The Estevan Art Gallery and Museum (EAGM) will host an opening reception for its two newest exhibits on Nov. 22, starting at 7 p.m.
Seeing and not Seeing is by Mindy Yan Miller and Relative Bonds is by Regan Lanning. Both are slated to be on display until Jan. 10, 2020.
Yan Miller’s installations, sculpture and performative pieces investigate labour, identity, loss and commodification. Primarily a material and medium-based practice, Yan Miller often works with large masses of found or ready-made materials, including used clothing, human hair, soft drink cans and most recently cowhide.
She has been the recipient of numerous grants from the Canada Council for the Arts, the Quebec Arts Council and the Saskatchewan Arts Board. Yan Miller lives with her family in Saskatoon and in Montreal where she regularly teaches in fibres and material practices at Concordia University.
Regan Lanning is curator of the Weyburn Arts Council. She was the winner of the Estevan Arts Council’s 2018 Ev Johnson Memorial Adjudicated Art Show, which earned her a solo show at the EAGM. She is a ceramicist and the Relative Bonds exhibit combines her love of drawing with her love of pottery, with the theme of representing the relationships she has with her loved ones, such as her two children.
Both artists are scheduled to be in attendance.
This event is free to attend and all ages are welcome.
