THE FIX-ITS is a parody performance\, and installation work assuming the characters of a multi-talented duo of contract workers who critique systems of oppression and misogyny within professional spaces through hard work\, physical labor and community care. Getting to work as THE FIX-ITS required the proper OHS approved signage\, designating spaces to be soft and silly with yourself. This installation is the accumulation of the FIX-ITS body of work and will consist of the quilted signage used in our FIX-ITS performances\, our constructed light box art crate signs\, screenprints\, and textile work. \nGeorgia Dawkin and Drew Pardy are the two halves of the friendship heart necklace that is HOT 4 THE MOMENT. A creative collective\, HOT 4 THE MOMENT developed as a way for Georgia Dawkin and Drew Pardy to combine common themes within their work\, and to provide a space for play within their art practices. \nHOT 4 THE MOMENT has exhibited in Eastern Edge Gallery (NL)\, Neutral Ground Artist Run Centre (SK)\, designed sets for Lawnya Vawnya Music Festival (NL)\, and performed at CB Nuit (NL)\, and the Atlantic Arts Symposium (NB). They were the 2024 Elbow Room Artists in Residence at The Rooms (NL) and the VANL Emerging Artists of the Year in 2024. Both Georgia and Drew are currently based in St. John’s\, NL and have received their BFAs from Grenfell Campus\, Memorial University.

HOT 4 THE MOMENT will be taking over the Alberta Printmakers Main Gallery with “NOTICE ME!”\, a printed and quilted construction site. THE FIX-ITS is a parody performance\, and installation work assuming the characters of a multi-talented duo of contract workers who critique systems of oppression and misogyny within professional spaces through hard work\, physical labor and community care. Getting to work as THE FIX-ITS required the proper OHS approved signage\, designating spaces to be soft and silly with yourself. This installation is the accumulation of the FIX-ITS body of work and will consist of the quilted signage used in our FIX-ITS performances\, our constructed light box art crate signs\, screenprints\, and textile work. \nArtist Statement: HOT 4 THE MOMENT uses printmaking\, performance\, textiles\, sculpture and video as tools to explore labour\, gender\, and friendship. Their work uses humor as a vessel for change and pop-culture as a language to explore difficult topics\, and to break down expectations of “women under the patriarchy”. This often looks at gendered labour and representation in the media. ‘NOTICE ME!”is a playful examination of gendered cultural and social labour norms. This body of work uses imagery of work sites and construction signage to consider what is traditionally valued as paid labour vs. what goes mostly unrecognized and underpaid moving through the world as both artists and women. With their first body of work as HOT 4 THE MOMENT\, Georgia and Drew use playfulness\, humour\, softness and collaboration as an act of resilience and protest against systems of oppression within professional spaces as THE FIX-ITS. Together\, they dissect these themes through dispersing labour and decentering oneself in practice. \nArtist Bios: Georgia Dawkin and Drew Pardy are the two halves of the friendship heart necklace that is HOT 4 THE MOMENT.

Students will be instructed on ways of designing imagery for reduction printing\, useful approaches to the carving process\, the use of a registration jig\, and finally the setting of the press and printing.  \nParticipants should leave the workshop with a small edition of reduction prints designed and printed by themselves as well as a good foundation in the technique to allow them to continue with their own personal explorations. \nSome prior experience with relief printmaking (linocut or woodcut) is an advantage to taking this workshop but is not a necessity. \n  \nWhat you’ll learn: ​​​​\n\nWhat should be considered when designing an image for the reduction process\nHow to transfer the image to the block\nThe basics of carving linoleum\nHow to achieve accurate registration for multiple layers of colour\nThe printing process\n\n  \nAbout the instructor:\nJonathan Creese is a Trinidadian artist\, currently living\, working\, and studying in Calgary AB.

Taking root at the intersection of reproductive justice and queer liberation\, No Place Like Homo draws on themes of choice\, loss\, intention\, and autonomy\, and questions what it means to “conceive of” in the context of conception itself. The exhibition explores contrasting desires for visibility and for safety\, offering a view that is both zoomed in and zoomed out\, tender\, lighthearted\, resolute\, and joyfully mundane. \nK Sarrantonio blends traditional and experimental screenprinting techniques to represent queer domesticity and genderqueer experience. Born in the Hudson Valley in Upstate New York\, K lives and works in Queens\, NY. They have attended residencies at McColl Center\, Women’s Studio Workshop\, Vermont Studio Center\, Crosstown Arts\, Signal Fire Arts\, and Kimmel Harding Nelson Center. They received an MFA from Rhode Island School of Design and a BA from Hampshire College.  \n\nVisitor Information:\nNew to the A/P space?
