Cabaret an exhibit by Dominique Winders, October 1 through November 5

About this event

Paul Clerc and Annie Taylor by Dominique Winders Cabaret an exhibit by Dominique Winders Explore the Parisian cabaret of La Belle Epoque. Collage artist, Dominique Winders, will present artworks capturing the heyday of Parisian dancehall featuring the legacy of her grandparents, Paul Clerc and Annie Taylor. Dominique is a multi-disciplinary artist working in collage and mixed media to create provocative artwork which is rich in symbolism and cultural references in which she pays homage to her Midwestern upbringing by using architectural elements salvaged from farmsteads juxtaposed with her French “dance-hall” heritage. Her intricate hand cut collage narratives are filled with tiny details, humor, and whimsy. She is drawn to archetypes and medieval imagery and poses flamboyant cabaret dancers in alluring, psychedelic landscapes to create work that is both nostalgic and surreal. The exhibit will be on view during regular open hours of the Alliance Française Mpls/St Paul. About the Artist Born into a French/American family in Dubuque, Iowa, Dominique has exhibited throughout the Midwest including group shows at Red Wing Arts, Hallberg Center for the Arts and St. Paul Benedictine Monastery as well as solo exhibitions at Alliance Francaise in Minneapolis and VOICES in Dubuque, Iowa.
