Tina Bryan | Radiant Reflections

October 4 - November 8 | Open House October 4 – 1 pm to 3 pm | Photography for me is a study of the seasons, knowing when to go to certain places to find the ethereal lighting, colours, textures and composition. So it is the adventure, the awe inspiring moments when I’m caught speechless by natures magic. Like floating in my kayak on Jewel Lake in the morning mist and meeting with the loons.

TORQU3 | Truck Arts Collective

August 16 – November 8 | Opening Reception August 15 – 6 pm to 9 pm | TRUCK is a full throttle arts collective of artists Drew Pardy, Emily Neufeld, and Annie Canto. TRUCK formed in an effort to explore resourcefulness and its ties to masculinity observed by the artists' upbringings in rural towns across the continent. Through labour-based performances documented in large format photos and looping videos, the artists explore gender identity, rural/urban communities, and the patriarchal labour culture that abounds in extractive industries. Across projects, TRUCK's fashionable if not industrious avatars interact with the truck simultaneously as a stage, mark making device, resting place, workbench, confidant, adversary, and dress-up closet.

Shifting Design III | David Dobie

The stand-alone objects are re-manufactured trees which in time could be assumed to be what a forest is, and by our social nature assimilated as real. The concept of taking the drawings on paper attached to wood frameworks to become trees emphasizes the extent to which we as humans will travel to justify the costs of our desires. Join us on February 1st at 1 pm to hear David's Artist Talk.

Royalty | Lars Baggenstos

The up to seven foot tree trunks are shaped with chainsaws and chisels into the human figure. Just one crucial part is missing: the head. Fragile and headless they stand in the public space. As if they lost their senses somewhere. And in a desperate measure these wooden bodies try to replace the void between their shoulders with up rooted tree stumps, the trash from clear cuts. These ill fitting crowns question the human as the pinnacle of evolution.
