Video & audio from previous public programs now on-line!

Triple Abzurbs Threat performance, September of 2010.

We're going to wrap up 2013 with some video and audio files from previous Gallery 1C03 programs. Back in September of 2010, the Gallery featured a solo exhibition called Pilgrims featuring paintings by Dominique Rey. To accompany the exhibition Dominique and her friends from Triple Abzurbs Threat carried out a live(ly) performance on the front lawn of The University of Winnipeg. Highlights from that performance, wherein they called for the public to try out to be part of their troupe, can be found here.

(Re)presenting Masculinities panelists Kegan McFadden, Bruno Cornellier & Bill Kirby, October, 2013.

Storytime publication launch

Gallery 1C03 is pleased to partner with McNally Robinson Booksellers to launch our newest publication Storytime: Glen Johnson and Leslie Supnet. The launch will take place at McNally Robinson Grant Park location on June 20 at 7:00 p.m. It will include a performative reading by Johnson.

This handsomely illustrated 60 page publication documents the works created by writer/performance artist Johnson and visual artist/animator Supnet for their Storytime exhibition at Gallery 1C03 last fall. It features Johnson and Supnet's paired stories and drawings that replicate children's-style books but with a subtly adult tone. Storytime also includes a critical essay by Tom Kohut which employs Gertrude Stein's unit of composition to consider the unexpected trajectories of Johnson and Supnet's work.
