Photos from The Pinky Show: Class Treason Stories (excerpts)

We would like to send a shout out and thanks to everyone who joined us to celebrate the launch of The Pinky Show's exhibit at Gallery 1C03, The Pinky Show: Class Treason Stories (excerpts). Thanks also to all who came out for the talks that followed, both at the University of Winnipeg and aceartinc. The reception and artist talks were very well attended, and we were thrilled by some of the 'critical discourse'-oriented conversations that were spurred by the exhibit.
One of our visiting Human Representatives of the Pinky Show gave an excellent structuralist analysis of the education system, in a discussion prompted by some of Pinky's thoughts on the subject from the Pinky Show video "Scary School Nightmare." This video, as well as numerous other Pinky vids can be viewed at : www.PinkyShow.org.

Please find below some photos taken at the opening reception, and at the artist's talk at the University of Winnipeg.

A full selection of photos is available via our Facebook page, which is open to all comers :)

Just 2 more days to see Ken Gregory's "wind coil sound flow"

If you haven't seen Ken Gregory's latest exhibition "wind coil sound flow" yet, it's only on display until 4 pm tomorrow at Gallery 1C03, so hurry up and come on down!
Check out what Uptown magazine's art reviewer Sandee Moore had to say about the show here: http://www.uptownmag.com/2009-10-15/page4703.aspx

Gallery 1C03 has been busy with some outreach programming lately.
For the past 3 Wednesday mornings, our Art Educator Amber Schellenberg has led grade 7 art classes from École River Heights School in tours related to "wind coil sound flow". After a discussion of Ken's piece, the students proceeded to reuse discarded plastic bags and turn them into working kites which they then flew on the front lawn of The University of Winnipeg. We're hoping to post some pictures of this program soon!
Meanwhile, we're working on a fun program related to our next exhibit "The Pinky Show: Class Treason Stories (excerpts)". If you're a teacher and you're interested in bringing your students to Gallery 1C03 for a FREE educational program, please contact us!
