Banff Pride and Walter Phillips Gallery are excited to partner on an edition of Beers for Queers in conjunction with the exhibition, Cassils: Movement.
Join as us at Walter Phillips Gallery to experience our current exhibition by the internationally acclaimed artist, Cassils.
Movement exists in the interstices of performance, photography, sound and light. The title references the sequential stages of a musical score, as well as social, political, physiological and somatic movements. This exhibition includes a series of new works that translate Human Measure (2021-ongoing), Cassils’ first contemporary dance, into a visceral, immersive, visual and sonic installation.
The event will be preceded by an artist talk by Rita McKeough as a part of the Spring Banff Artist in Residence 2024 program taking place at 4 p.m. in the Jeanne and Peter Lougheed Building, Room 204.
Please note that the exhibition contains nudity and depictions of flashing lights which may not be suitable for people with photosensitive epilepsy or other light sensitivities.
The exhibition at Walter Phillips Gallery is made possible through the generous support of the Canada Council for the Arts, Alberta Foundation for the Arts, Government of Canada and Government of Alberta. The film installation,Movement was produced with support from the Canada Council for the Arts, in collaboration with Banff Centre and with additional support from a Paul D. Fleck Fellowship.
