SUMMARY:ANTI-ICON: APOKALYPSIS
DESCRIPTION:The Polygon Gallery presents the Canadian premiere of ANTI-ICON: APOKALYPSIS\, Martine Gutierrez’s first major solo show in Canada. The exhibition features 17 self-portraits in which Gutierrez transforms herself into a pantheon of influential heroines who have become legendary through depictions in art history\, pop culture\, and religion. Her exquisite transformations into Ardhanarishvara\, Cleopatra\, the Virgin Mary\, and Joan of Arc among others\, are photographed with the style and glamour of luxury fashion magazines. Using simple sets and minimal props\, Gutierrez subverts class\, gender\, celebrity\, and other notions that give images “iconic” status. Originally commissioned by Public Art Fund in 2021 and circulated on bus shelters in New York\, Chicago\, and Boston\, the series was last on view in three separate parts across New York\, San Francisco\, and London galleries in 2023. The Polygon presentation will be the first time the series will be seen in its entirety. \nAdmission to The Polygon Gallery is by donation\, courtesy of BMO Financial Group. \nAddress\n101 Carrie Cates Court\, North Vancouver\, V7M 3J4\nGallery hours Wednesday\, 10am–5pm; Thursday\, 10am–9pm; Friday–Sunday\,\n10am–5pm

SUMMARY:Portraits of Solitude
DESCRIPTION:Have you ever felt lost in a labyrinth of existential questions\, fears\, and possibilities? Have you ever questioned your place as an artist in this ever so uncertain world? Have you ever wondered if your houseplants are trying to kill you in your sleep? \nPortraits of Solitude is a one act absurdist dramedy about Amara\, a writer during COVID-19 lockdown\, attempting to finish her novel. The voices in her head and the character from her novel come alive to have a chaotic conversation discussing everything from Amara’s personal fears and existential crisis to the state of the world to what it means to be an artist in the modern world. \nWritten and directed by Sunny Mohajer and starring Alethea Sholomenko\, Tanya Jade\, Marnie Mahannah\, James Cowley\, Siobhan Connors\, and Pat Moonie\, this play will have you in stitches with its relatability\, snappy wit\, and heartfelt dialogue.

SUMMARY:Integration: Creating Art from Life's Chaos
DESCRIPTION:I want to wander with you through the tangled mess of life and the art it births. We get to peel back the layers of an artist’s soul\, where every scar tells a story\, and every triumph feels hard-won. \nThis show does not shy away from the real stuff. We dive into the deep end of transformation—a wild ride from a retreat in Costa Rica to the heart-wrenching reality of saying goodbye to a beloved family member and a chance encounter in the vibrant chaos of New Orleans. These aren’t just stories; they’re the lifeblood of what it means to create when life itself is pulling you apart. \nArt rarely comes from a place of ease. It’s born from sleepless nights\, raw emotions\, and the relentless drive to make something beautiful out of chaos. We’ll explore how life’s darkest moments can spark the brightest creative fires and how an artist’s journey is a testament to persistence\, patience\, and pliability. \nIf you’re an artist\, a seeker\, or someone who lives for the unfiltered truths of life\, come with me. Let’s walk this path together\, finding meaning in the madness and beauty in the struggle. This is Integration. Welcome to the journey.
