I-20 is pleased to open the first New York show for Winnipeg’s Royal Art Lodge.
The Royal Art Lodge was formed by six Winnipeg artists in 1996 for experimental collaboration. The members – Michael Dumontier, Marcel Dzama, Hollie Dzama, Neil Farber, Drue Langois and Myles Langois – work together in producing a variety of works on paper, which could be described as upbeat, tragic and ambivalent. These artists also collaborate with Deco Dawson on films, videos and other projects. Approximately 50 drawings by the group will be exhibited in the I-20 show.
The Royal Art Lodge was co-founded by Marcel Dzama, who graduated from the School of Art at the University of Manitoba. Dzama has had solo exhibitions at Artcore, Toronto; the David Zwirner Gallery, New York; Espacio Minimo, Madrid; the Richard Heller Gallery, Los Angeles; and ARTPACE, San Antonio, Texas.
