Mathieu Lefevre: “Irony as Method”
2025-08-26 13:00 - 15:00 | The Centre, 10052-117 St. NW, Edmonton, Alberta, T5K 1X2, Canada
Honouring Contemporary Artwork of late Mathieu LefevreTuesday, August 26 at 1p.m.
“Mathieu Lefevre’s work often relies on humour and mockery. As such, one can place Lefevre in a tradition Pierre-Michel Menger has called the ‟mocking and ironic avant-garde,” an avant-garde tradition descended from Dada and Marcel Duchamp—Schwitters, Cage, Warhol, Damien Hirst. Thumbing their noses at a classical tradition that conceived art as a privileged means of elevating oneself above the banal, these artists delighted in reducing art to the level of triviality, in exposing it to the worst degradations.”

The Media: It’s Challenges and Future with John Hanlon

Thursday, August 28 at 1p.m.
Mainstream media stuggles to survive. As each financially-troubled news outlet closes, we lose another trustworthy source of information to help us make decisions that affect our lives. For a look at this development and its consequences, join retired CBC broadcaster John Hanlon.
John hosted information programs on CBC Radio and TV in Edmonton and Calgary from 1976 to 1996. After leaving the CBC, John joined Japan’s public broadcaster, NHK. There he worked in a variety of capacities on its English-language satellite TV service until his retirement in 2015. Though retired, John maintains a strong interest in the challenges faced by today’s media.
