PopSex! is a research project – undertaken by artists and scholars from Calgary and Berlin – into the histories and futures of sexuality. The project responds to the remnants of Magnus Hirschfeld’s Institute for Sexual Science – a place of scientific research, public exhibition, political activism, and social refuge that existed in Berlin from 1919 to 1933, when it was plundered and destroyed by the Nazis as the first target of the May 10th book burnings. PopSex! delves into this archive to make visible its violent destruction and immaterial afterlife. This presentation is a selection of works from the original exhibit at ACAD in January 2011.
Hank Zyp
Hank Zyp (1935-2012) spent his life helping others. A teacher, illustrator, and advocate of social justice, Zyp helped to found organizations such as Change For Children and Rainbow of Hope for Children. This exhibit celebrates the community contributions he made, as demonstrated through a lifetime of art making.
Wil Yee
Drawer, designer, and illustrator Wil Yee is recruiting professional artists, creative people, family, friends, and strangers to build a mural this year at the Works. Each person will complete one section in isolation from each other, constructing a synergetic piece that will be revealed as the piece is assembled.
THE WORKS GATEWAYS
En Masse
Jason Botkin, Fred Caron, and local contributors.
En Masse is a Montreal-based alternative art initiative that works collaboratively and spontaneously, building fantastical black on white illustrations that will be developed during the festival on Churchill Square.
Measuring a Year
Margie Davidson
How long is a scarf that has one stitch for every minute of a year? Embracing the essential humanity of traditional textiles and tenacious art practice, Margie Davidson answers this question.
