Sir Wilfred Grenfell College Art Gallery presents Jeannie
Thib: Corpus until Nov. 10. Jeannie Thib, a Toronto-based
artist, was born in North Bay, Ontario, who uses a variety of
materials and media in her work – anything from laser-cut
steel to leather gloves. The ideas behind her work can be found
throughout the body; to put it in her own words: “The work
posits the body as artifact, and as a region of the imagination
— a territory of uncertainty.” This exhibition will
be an assortment of work that was produced throughout the 1990s.
Gallery hours are 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday to Saturday
