We heard that what we do, teach and learn here at ACAD is one of the most important commodities of the new knowledge economy. We grow the artistic and creative process and teach capacity to think laterally and to innovate. Centre for Creativity + + for Creativity Centre This fall, the College will leverage this inherent capacity and Calgary will become home to the Centre of Entrepreneurship (CCE) Entrepreneurship Excellence in Creativity and Entrepreneurship.

  • CURTIS CUTSHAW Born in Edmonton, Alberta 1967 Lives in Calgary, Alberta
    CURTIS CUTSHAW Born in Edmonton, Alberta 1967 Lives in Calgary, Alberta Artist Statement Curtis Cutshaw’s paintings show us how a painting is made. Each step of the Artist’s process can be seen. Each choice is there for the viewer to unravel, as if stopped in time. Each piece shows a choice, a step forward to the final realization of the complete painting. Fractured and deconstructed images on individual birch wood tiles create a sense of removal of meaning. Scratched, rubbed, marked, erased and distressed images hint at repurposing and the multiple pieces appear to have had a history, where in fact the artist creates them. The viewers’ mind wants to reassemble the pieces and use what is there to create what is not there. Cutshaw does not allow for the accidental. The works may appear spontaneous, yet every piece, every mark; whether it is painted, drawn or scratched, is intentional and created by the artist. The artists’ touch, his hand and his construction are at the center of each work. Cutshaw has an ongoing dialogue with the picture plane. Depending on what the artist does with each piece in the painting, he either adds to or denies spatial reference. A mark scratched into the surface flattens the picture plane, denying illusionistic space, bringing the viewers’ eye to the surface; where half of a circle implies the whole, creating illusionistic space. Through Cutshaw’s paintings, the viewer can experience this dichotomy and the viewer is able to see one choice and a thousand choices through assemblage. Each shape is a record of a moment that can be seen, experienced, and arrived.

  • Goose Lane Editions Fall 2018 Where to Begin? with a Heartbeat
    Goose Lane Editions Fall 2018 Where to begin? With a heartbeat. A word. An image. Fall 2018. A season of provocation, of entertainment, of complete absorption. A season of ideas. And of emotion. “This is where the heart of feminism beats.” — Annie Lennox on Powered by Love This fall our selection of new titles includes books destined for everyone’s reading list: a provocative (and yes, decidedly controversial) book on the myths of mammography by investigative journalist Renée Pellerin; a memoir of a river by one of Canada’s best nature writers, Wayne Curtis; and the first of two volumes on the Great Trail by hiker extraordinaire Michael Haynes. “Blunt, honest and well-researched.” — Flurt on F-Bomb Readers will be entranced by fabled lawman Strother Purcell in Ian Weir’s deadpan revisionist western and pulled into the undertow of history in Paul Carlucci’s ravaged high-rise of the north. In icehouse poetry, renowned poet Patricia Young and first-book author Dominque Bernier-Cormier will encourage readers to cast their gaze on a pungent, pulsating universe. Full stop. And then, with much ado, we’ll unveil a dazzling array of illustrated books, including three distinctive books of photography. ...Everything Remains Raw records the evolution of the Toronto hip hop scene through graffiti, magazine shoots, and behind-the-scenes documentary photographs. The Lost City documents the vanished neighbourhoods of Saint John razed by the progress of “urban development” in arresting, black-and-white photographs by Ian MacEachern. In One Wave, Ned Pratt transforms the Newfoundland landscape into distillations of form and colour — without a hint of nostalgia.

(c) 1997 Terry Fenton CANADIAN PRAIRIE WATERCOLOUR LANDSCAPES I VISITORS WEST FOR THE PURPOSES OF watercolour landscape painting in prairie Canada (with the exception of Paul Kane and Lewis Hine who traveled overland earlier in the century and were concerned primarily with documentation) our history begins in 1887 when William Van Horne, then general manager and subsequently president of the Canadian Pacific Railway. Van Horne issued railroad passes to artists, encouraging them to paint scenery from the interior of the new country — especially what were to become the mountain parks. He shrewdly judged that the images would attract both tourists and settlers both of whom would be obliged to use the railway. In a sense, this use repeated the conditions of the Grand Tour as well as Turner’s visits to the Alps and Italy in search of the picturesque and the sublime: both the purpose and character of the trip and the scenery pursued were English in spirit — one can imagine the artists perusing and applying the principles of Ruskin’s Modern Painters throughout the journey. Equally English were the means chosen — the artists worked from nature in watercolour as often as not, and produced large “exhibition watercolours” based upon them. They also painted oils, but like so many of their British counterparts of the day, their oils tended to be still and pedestrian.

    DAVEANDJENN Whenever It Hurts January 19 - February 23, 2019 Opening: Saturday January 19, 3 - 6 pm artists in attendance detail: “Play Bow” In association with TrépanierBaer Gallery, photos by: M.N. Hutchinson GENERAL HARDWARE CONTEMPORARY 1520 Queen Street West, Toronto, M6R 1A4 www.generalhardware.ca Hours: Wed. - Sat., 12 - 6 pm email: [email protected] 416-821-3060 DaveandJenn (David Foy and Jennifer Saleik) have collaborated since 2004. Foy was born in Edmonton, Alberta in 1982; Saleik in Velbert, Germany, in 1983. They graduated with distinction from the Alberta College of Art + Design in 2006, making their first appearance as DaveandJenn in the graduating exhibition. Experimenting with form and materials is an important aspect of their work, which includes painting, sculpture, installation, animation and digital video. Over the years they have developed a method of painting dense, rich worlds in between multiple layers of resin, slowly building up their final image in a manner that is reminiscent of celluloid animation, collage and Victorian shadow boxes. DaveandJenn are two times RBC Canadian Painting Competition finalists (2006, 2009), awarded the Lieutenant Governor of Alberta’s Biennial Emerging Artist Award (2010) and longlisted for the Sobey Art Award (2011). DaveandJenn’s work was included in the acclaimed “Oh Canada” exhibition curated by Denise Markonish at MASS MoCA – the largest survey of contemporary Canadian art ever produced outside of Canada. Their work can be found in both private and public collections throughout North America, including the Royal Bank of Canada, the Alberta Foundation for the Arts, the Calgary Municipal Collection and the Art Gallery of Hamilton.

  • Fall Exhibitions & Programs Brochure
    ESKER FOUNDATION Fall 2019 Esker Foundation 3/32 WELCOME WE WELCOME YOU This fall we present the work of Hudson-based artist Jeffrey Gibson and Toronto-based artist Nep Sidhu. Both articulate complex histories and the contemporary struggle to uphold, dismiss, or renegotiate these narratives through work that is itself dense, culturally specific, and technically magnificent. Both artists favour collaboration as a way to expand practice, open conversation, and create community. Presenting their work together for the first time, Esker endeavours to create space for cross-cultural communication to flourish, and for difficult conversations to happen. As an institution we acknowledge it can be far more important to reflect on how we listen rather than reacting to what we hear. While working on these two exhibitions over the last year it has become increasingly clear that although both artists have a fierce commitment to material exploration, what resonates with me now is an underlying theme of inheritance. I borrow from the exhibition text of Jeffrey Gibson: heT Anthropophagic Effect at the New Museum this past spring: “Inheritance, of course, refers to what is handed down, usually through family, tradition, or even by chance. But it also points to other modes by which people come to own: the disposses- sion or erasure of others, for instance. Yet, whether by generosity or violence, inheritance leaves a trace; individual and collective bodies are marked by, and in turn mark, the objects and ideas they only 1 Jeffrey Gibson: The Jeffrey Gibson, 2019. temporarily possess.”1 Anthropophagic Effect.
