“Exploring tandem inadequacies”
Art NOW featuring katie marie bruce (BFA - Art '11)
January 31 | Noon | University Recital Hall
Free admission, everyone welcome
Alumna katie marie bruce speaks about her project for the Southern Alberta Art Gallery, tandem inadequacies while finding unconscious threads that have run throughout the last 10 years of her practice. Working with common vernacular and seeking alternative expressions, tandem inadequacies explores the unique language of grief and the often deficient nature of consolation.
katie marie bruce is an artist and printmaker, living and making work on Treaty 7 Territory in Sikóóhkotok, also known as Lethbridge, Alberta. She received an MFA from York University in 2015, where her thesis work was funded by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada. While her practice is rooted in print media—actively invested in considering multiplicity as both motivation and manner of interrogation—the work is expansive and interdisciplinary in its articulations. Her practice has been supported by the Alberta Foundation for the Arts and presented in solo, two-person, and group exhibitions nationally and internationally. katie is currently an instructor at the University of Lethbridge in the Faculty of Fine Arts, Art Department.
