The Daylight Savings Society is an artist collective based in Winnipeg,
Manitoba, Treaty 1 Territory on Turtle Island (so-called Canada) est.
2023.
We are a collection of artists who met through our studies at the School
of Art at the University of Manitoba. The collective comprises artists
Skye Callow,
Scotland Cook,
Carlos Cruz,
Zoë LeBrun,
Kacper Stein, and
Morgan Traa. We are of diverse cultural and economic backgrounds, and of
intersecting identities.
We came together to find a community
where we can interrogate the crossing of mediums and to challenge what it
means to work interdisciplinarily (whatever that even means in the
contemporary moment). We are connected through a shared need to push the
mode of artistic creation. This coming together has empowered each of us
to create independently and collaboratively, and freely.
We are collectively interested in the following (and not limited to): What
it means to make work in a postcapitalist society, the ephemeral and
entropic degradation, the struggle of trying to live in a connected way in
an individualistically oriented world, the nuances of the human
experience, and the potentialities of technology and art making in
connection to ecology and the coming future. We are interested in creating
an artistic community that is not gate-kept and that is open, a place
where we can experiment with new and old technologies and processes, and a
place to interrogate contemporary artistic and social theory and
criticism. We’re happy to be here.
We just want to save a
little daylight.
