    Roseanne West - New Works

    Cypress Hills, Alberta O/C 32x48

    May 15 to 24
    Let Roseanne West remove the grey lens from your eyes that dulls the senses and tones down colour. Her work restores the raw vibrancy of the objects that share our world. From waves crashing on a tumultuous shore, to a dignified still life on a kitchen table, everything brought under West’s gaze demands attention, springing back to radiance and life. The world is far too intense to be reduced to greyscale – why not enjoy the ride? Send an Email Send an Email

    Interval by Lynda Gammon

    Opening reception May 16th at 8:00pm at the Stride Gallery

    May 16 Jun 21
    INTERVAL

    “Gammon's work -- which appears at first to consist of a chaotic black-and-white jumble of imprecisely arranged slices of gleaming foam core, shards of photography and a few bits of architectural modelling -- soon settles out into clearly improvised but deftly controlled assemblages that lie somewhere between built and derelict environments. “
    [Gary Michael Dault]

    Ideas of architecture, space, shelter, and inhabitation are considered through the disciplines of sculpture, performance, assemblage, photography and collage.
    Photographs are cut, re-photographed, enlarged, darkened, re-made, and thrown away, later to be retrieved. Randomly selected images (taken from the cardboard boxes which contain this ever expanding archive), are now glued next to one another, layered one on another, folded, refolded, taped and glued together. Combined with retrieved construction site and household refuse a fragile assemblage is barnacled to the gallery wall. Taken apart and re-built, edited and re-edited, spaces begin to construct themselves, doors open from one room to another. Existing only for the duration of the exhibition the assemblage is then broken apart in the process of removal, its parts returning to the archive as material for future works within this series of ongoing works called SALVAGED.

    Lynda Gammon, studied at The University of British Columbia, Simon Fraser University, [B.A. English] and York University [ M.F.A. 1983]. She has exhibited nationally and internationally and is currently an Associate Professor in the Visual Arts Department at the University of Victoria, teaching courses in Foundation Studies, Drawing, Photography, and Open Media.

    The Family Project by Lee Nielsen and Randy Gibson

    Opening reception July 17th, 2008 at 8:00pm in the +15 Walkway of The Epcor Centre for the Performing Arts

    Jun 1 Jul 31
    The Family Project is a collaborative effort between painter Lee Nielsen and photographer Randy Gibson. With the assistance of a local drag king troupe acting as models, Nielsen and Gibson have completed a series of photographs that address the family unit as a pervasive and institutionalized presence. The photographs involve the staging of allegorical compositions that loosely reference the language of Flemish and Baroque painting as well as Victorian portrait photography. The compositions are set up to refer to deeply entrenched ideals pertaining to family values and rites of passage.

    The work of Lee Nielsen is an exploration of the pictorial modes of drawing, painting and photography. Much of his work is focused on investigating the organization of the social sphere. He is actively engaged in exploring these ideas through the language of pictures. The construction and transmission of meaning through drawing, painting and photography is at the crux of the condition he has found himself in. Lee graduated from the Alberta College of Art and Design in 2008 as a painting major.

    Photography is Randy's primary focus of creativity, working as a freelance photographer full time. From his first film camera as a child to now, there is one thing that he has kept with him; a passion for composition, color, light. Being born and raised in Alberta has left its mark on the photographer’s creations forcing him between the world of the indoors and outdoors, always finding something new to shoot. 2008 marks Randy's first shows in the world of fine art.
