Behind Closed Doors - The latest exhibit from the WAG's New Contemporary series reveals what is often unseen by the public, the artist's process in their studio, and their research from the museum vault. There is a sense of enchantment visiting artists in their spaces and connecting the ways ideas are expressed in different forms.
The exhibition brings together work from artists based in Winnipeg or with Winnipeg roots. Artists Ian August and Irene Bindi researched pieces from the WAG collection to inform and influence new works created for this show that unveil layers of knowledge and material.
