Twinning
Video Installation Preston Gallery, Cambridge Art Galleries 435 King Street East, Cambridge, ON Canada November 10, 2017 - January 21, 2018 ideaexchange.org/art/exhibition/twinning Our bodies affect our selves in such intricate and complex ways. Marianne Burlew’s research focuses on the body’s connection to identity and uses the language of sensation to bridge abstract concepts of self into tangibility. Featuring two recorded memories as installations, Twinning is an open invitation to experience and reflect using presented fragments in partnership with your own body. Sisters centres around two sisters on a couch while one plays with the other’s hair, while I Miss lays you down beside a girl who longs for someone while in her bedroom. Each installation combines video, sound, sculpture, and furniture in an open arrangement. Accompanying curatorial essay: "Embodiment and Reverie in Marianne Burlew's Twinning" by Natalie Hunter. |

Twinning
Thesis Exhibition University of Waterloo Art Gallery April 14 - 30, 2016 Through installation techniques, I afford space for contemplating our body’s unique sensory knowledge and its role in mediating perception. The exhibition consists of four stations that present sculpture in the form of furniture and textile objects alongside video works that explore concepts of becoming through performance. Each work contains moments of co-creation, or becoming in relation between the subjects within the works as well between the works and the audience. Visitors are encouraged to interact with objects and spend time moving from each station to the next in an active role of thinking and feeling.
