ABOUT MARK NEUFELD
|
Mark Neufeld works in between a variety of disciplines and media, with painting as the basis for his activities. His work takes the form of installations that interweave paintings with readymade objects and assemblages, and utilize presentation strategies borrowed from the curatorial domain. Thematically, the work weaves together a variety of interests pulled from popular culture, art history, and a host of other sources.
Mark received his BFA from Emily Carr (1998) and an MFA from the University of Victoria (2005), and is the recipient of a number of awards and grants, including the Joseph Plaskett Award—a $25,000 award designed to support the recipient for a year of living and producing art abroad. Neufeld has exhibited across Canada, in the United States, in Germany, Australia and Norway, and most recently exhibited The Undiscovered Continent at Deluge Contemporary Art in Victoria BC, 55 Tschaikowskistrasse (along with Cedric Bomford) at Gallery Atsui in Vancouver, The Greenhorn, a solo exhibition at Atelierhof Kreuzberg in Berlin Germany, and Performance with Two Sculptures at the SAAG, Lethbridge Alberta.

ABOUT SARAH CIURSYEK
|
Sarah Ciurysek works primarily in photography, video, audio, and installation to examine our relationship to the ground. Large-scale colour photographs of soil, grass, and fields reference graves, life and death, nourishment, history, and archeology. Installation is used to disrupt and refresh the viewer’s experience of the ground: a wall of soil towers overhead, vinyl photographs on the gallery floor are walked upon. Rural sensibilities and concerns are often highlighted, as are women's stories in relationship to the ground.
Sarah has exhibited across Canada, in the UK and South Africa. She has participated in national and international residencies and has received grants from the Canada Council and Alberta Foundation for the Arts. Sarah teaches at the University of Manitoba.
