Kegan McFadden

Kegan McFadden came to making art through the study of literature, history, and exhibition practice. Working with memory, text, and modest tools of production, his art practice is a visual representation of his queer experience. The question that propels his artistic exploration is rooted in queer phenomenology, or how we move through time and space differently depending on our lived experience. He interrogates the possibilities (and limitations) of memory through lists, essays, poems, and bookworks as a way of taking stock of his experience has a queer person. He does not have a studio practice, and his simplified means of production are purposely meant to destabilize heteronormative hegemonies and gendered hierarchies in the art world (i.e., he chooses pastel chalk over oil paint, recycled soft materials over elaborate structures, performance over plein air, and bookworks over bronze, etc.) McFadden is a founding member and editor of the publishing collective, As We Try & Sleep, through which he has produced a series of exhibitions and related printed matter/artist books over the last ten years. Kegan’s practice addresses how information is conveyed through memories, both personal and collective. His projects in exhibition and print form always incorporate text, and have been exhibited throughout Canada. The CCCA Winnipeg Artists Project was generously supported by the Winnipeg Foundation.
