in-between-in-between Opens @ Katzman Contemporary
Katzman Contemporary’s latest exhibition – in-between-in-between – celebrates the correlations between dance and visual gesture; in particular, the physicality of the body in the generation of graphic imagery. For her premiere showing in Toronto, Vancouver based artist Lyse Lemieux shares a recent overview of her whimsical, bodily drawings, works on paper, and wall installations that consider the process and materiality of her practice. As a precursor to her upcoming shows of new work, Meryl McMaster presents six rare outtakes from the original performances that comprise her In-Between Worlds series, offering alternate poses and close-ups of her choreographed gestures. Contextualized together, the works of both artists underscore the relationship of the body in the creation of visual spaces.
EXHIBITION DATES: February 28 to March 21, 2015
OPENING RECEPTION: Saturday, February 28 from 2 – 5 p
Lyse Lemieux will be present. Attendees are invited to stay at the gallery after the official opening for an informal dinner with Lyse Lemieux and her partner Al McWilliams.
