Meet Manny Brinton

Manny Brinton, Studio Art Student

"In my first year, I had the honour of having a painting I created in South Residence published in the Kaleidoscope magazine, the University's literary and arts magazine. This was a great opportunity to showcase my work to the public and be recognized alongside other talented students in the Studio Art Program."

Professor Christian Giroux

Professor Giroux has been making art with Daniel Young since 2002. They produce sculpture, public art and film installations. Their work is the product of an ongoing conversation concerning the modernity of the mid-century, the production of space, and the built environment. Young and Giroux won the 2011 Sobey Art Award and have had solo exhibitions at the Carleton University Art Gallery (2013); the Musée d’art Contemporain de Montréal (2011); the Southern Alberta Art Gallery, Lethbridge (2010); and Mercer Union, Toronto (2010).
