Yvonne Mullock: Why don’t you…
February 6, 2026 – April 30, 2026
Exhibition Details
Yvonne Mullock’s exhibition
Mullock’s practice interrogates iconic symbols of dominant culture, such as the Stetson hat, while creating space for underrepresented perspectives to participate in these cultural narratives. Her work frequently incorporates community involvement, embodiment, and elements of performance, adding multidimensionality to a practice that values process as much as outcome. Ultimately, Mullock’s work reinforces that the boundaries between high and low art, fine art and craft, are outdated—and that working within these blurred spaces generates rich and insightful artistic inquiry.
Yvonne Mullock is a multi-disciplinary artist whose practice spans textiles, sculpture, video, print, and ceramics. Her work challenges traditional modes of making by incorporating unconventional tools and materials, often engaging audiences through time-based performances and sculptural installations. Recent exhibitions include PROOFREAD at the University of Alberta’s FAB Gallery (2024), Harmonia at The Esplanade Arts and Heritage Centre (2021), and Gift-Love for the Art Gallery of Alberta’s Manning Hall Commission (2019). Her work is held in the permanent collections of the Alberta Foundation for the Arts, The Esplanade Arts and Heritage Centre, and the Glenbow Museum. Mullock is currently based in Moh’kinstsis / Calgary, Alberta on Treaty 7 territory.
