"Read Your Brains Out": Bev Pike on Feminist Art and Grant Writing
Manage episode 398854133 series 3533928
Bev Pike is a Winnipeg artist known for gigantic immersive paintings of architectural utopias. She bases her current series on eccentric three hundred year-old subterranean grottos in England. Pike shows her work in major public art galleries across Canada, most recently at the Dunlop Art Gallery (Regina), Museum London (London), and St. Mary’s University Art Gallery (Halifax). She is the recipient of many major grants from the Canada Council, Manitoba Arts Council and Winnipeg Arts Council. Pike also creates humorous, provocative and feminist Agony Aunt columns in artist books that are in international special collections such as the Victoria & Albert Museum, Tate Modern, University of Bristol and others in England, Canada, Iceland and the USA. She has been a guest speaker from coast to coast and in England. Finally, as a long-time community activist, Pike writes evidence-based satire for the Winnipeg Free Press, CBC, MSN, etc.
In this episode, Bev Pike tells us more about the importance of taking up space. From the scale of her paintings to her satirical writing, Pike's strong convictions as a Feminist means she's not afraid to make herself, or her work, stand out. Additionally, Pike gives some valuable advice for artists regarding grant writing in Canada.
