Jonas St. Michael – Gore, Quebec & Members Only

July 30–September 4, 2010 in the Main Gallery

Opening Reception: Friday July 30 at 8:00 PM

Artist talk with Jonas St. Michael: Friday July 30 at 7:00 PM

Jonas St. Michael’s Gore, Quebec is centred on “Kerr’s Farm”, a turn-of-the-century farmhouse that eventually became a hotel and later a retreat for the disabled. In his photographs, St. Michael explores the tension between the timeless historical appearance of the place and it’s contemporary uses, reflected in a fragmentary narrative he creates through photographs of the locale and its inhabitants, including mentally disabled people who have been pushed out of mainstream society into this semi-real realm. Additionally, in Members Only, St. Michael looks into exclusive, private club spaces cordoned off by class, gender, politics and religion.

Not Another Fucking Landscape

Zachary Ayotte, Ted Kerr, Amie Rangel & Marshall Watson, curated by Anthony Easton

July 30–September 4, 2010 in the ProjEx Room

Opening Reception: Friday July 30 at 8:00 PM

Curator's talk with Anthony Easton: Saturday July 31 at 2:00 PM

Fascinated by the forms of Canadian landscape traditions, from the nineteenth-century and the Group of Seven to the contemporary, Anthony Easton found an urbanized, localized landscape praxis in this group of Edmonton photographers who interrogate the Alberta identity in work that turns away from the rural. The work picks up the relationship of Alberta to the rest of the country and to the regional narratives of political power around Steven Harper's government.
