Iron wheelbarrows as delicate as lace. Silver wire soldered into fragile containers. Precise: Craft Refined, opening at the Winnipeg Art Gallery on September 10, redefines the meaning of “craft.” Five contemporary artists integrate beads, fibres, clay, silver, and industrial metals into stunning works of art. There will be a free public opening at 7 p.m., Saturday, October 1 as part of Nuit Blanche, an all-night celebration of the arts running from 6 p.m., Saturday, October 1 to 6 a.m., Sunday, October 2.
The work in this exhibition is provocative, visually accessible, instinctively engaging, and aesthetically rewarding. It aims to surprise, to awe, and to expand visitors’ interpretation of craft as it is practiced in the 21 Century. The exhibition continues until January 15.
For more information on the exhibit and related programs, including art workshops and artist talks, to go www.wag.ca.
