This month’s featured artist at Gibraltar Point is Janine Miedzik. Janine joined us in July for a self-directed writer’s residency.

“I am a Toronto based visual artist. I have a multidisciplinary practice that moves between site-specific public installations, and intimate gallery sculpture and textile-based wall-works .

My work uses functional urban languages like traffic signage, wayfinding markers, and graphic icons into abstract fields of perception and incorporates everyday job-site materials like sign vinyl, gaffer and vinyl tape, cinefoil, commercial drop cloths and paint sprayers.

During my stay at Gibraltar I was able to work on two inflatables and one panel addition to my work BLANKET, ( a mobile sauna cover which was commissioned by PUBLIC SWEAT and travelled to Minnesota and will be featured in the upcoming permanent home on Wards Island. Having access to a studio sewing machine, work table and the space in my large portable to inflate and alter these works was absolutely ideal and I was able to transport components back and forth from the new site to complete our new additions! Doing physical work has never been also so beautiful and restful —deep focus and undisturbed work hours combined with a daily frosty swim and morning coffee on the beach was just what I needed.”

Each month, we will be featuring an artist-in-residence at Gibraltar Point Centre for the Arts. To book your residency, check out the link in our bio.

For #TOAF65, celebrated choreographer Peggy Baker presents Storyline (with laughter, tears and beauty), a moving performance created for acclaimed dancer Julia Sasso.⁠
⁠
Together, they explore what a dancer carries in their body after a lifetime of movement—where memory, experience, and artistic practice become inseparable from the body itself. Created with sculptural works by Janine Miedzik and an original score by John Gzowski, the performance reflects on creativity as something that continues to evolve over time.⁠
⁠
You can still experience this special live performance during #TOAF65:⁠

🗓️ Saturday, July 11⁠
⏰ 5:00 PM⁠
⁠
🗓️ Sunday, July 12⁠
⏰ 12:00 PM & 2:00 PM⁠

⚠️ Wait until you see what this artwork is actually made of.

Construction materials. Sign vinyl. Tape. Tarps.

What most people overlook, Janine Miedzik @janinemiedzik transforms into striking works of contemporary art. Turn Signal / Next Exit challenges us to see the familiar in an entirely new way.

Which piece caught your eye first? 👀
