This is an up-close and insightful view of an intensely productive artistic community and its contribution to international art. What do Guy Maddin, Marcel Dzama, AA Bronson, and Diana Thorneycroft have in common? They're all from Winnipeg. "My Winnipeg" sets out to show that - far from heading toward globalization - the art world is driven by thriving but little-known centres of creative activity. Artists are inspired by the cities in which they live and the work they produce helps define their region's identity. This identity is carried in films, music, literature and art, conveying these artists' visions around the globe. Winnipeg is a prime example of how geographical location can shape artistic production and how that production can explode onto the international scene. Brimming with information and analysis, this collection of critical writing and illustrated biographies of 71 artists provides an up-close view of an intensely productive artistic community.
