Pitseolak is one of the artists
featured in Bestial
Encounters,
a three-part exhibition on
view at the Winnipeg Art Gallery
through June 12, 2011. The
first part of the exhibition
consists of the Winnipeg
Alphabestiary,
a special project conceived
and executed by international
arts publication Border Crossings
that features paintings and
drawings of animals by some
of Winnipeg's leading artists.
The second part comprises Captive,
a unique collection of heartbreaking
works by acclaimed photographer
Volker Seding, who spent 15
years taking photographs of
animals in zoos. The exhibition's
third component consists of
works drawn from the WAG's
permanent collection. These
images similarly deal with
concepts around communication,
language, animals and collecting.
