Last chance to see Jennifer Willet | Melissa General at UWAG

[Jurakic, Ivan]

Exhibitions closing Saturday, March 7, 2020

GALLERY ONE
Jennifer Willet
Baroque Biology

Baroque Biology is a series of imaginary bio-art vignettes that include digital images, performative sculptures, and living cultures; in which humans collaborate with non-human organisms such as common algae in an effort to convey information about complex biological processes that relate to issues of climate change and the environment. The artist reimagines laboratory aesthetics as feminine and fantastical, with the artworks operating as speculative fairy tales using biotech research as a metaphor for both planetary ecology and everyday life.

GALLERY TWO
Melissa General
Reclamation

Reclamation was created during a residency at Artscape Gibraltar Point on Toronto Island. Over the course of the residency the artist frequently visited the shoreline, digging into the sand and recording the waves of Lake Ontario with a hydrophone in an attempt to reconnect and intervene with the water, land and self.

Exhibitions are free and open to the public
