Paper Doll

Central to Paper Doll is an archival collection of paper dolls and doll clothes made by poet Sylvia Plath, when she was a teenager. The works in this group show range from tiny, delicate paper sculptures to giant, steel-cut dresses. The artists include Barb Hunt, Cindy Sherman, Jeannie Thib, Cybèle Young, Anna Torma, Ed Pien, and Lynne Yamamoto. Curated by Anne Koval, Paper Doll is organized and circulated by the Owens Art Gallery, Mount Allison University, in Sackville, NB, with support from the Canada Council for the Arts.



Clint Neufeld, Odalisque, 2010, ceramic, wood, vinyl.

Gasoline Alley and Other Dreams by Clint Neufeld
March 30 to June 10, 2012
Saskatoon-area artist Clint Neufeld has a grease monkey's appreciation for muscle cars, but he also replicates the components of engines, transmissions and axles in ceramic. His delicate sculptures ask viewers to consider men's garage "tinkering" in terms of aesthetics, transformation — even love. Neufeld, a rising star on the Canadian art scene, had solo exhibitions in public art galleries across the country in 2011. Organized by Associate Curator Jen Budney, this is Neufeld's first solo exhibition at the Mendel Art Gallery.



Fred Moulding, Untitled (pig slaughter), 1980, wood, plaster, acrylic, tin, wire, cotton cord, nails, particle board.

Forced Perspective
March 30 to June 10, 2012
Drawn from the permanent collection of the Mendel Art Gallery, Forced Perspective examines culture and place. Working from miniature to monumental scales, the artists represent the diverse aesthetic traditions contributing to Prairie culture. Included are pioneer paintings by Augustus Kenderdine, carvings by Fred Moulding, and contemporary works by Douglas Walker, Bill Burns, and Janet Werner. Forced Perspective is organized by Public Programs Assistant Troy Gronsdahl.
