Monument @ The Works Festval, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada

fast & dirty presents: Monument
Sun. July 4 to Wed. July 7
102A Avenue, Winston Churchill Square, Edmonton, AB

fast & dirty presents: Monument is an intersection of public spaces and private places, a memorial to temporality, and an exploration of how we inhabit urban landscapes. On the first morning of the exhibition (Sun. July 4, 9:30 am-12:00 pm), seven Edmonton visual artists will cover the installation structure with posters created from their artworks. The installation will be left to the elements and thus may deteriorate over the course of the exhibition. Visual Artists: Matthew Arrigo, Adrien Cho, Jennifer Rae Forsyth, Kristen Hutchinson, Adriean Koleric, Elaine Wannechko, Ryan Wolters

Local performance artists and contemporary dancers will create pieces that respond directly to the exhibition concept, to the artworks on the walls, and to the space of Winston Churchill Square. Over the four-day run of the exhibition, there will be one performance every day of varying durations. Performance Artists:
Todd Janes: Sun. July 4, 12:00-4:00 pm
Good Women Dance Society: Mon. July 5, 2:30 pm
Jennifer Mesch & Kevin Jesuino: Tues. July 6, 5:30-6:30 pm
Julianna Barabas: Wed. July 7, 5:30-8:30 pm

The exhibition is organized by fast & dirty, a rotating collective of artists/curators, founded and led by curatorial team Jennifer Rae Forsyth and Kristen Hutchinson, which creates exhibitions and art events for a short duration in unusual environments.

Monument seeks to undermine divisions between artistic mediums and to question assumptions about what is considered high art and low art. The exhibition asks viewers to consider how they occupy urban space, and how the images that accumulate around us inform how we live in our city.
