Roja Aslani - Nostalgia Isn't What it Used to be
More Info | + My Favorites
Feb 03 to Feb 13
This series examines armchair nostalgia—a longing for a past that has never been lived. This can take the form of nostalgia towards past film and fiction. The work explores this theme through fan culture, souvenirs, and the fans themselves (for example, Star Trek fans, or “Trekkies”). Aslani asks questions about how fictional nostalgic objects manifest physically, and how they function in reality. She uses these quotidian objects as mnemonic aids for my models (non-actors in their own homes). As the model re-enacts the film from memory, Aslani documents the temporal act and presents the unaltered photo to the viewer.

Scott Rogers - Wireframe
More Info | + My Favorites
Feb 03 to Feb 13
Wireframe is a site-specific installation that uses photo-luminescent tape to trace the unique architecture of the main gallery at Stride. Inspired by early ’80s science-fiction film sets, video games, and AutoCAD, Wireframe creates tension between real and virtual space, converting the gallery into an immersive three-dimensional drawing. Through this ‘drawing’ process, the individuality of the site is revealed, positioning the gallery as a collaborator in the work. This empathetic turn creates a radical shift of perspective amongst audience members, proposing an inter-subjective relationship; we program the gallery while the gallery simultaneously programs us.

Scott Rogers would like to acknowledge the financial support of the Alberta Creative Development Initiative in the production of this work.

Mixed Signals: Artists Consider Masculinity in Sport
More Info | + My Favorites
Apr 30 to Sep 04
Friday, April 30, 2010 to Saturday, September 4, 2010

Mixed Signals: Artists Consider Masculinity in Sport
Artists: Matthew Barney, Mark Bradford, Marcelino Gonçalves, Lyle Ashton Harris, Brian Jungen, Kurt Kauper, Shaun El C. Leonardo, Kori Newkirk, Catherine Opie, Paul Pfeiffer, Marco Rios, Collier Schorr, Joe Sola, Sam Taylor-Wood, Hank Willis Thomas
Curator: Christopher Bedford
Medium: Mixed Media
Gallery: All

Mixed Signals: Artists Consider Masculinity in Sports, is an exhibition about contemporary art that deals with the subject of the male athlete. This particular artistic theme has become increasingly prevalent during the past several years, building upon several decades of discourse about identity and gender. Including artists ranging from such well-known individuals as Matthew Barney, Catherine Opie, Collier Schorr, and Sam Taylor-Wood to emerging talents such as Shaun El C. Leonardo and Joe Sola, Mixed Signals demonstrates that the male athlete is a far more ambiguous, polyvalent figure in our collective cultural imagination than ever before.
