Tourism Winnipeg

A Moon or a Button is a solo exhibition of new and existing work made by Michael Dumontier (Winnipeg) over the past five years. Dumontier’s inventive, reductive works are at once sculpture, painting, collage, and drawing. Being unconcerned with these definitions, Dumontier makes objects that are the outcome of a playful series of improvisations with simple materials. Lines, rarely drawn or painted, are made with rough cuts of a saw blade, string, carefully extracted childrens’ drawings, or thin slivers of negative space. This exhibition, curated by Micah Lexier, is the first major exhibition of Dumontier’s work presented in a public venue.
