PETER VON TIESENHAUSEN | JULY 9 | 2 - 3 PM MST
FREE WITH ADMISSION

The Articulations Art Lecture Series offers presentations from contemporary practicing artists and arts professionals. Local and international artists, curators, critics, art historians, theorists, filmmakers, and more, join us in discussion online, sharing their practice and engaging with the audience in open, critical discussion. 

The Southern Alberta Art Gallery Maansiksikaitsitapiitsinikssin is pleased to host an in-person talk and tour with exhibiting artist Peter von Tiesenhausen.

Peter von Tiesenhausen is a settler artist based in rural Treaty 8 territory, in the community of Demmitt, AB. von Tiesenhausen's long-standing multidisciplinary practice staunchly eludes categorization; land art, community-building, steel sculpture, environmental activism, bronze-casting, and wild blueberry propagation equally contribute to a complex synergy: a life lived as art.

Emerging in resonance with the natural cycles of the land he stewards and lives on, von Tiesenhausen's work contains an elemental urgency—a capacity to demonstrate momentary, precise unities between celestial mechanics and rural common sense: states in which every droplet of water reflects the sun.

This exhibition was made possible with funding assistance from the Canada Council for the Arts, Alberta Foundation for the Arts, and the City of Lethbridge.
