
Snacks & Refreshments: Friday, October 4, 3 – 5 pm
In Untelling, Lauren Crazybull engages with Nicholas de Grandmaison’s artworks from the University of Lethbridge Art Collection. In a new body of work, Crazybull uses portraiture to capture moments of contemporary Blackfoot life. This exhibition invites viewers to consider the layers within portraiture and the artist-muse relationship. Using painting and photography, Crazybull explores the potential that lives within the undrawn, unpainted, and unfinished spaces suggesting that these voids hold possibilities for new narratives.
Organizer
Located on Treaty 7 territory, the traditional land of Niitsitapi (Blackfoot Confederacy), the University of Lethbridge Art Gallery is an accessible space that fosters visibility to the arts through diverse community engagement, supported by sustainable infrastructure, and founded on relationships, consultation, and education. The University of Lethbridge Art Gallery wants to be the most accessible art gallery in Canada. We want to make a difference in people’s lives by providing access for a diversity of people to the art that we house in our collection and that we display. We embrace the Blackfoot teaching that those with knowledge have a responsibility to care for and to share that knowledge.
