SUMMARY:Closing Reception / Kyla Gilbert + Otilia Sabina + Nico McGiffin
DESCRIPTION:On Saturday\, September 16th from 2-4pm\, join Massy Arts\, and Vancouver-based artists Kyla Gilbert + Otilia Sabina + Nico McGiffin for the closing reception of our current exhibitions: Here I am\, in the in-between\, and Blue-Collar Sex Kitten. \nAt the event\, artists will meet audiences in-person to talk about their creative practice\, the show’s themes + aesthetics\, and the process of creating in the in-between. \nThis project is supported by the Community Arts Council of Vancouver + First Peoples’ Cultural Council. \nVenue & Accessibility \nThe event will be hosted at the Massy Arts Gallery\, at 23 East Pender Street in Chinatown\, Vancouver. \nRegistration is free\, open to all and required for entrance. \nThe gallery is wheelchair accessible and a gender-neutral washroom is on-site. Please refrain from wearing scents or heavy perfumes. \nFor more on accessibility including parking\, seating\, venue measurements and floor plan\, visit: massyarts.com/accessibility \nCovid Protocols: Masks keep our community safe and are mandatory (N95 masks are recommended as they offer the best protection). We ask if you are showing symptoms\, that you stay home. Thank you kindly. \nThe Artists \nKyla Gilbert is a visual artist based out of Vancouver BC on the unceded territory of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam)\, Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish)\, and səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations. She graduated with a BFA in performance from Concordia University in 2017 and spent the two subsequent years touring as a puppeteer with DJ Kid Koala. Her current practice revolves around intuitive encounter with materials. As a former puppeteer and performer\, she approaches her process as a site for improvisation that results in the creation of objects full of discrepancy\, juxtaposition\, awkwardness\, and joy. Kyla completed my MFA in Studio Art from Emily Carr University in spring of 2022. \nOtilia Sabina (she/her) is an interdisciplinary visual artist and designer born in Bucharest\, Romania and raised on the unceded\, ancestral\, and occupied\, traditional lands of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm\, Skwxwú7mesh and Səl̓ílwətaʔ Nations of the Coast Salish peoples\, also known as Vancouver. She holds a BFA from Emily Carr University of Art + Design (2013). Otilia Sabina’s collage work re-contextualizes images and digital media to create new visual artifacts inspired by stories from both my life before and after immigrating to Canada. \nNico McGiffin (b.2002) is a non-binary\, queer assemblage sculptor investigating the ways in which found and fabricated objects work to bridge the gap between butch-queer identities and highly macho cis-masculinity. They are based in “Vancouver BC” on the unceded traditional territories of the xwməθkwəy̓ əm (Musqueam)\, Sḵwx̱ wú7mesh (Squamish)\, and səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil- Waututh) Nations\, where they are completing their BFA in Sculpture + Expanded Practices at Emily Carr University of Art + Design.
