So the land owned by the City of Saskatoon taxpayers, actually could be controlled by a corporation that is unaccountable to city council or the public for 70 years.

Sara Cwynar (born in Vancouver, 1985) graduated with a bachelor of design honors degree from York University in Toronto in 2010. After working as a freelance graphic designer for the
New York Times, she earned an MFA in photography from Yale University in 2016. Her debut solo US museum exhibition,
Sara Cwynar: Image Model Muse, opened at the Minneapolis Institute of Art in September 2018, prior to traveling to the Milwaukee Art Museum. Cwynar’s
Red Film (2018) was included in the 2018 São Paulo Biennial, and she completed a residency at Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture, Maine, in summer 2018. In June 2019, the Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum, Ridgefield, Connecticut, opened
Sara Cwynar and curator
Glass Life (Aperture, 2021). A feminist-inflected investigation of color and image-driven consumer culture,
Glass Life brings together Cwynar’s multilayered portraits and stills from the films
Soft Film (2016),
Rose Gold (2017), and
Red Film (2018). Gallun and Cwynar will discuss the artist’s multilayered practice and how she pursues photography in relation to film, sculpture, digital culture, and the cultural and technological history of image-making.
This event takes place in conjunction with the June installment of the Museum of Modern Art’s Hyundai Card Video Views, featuring a film by Sara Cwynar. More information and access to the screening will be available on June 9, 2021.

An Apology, A Pill, A Ritual, A Resistance
Remai Modern
Until May 24
A Remai Modern exhibition is putting coronavirus into historical context through a lens of, of course, art.
An Apology, A Pill, A Ritual, A Resistance which assembles work by multiple artists to examine life under pandemics past and present is also the work of a new curatorial team.
Last summer, the Remai welcomed Aileen Burns and Johan Lundh as its new co-directors. The married couple came to Saskatoon from a similar post in New Zealand after stints at galleries in Australia and Northern Ireland (Burns is Canadian, Lundh Swedish). In October, Tarah Hogue joined Remai Modern as its inaugural curator (Indigenous art). Before that, Hogue was the inaugural senior curatorial fellow, Indigenous art at the Vancouver Art Gallery.
