Cassia Powell talk and vernissage today

August 28th, 2024

The Warren G. Flowers Gallery is delighted to welcome Vancouver artist Cassia Powell, whose exhibition, in between you and me, opens today (Thursday, Aug. 29) with an Artist Talk in the gallery at 4 PM., followed by the opening reception at 5 PM.

This body of work explores what Gavin Butt refers to as a “social activity which produces and maintains the filiations of the artistic community,” namely – gossip. Using soft-sculptures and oil paintings, Powell explores intimacy, vulnerability, storytelling, and worldbuilding.Gossip is framed as a form of unconventional art history, an inescapable feature of urban artistic life, anda way of building queer and artistic communities.

This event is open to the public and the Exhibition will continue on May 30th from 12:- 9:00 p.m and May 31st from 12:00 - 7:00 p.m. The theme of inclusivity and imagination is brought to life not only through the artwork but also through the design of the event space, including engaging signage and interactive displays.

This vernissage is not only a celebration of our students’ artistic achievements but also an homage to the careers of Pauline Fresco and Meinert Hansen, two esteemed faculty members who are retiring after years of dedication and inspiration.
