Gallery 1C03 at The University of Winnipeg is pleased to invite you to the opening of Boys Club, a group exhibition of artworks from the University’s collection that explores representations of masculinity. Boys Club features paintings, drawings, prints and photographs by Canadian artists David Barbour, H. Eric Bergman, Kelly Clark, Ivan Eyre, E. J. (Ted) Howorth, Yousuf Karsh, Gerry Kopelow, Bill Lobchuk, Tom Lovatt, Murray McKenzie, Tony Tascona, Patrick Treacy, Linus Woods and others. Boys Club is organized as part of Artsfest 2013 – UWinnipeg Cultural Treasures, a campus wide celebration of arts and culture that runs September 27 – October 4, 2013.

With their images ranging from the 1930s to the most recent decade, several of the artists in Boys Club offer a means to consider diverse interpretations of the male figure.  Captivating portraits that show subjects singly and in groups, metaphorical personages, and collaged compositions that deal with the construction of identity via fragments of memory, history and popular culture will be on display.

The exhibition also considers the significant impact that male-centred collectives of the 1960s and 1970s have had on the local art scene and includes examples of the mid-20th century modernist aesthetic that was embraced by several prominent Manitoba male artists.

A panel discussion related to the exhibition moderated by Boys Club curator Jennifer Gibson and featuring speakers Dr. Bruno Cornellier, Bill Kirby and Kegan McFadden will take place on Friday, October 25 at 12:30 p.m. in room 2M70 (2nd floor of Manitoba Hall) at The University of Winnipeg.

TOMORROW: Storytime launch

Join Gallery 1C03 at McNally Robinson Grant Park tomorrow night at 7:00 p.m. for the launch of Storytime. Above is the front cover of the publication. It doesn't give much away so you'll have to drop by to see the goods in person, not to mention take in a performative reading by "Uncle Glennie" himself. See you there!

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.
