Farewell Jen & Andy

It is a HappySad day for us at VP as we announce the departure of two of our longest standing staff members, both of whom are leaving to pursue their passions that they were able to develop during their time at VP and with the Winnipeg arts community. They are both finished at the end of April but will remain doing small bits of work for VP because, well, they’re invaluable!

Irene Bindi on SADZEÉ; TIME

Such limited paths of engagement seem the antipode of SADZEÉ ; TIME, where the work’s behaviours rely on our nuanced presence, and within the subtleties of our attention we discover its expanse. Through a bit of knowledge of our own bodily work in relation to its surroundings, through attention to movement in ongoing relationship with resultant sensory changes, Casey Koyczan’s work feeds back to us, and we become aware of a delicate relationship. Focusing more intently on these movements and sensorial changes, we individually recede.
