SUMMARY:Respondent Series | An Artist Talk by Lori Blondeau
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for a talk by cherished artist\, Lori Blondeau on Thursday\, November 16 at 7pm. In conjunction with our current exhibition Entering the Landscape\, we present this talk by an artist known for her astute use of pop cultural aesthetics paired with searing political commentary and cultural parody. \nAs a prominent artist\, and founding member of the collective TRIBE\, Blondeau’s impact on the artistic production and discourse in Canada is enduring. This talk will offer an in depth look at her work\, which often looks at the influence of popular media and culture on Indigenous self-identity\, self-image\, and self-definition. \nBlondeau’s work focuses on the impact of colonization on Indigenous women. The Lonely Surfer Squaw\, currently on display for Entering the Landscape\, is part of a larger body of work that deconstructs racist pop-cultural images – specifically the ‘Indian princess’ and ‘Squaw’. To this end\, Blondeau creates absurd hybrid characters placed in classic poses\, referencing mainstream pin-up or cover girls. This work interrupts the constructed stereotype of Indigenous women and refers to the damages of colonialism and the ironic pleasures of displacement and resistance. \nLori Blondeau is an interdisciplinary artist working primarily in performance and photography. She is Cree/Saulteaux/Metis from Saskatchewan\, her mother is Cree/Saulteaux from George Gordon First Nation\, located in Treaty 4\, and her late father was Metis from Lebret\, Saskatchewan. Blondeau holds an MFA from the University of Saskatchewan. In addition to her extensive exhibition history\, Blondeau is co-founder of the Indigenous artist collective\, TRIBE\, and has sat on the Advisory Panel for Visual Arts for the Canada Council for the Arts. Blondeau has exhibited and performed nationally and internationally including the Banff Centre; Mendel Art Gallery\, Saskatoon; Open Space\, Victoria; FOFA\, Montreal. In 2007\, Blondeau was part of the Requickening project with artist Shelly Niro at the Venice Biennale and recently had a solo exhibition at Urban Shaman Contemporary Aboriginal Art Gallery\, Winnipeg. \n\nThis talk is programmed in conjunction with Entering the Landscape (October 1 to December 31\, 2017)  \nPia Arke • Laakkuluk Williamson Bathory  • Jaime Black • Lori Blondeau • A.K.

SUMMARY:Screening of After Birth\, 2017 by The Ephemerals  with discussion moderated by Jenifer Papararo
DESCRIPTION:November 23\, 2017\n\nPlug In ICA | 460 Portage Ave\, Winnipeg MB\n\n\nAs part of the exhibition Entering the Landscape\, Plug In ICA presents After Birth\, an inter-generational journey to return to a ceremonial custom of burying the ‘after birth.’ Elder Mary Courchene narrates in Anishnaabegmowin the meaning of this gesture\, to create a way of the good life for the next generation and to give back to the earth what was created in order to give life. Together these women and their kids walk the land and affirm their intergenerational knowledge and active presence in ancestral memories and matrilineal leadership. This new video work is just over five minutes long and will be followed by a moderated discussion concerning the artists’ process\, collaboration\, and the exhibition thematic of gendered bodies in the land. \nThe Ephemerals are a collective of Indigenous women\, Jaimie Isaac\, Niki Little and Jenny Western. They are interested in curatorial practice and creative based research in film and performance. The collective was established to function as an outlet to foster and motivate artistic production both within their individual practices as well as to engage collaborative projects that revolve around Indigenous contemporary art. Our focus is on Indigenous culture with a political and social context responding to contemporary issues. They draw inspiration from our combined curatorial multidisciplinary art practices\, family and mixed cultural backgrounds. The collective’s projects are fueled by collaborative interventions and ephemeral affairs in order to push the boundaries of perceived Indigeneity. They have exhibited at 1C03\, Winnipeg; ImageNATIVE\, Toronto; the Art Gallery of the University of Manitoba\, and Plug In ICA. Their work has been featured in an issue of Parameter Press\, Winnipeg and were longlisted for the Sobey Art Awards. \n\nThis screening is part of the group exhibition Entering the Landscape(October 1 to December 31\, 2017)  \nPia Arke • Laakkuluk Williamson Bathory  • Jaime Black • Lori Blondeau • A.K.
