that is a good question
Do you work with fiber artists
0:16
yes i’ve worked with fiber artists a lot
0:19
specifically in alberta i think that
0:21
there are tons of really really exciting
0:25
work happening right now
0:27
in weaving and also tufting that i’m
0:31
definitely paying attention to and
0:33
definitely thinking about for future
0:35
exhibitions for past exhibitions in the
0:38
scene
0:39
that just
0:40
closed we had kim mccollum she’s an
0:42
edmonton artist who works in weaving
0:45
and also yvonne mullick
0:47
did an exhibition called gift love
0:50
that was down in manning hall and those
0:52
were giant
0:54
gloves that she had made for the
0:56
exhibition
How do you get started in curation
0:59
um yeah to get started in curation i
1:02
would say just go for it i think a lot
1:05
of people think that you know curating
1:07
has to happen in a gallery or a museum
1:09
and it absolutely does not have to
1:12
it can happen anywhere so you know
1:14
whatever spare space you have even in
1:16
your apartment or your basement
1:19
or outside whatever you have just go for
1:22
it
What do you collect
1:25
um
1:26
yeah i i collect a lot of artworks um
1:30
mostly alberta
1:31
artists um i have a lot of things in my
1:34
collection a lot of alberta artworks
1:36
hanging in my home
Which object to explain humanity to aliens
1:42
right which object would i use to
1:44
explain humanity to aliens i
1:48
love this question i think it’s super
1:50
fascinating and super interesting and
1:52
really fun
1:53
to think about
1:55
um
1:56
you know when we’re often thinking about
1:58
artworks we’re thinking of them as so
2:00
tied to
2:01
an individual or tied to a culture or
2:04
tied to a place so it’s really kind of
2:06
interesting and kind of a challenge to
2:08
think of to look more broadly of of what
2:11
would we share to sort of define all of
2:13
us
2:14
um
2:16
one artwork um
2:17
that i actually showed in an exhibition
2:19
here at the aga a couple years ago and
2:21
comes from our collection is by margot
2:24
henry
2:25
and this is a work of art that is an
2:28
entire installation that has a tiny
2:31
village and there’s a ufo sort of
2:33
landing
2:35
over top of the village so i think what
2:37
i what i might share with an alien um it
2:41
are artworks that show ufos and show
2:44
aliens and i think that you could have
2:46
an interesting conversation where you’re
2:48
showing you know
2:50
sort of humanity reflected in how we
2:54
interpret and how we think about um
2:57
those aliens that we are representing in
2:59
our in our art and maybe there’s
3:02
something more that can be shown about
3:04
us
3:05
versus are shown about us sort of
3:08
seeing how we see
3:10
these aliens
