SATURDAY SEPTEMBER 21, 1-4 / TALK AT 2
Join Calgary artist KARIN MCGINN & Glenbow Curator Kayleigh Hall
for a curator talk and tour of Karin’s current exhibition "Virgo’s Garden of Earlthly Delights."
An excerpt from Kayleigh’s essay “Freedom through Pleasure: Reviewing Karin McGinn’s Sizzling Solo Show.”
“This body of work demystifies the idea that feminist activism need be serious and tough, defined by its opposite. McGinn shows us that we are a combined energy, signaling concepts of Vesica Pisces from sacred geometry.
Virgo, our protagonist is illusive- she is not seen, only suggested. Could this be the dreamwork required to keep one’s sexual spirit activated? Does the artist suggest a happy ending for those who press pause on their creative paths?”
Pop by and take in what will sure to be an informative discussion on sexuality vs. feminism in art, amongst other curious themes in Karin’s work.
Karin McGinn is a multidisciplinary artist and curator. McGinn holds an MFA in Visual Arts from Emily Carr University and a BFA (with distinction) in Fibre from AUArts (formerly ACAD).
