Art NOW presents Lauren Chipeur
12 pm MT | March 28, 2022
uLethbridge Online Presentation
Free admission, everyone welcome
Lauren Chipeur is an artist based in Calgary, AB on Treaty 7 Territory. She makes sculpture and site responsive installations that untangle or distill new ways to know things. Her current research uses ceramic materials and processes as a lens to reflect on the parallel and opposing belief systems about our shared material realities. She graduated with an MFA from Concordia University in 2019 and since then spent time as an artist in residence at Medalta (Medicine Hat). Recently, she has exhibited at Neutral Ground (Regina) and Centre Clark (Montréal).
Thank you to the Southern Alberta Art Gallery for their collaboration in making this artist talk possible.

The kiln is programmed to follow the path of oxygen from present day to 4.5 billion years ago when Earth’s atmosphere was in reduction (lacked oxygen). Different mineral supplements in pill form were pressed into the clay from left to right: potassium, spirulina and zinc pills.
