SATELLiTE: In Orbit has published its first interview - “The Digital Fourth Wall: Natasha Beaudoin and Moira Hayes in conversation.” 😈 ❤️ 🫠
This new text coincides with the upcoming exhibition of the same name from Western University MFA candidates Natasha Beaudoin and Moira Hayes, on view in the Cohen Commons, John Labatt Visual Arts Centre, from June 26 - July 10, 2025.
Beaudoin and Hayes each study the evolving Gen Z culture that emerges online and penetrates the real, offline world. Their work meets at the intersection of reality and this generational view through a screen. Their upcoming exhibition presents a series of portraits, the traditional media but always with a twist.
Read this longform conversation between Moira and Natasha on SATTELiTE’s newly designed website. Their interview took place on May 27, 2025, behind the John Labatt Visual Arts Centre at Western University. “In the shade of the trees beside the Antler River (the Thames River), we sat next to the water, with birds and bugs flying about.”
The opening reception for “The Digital Fourth Wall” is Thursday, July 26, from 5:30-7PM.
SATELLiTE: In Orbit is seeking Fanshawe and Western student pitches for publication: exhibition reviews, reflections on your own curated exhibitions, artist profiles, interviews, close considerations of specific works, and varied approaches to art writing. We pay nominal honoraria for published texts. Find out more on our website (link in bio).
