Winnipeg- that mythical town on the Canadian frontier - Manitoba-

Winnipeg has produced an inordinately fecund cultural milieu with artists experimenting in all media.

Manitoba was the first predominantly english speaking province to legislatively protect queer rights in 1987. With North America's first out gay mayor elected in the 1990's, Winnipeg cemented its reputation as a radical city that emerged from the Red River uprising of Louis Riel in 1869. Modern day Winnipeg is the coldest city on earth - with the largest per-capita Native population in Canada and a reputation as the murder and child poverty capital of the country.

WinniPig the exhibition takes its name from a performance by Lydia Lunch at the Plug In Institute of Contemporary Art in 1987. An audience member heckled that she was the Queen of Winnipeg, to which she replied: "I'm not the Queen of Winnipeg, I'm the Queen of WinniPig!"

Curated by artist/filmmaker Noam Gonick, with assistance from Wayne Baerwaldt, the show includes artists from Winnipeg (and former Winnipeggers)...
