SUMMARY:Exhibition: Jocelyne Junker - The Artist Beheads Her Muse
DESCRIPTION:Massy Arts Society is pleased to be presenting a solo exhibition featuring paintings and photographic works by Vancouver based artist Jocelyne Junker upstairs in the gallery at Massy Books.⁣ \nJocelyne Junker is a Metis artist born in Saskatchewan. Her practice explores how photography can become entangled in performative gestures that affect the formulation and construction self identity. Through photography she engages in the questioning of representation and identity in the public sphere.⁣ \nFeaturing new bodies of work\, The Artist Beheads Her Muse confronts the fluctuating constructions of parasocial relationships – an audience’s mediated encounter with public figures in mass media. Created during times of intense isolation\, these photographs and paintings confuse the responsibilities associated with myth-making and archiving that surround public perception. Deliberate interchanging of subject and object replicate the harmful tendencies that come with the idolization of public figures. Junker implicates the personal\, solitary experience of watching others from afar\, and how the mystification of people expands as our own personhood is built up in new realms. Junker’s poised imagery speaks to the history of portraiture\, where the affluent had the ability to commission a narrative of their liking to be introduced into the world\, and it’s evolution into the massive proliferation of images we are witness to today. \nAccessibility: \nThis exhibition takes place upstairs in the Massy Gallery\, which is only accessible by a flight of stairs. Unfortunately\, no audio or visual tours are available at this time.⁣\n⁣\nMasks are mandatory while in Massy Books.⁣

SUMMARY:An Evening with Anakana Schofield
DESCRIPTION:The Consulate General of Ireland in Vancouver is delighted to invite you to an online evening with award-winning Irish author Anakana Schofield\, whose most recent novel Bina has been shortlisted for the 2020 Goldsmiths Prize. Anakana will read from Bina and share some of her thoughts on different topics in conversation with the Consulate. There will be some time for Q&A at the end so we look forward to your participation also!\n\nPlease join us on Thursday 5 November 2020\, 7-8pm PST.\nRegister here to attend: https://us02web.zoom.us/…/tZ0qcuCqqjkrH9TzFf1RhnEiIU70v…\n\nAbout the author:\n\nAnakana Schofield is the author of the acclaimed\, Giller Prize-shortlisted novel Martin John\, which was also a finalist for the Ethel Wilson Fiction Prize\, the Goldsmiths Prize in the UK\, a New York Times Editors’ Choice and named a best book of the year by the Wall Street Journal\, Globe and Mail\, National Post\, Sunday Business Post\, Toronto Star and Irish Times\, among others. Her debut novel Malarky won the Amazon.ca First Novel Award\, the Debut-Litzer Prize for Fiction in the United States and was a finalist for the Ethel Wilson Fiction Prize. Her writing and reviews have appeared in the Guardian\, Irish Times\, Globe and Mail\, National Post\, London Review of Books blog\, and The Long Gaze Back: An Anthology of Irish Women Writers. She lives in Vancouver\, British Columbia.\n\nAbout Bina:\n\nStartlingly original and horribly funny\, Anakana Schofield’s Bina is that rare thing: a black comedy about euthanasia. Composed as a series of warnings scribbled on the backs of envelopes from the safety of her bed\, the narrator is a septuagenarian who has had enough. And we can see why: her front garden is filled with political activists\, her back garden with medical waste; her lodger stayed on for an extra ten years and she is suspected of murdering her best friend. In all her despair\, and empathy for the despair of others\, Bina emerges from her elliptical missives\, addressed to everyone but no-one in particular\, as an eccentric heroine of monumental moral courage.\n\n*The author’s and publisher’s preferred bookseller in Vancouver where Bina is available to purchase:\nMassy Books\n229 E. Georgia St. Vancouver\, BC V6A 1Z6\nwww.massybooks.com\n604-721-4405\nYou can purchase Bina here:\nhttps://bit.ly/31OoSBA
