DOMINIQUE REY: Artist Talk
Plug In Institute of Contemporary Art 460 Portage Ave, Winnipeg, Manitoba R3C 0E8
Dominique Rey, "A Momentary Lapse of Reason," 2016
mixed media
Please join Plug In ICA on Thursday, October 27th at 7pm for an artist talk by Dominique Rey, who is known for her serial and researched work that draws its subject matter from different female subcultures. From woman working in the striping industry to those who choose to join a particular catholic sect of nuns, Rey observes as well as ingratiates herself into these communities as she documents and frames individuals and the spaces they occupy. She has a strong voice that filters through her work, which centres on photography as well as expands into performance, sculpture and painting.
For her talk, she will present on her recent artworks — a selection of which are included in Plug In ICA’s current group exhibition Superimposition: Sculpture and Image. The exhibition joins artists who contend with the spatial terms of sculpture while also contemplating the flat surface of images. Rey’s work in the exhibition samples two different bodies of work, but both use photograph as the bases to construct abstract forms through sculpture, collage and assemblage.
