AMALIE ATKINS

Scenes From a Secret World

In Conjunction with Exposure: 2010


February 4 -27th , 2010
Opening reception Feb. 4th: 6-8pm
Artist in attendance

Skew Gallery is pleased to present its first solo exhibition of artist/filmmaker Amalie Atkins. Scenes from a Secret World includes two films and a series of photographs/film stills. This work delves into the life/death/life cycle of fairy tales while proposing re-imagined archetypal characters: a wolf that is not evil and a damsel who is not in distress. Set in a fictional world that combines the distinctive atmosphere of chosen locations with a lyrical soundscape, the film and photographs investigate the interconnectedness of humans and nature.

Amalie Atkins work is inspired by the repetitive tasks related to her textiles work, such as cutting and stitching, during which subconscious ideas emerge into stories and eventually story lines. Having studied at the Alberta College of Art and Design, Atkins currently lives and works in Saskatoon. Her work has been exhibited across Canada and in 2009 debuted in Berlin, Germany.

The Fifth World: An Introduction

Min Hyung

April 1 – April 28th

Skew Gallery is pleased to present the Western Canadian debut exhibition of Toronto based artist Min Hyung. The Fifth World: an introduction features new paintings and sculpture that depict an imaginary world with characters and visual narratives. Responding to the craze of the inter-active video game/world particularly Second Life, Hyun has created an alternate universe of the imagination where her paintings and sculpture serve as artifact. Hyung’s work depicts a captivating journey into the imagination of the fantastical, but also explores notions of obsession and a human de-evolution on all levels; body, mind, emotions, culture
