Sacha Kopelow, Author at Arts AccessAbility Network Manitoba

This is a poster advertising the visual art show opening of sculptor Sacha Kopelow. Large ‘neon’ pink letters radiating a pink glow declare the show’s name: ‘THESE ARE MY DISASTERS.’ The text is overtop an image of a crescent moon. A cast glass couple sits in the curve of the moon. The woman is fat, wearing a figure-hugging dress, and she has a prosthetic leg. She holds her hand up to her mouth in anguish, her head thrown back to look up at the heavens. The man is thin. His sleeves are rolled up to the elbow. He holds one hand behind the woman’s back, the other above his lap. The entire scene is awash in pink rays, but the two figures remain a shadowy cool white-blue. At the bottom of the poster is the information: ‘OPENING Feb 3, 6-9PM, 102-329 Cumberland Ave and aanm.ca/online-exhibitions.’ Along the poster’s edge are the small logos of Arts AccessAbility Network Manitoba and Canada Council for the Arts.

The drawing is titled with the phrase “I am a person with a disability”. In the bottom corner, on a green background, we find the show title: “#NotA,” and the information: opening Oct. 7, 6-9pm, 102-329 Cumberland Ave. Wpg and aanm.ca/online-exhibitions, as well as the logos for Arts AccessAbility Network Manitoba and Canada Council for the Arts.
