Trespassers/Intrus
Burnaby Art Gallery

Burnaby, BC, CA
June 25 - September 19, 2021

Curated by Jennifer Cane and Ellen van Eijnsbergen “ the exhibition Trespassers/Intrus focuses on Lemieux’s evolving engagement with the body. Through sculpture and drawings in ink, paint, and fabric, her work evokes transformation through a choreography of hybridized elements – through animal references, appendages, and articles of clothing that both obscure and reveal. Her longstanding interest in the personal and symbolic associations of garments is explored. A complex installation of suspended glass school tunics, titled The Classroom, revisits a previous work that the artist created in the 1980s. Based on a formative memory and a dream-like experience from childhood, the work evokes the thrill of rebellion and the promise of transformation” - Jennifer Cane, Director/Curator, Burnaby Art Gallery .
