The collections are presented in Discover what happens exhibitions at Glenbow and on loan nationally and internationally. They are a behind-the-scenes to critical tool in our educational programs make the collection for connecting the past with today and the future. So much museum work – accessible and relevant. acquiring and preserving the collections – goes on behind-the-scenes. But this work is critical to ensuring we care for and provide access to the collections for all our visitors in the long term. With most major museums being able to display between only three to five percent of their collections at any given time, the general public has little knowledge of the acquisition and preservation activities that go on behind- the-scenes. Who donates to the museum? What happens when a new piece is donated? What are some of the new and exciting acquisitions? How are we presenting our collections in new ways? Let Glenbow take you behind- the-scenes to discover some of the recent ways in which we grow and care for the collections to ensure we make them accessible and relevant. 1 ANNUAL REPORt 2008-2009 | GLENBOW MUSEUM PRESIDENT’s anD Chair’s Message GLENBOW HAS EXPERIENCED SIGNIFICANT CHANGE program, adequate increases in resources did not this past year.

  • 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.

  • William Leroy “Roy” Stevenson Exhibition History And
    WILLIAM LEROY “ROY” STEVENSON EXHIBITION HISTORY AND CHRONOLOGY compiled by Chris Varley and Nancy Townshend “I believe he [William Leroy Stevenson] was one of Canada’s greatest artists, especially as a landscape painter.” Maxwell Bates in a letter dated February 19, 1976 to Terry Fenton, Art Gallery of Alberta Archives. “We were of enormous help to each other; of that I am sure.” Maxwell Bates, “The Painter WLS: a Memoir, 2” Maxwell Bates fonds, 439/89.1, Box/file 10.2, Special Collections, Taylor Family Digital Library, University of Calgary. Illingworth Kerr; “Maxwell Bates, Dramatist”, Canadian Art, Vol. XIII, No. 4, Summer 1956: “After high school he [Bates] became associated with his father in architecture, though his real passion was for painting. The idea of nationalism in Canadian art did not affect him. Self-taught, except for two years in evening classes, he became influenced by Gauguin, van Gogh and Cézanne. When his work was shown in Calgary in 1928 it shocked the local artists, public and press. Though he exhibited in Vancouver, Ottawa and New York, the home town remained unimpressed.” His chief sustaining force was a fellow painter, Roy Stevenson, with whom Bates made a stimulating visit to the Chicago Art Institute.” 1905 May 25 - born in Guelph, Ontario Born with infantile paralysis: had a lame club foot. “Parents did not give him any encouragement to paint. Nonetheless he thought only about art.” 2 Gerry Stevenson (brother of Roy) in an interview with Nancy Townshend, October 31, 1988, as quoted by Nancy Townshend, A History of Art in Alberta 1905 – 1970 (Calgary: Bayeux Arts, 2005) 2.

While most of the arts community in Alberta understands the importance of Katie Ohe’s sculptures, public and private commissions, teaching legacy, and generations of mentorship; this exhibition aims to introduce her singular practice to a larger audience outside of this province, and to champion her significance as one of Canada’s most important artists. In the Project Space, we round out our partnership with Calgary’s artist- run centres with Anna Gustafson’s Object Lessons, presented by The New Gallery. Gustafson’s practice highlights the waste of work. Turning to the endless supply of discarded small appliances as her material starting point; Gustafson enshrouds toasters, irons, kettles, stereo equipment, and remote controls in white linen to narrate multiple readings of power, vulnerability, ritual, and destruction. Since the fall of 2015, we have been quietly working on a project called Permanent Collection.

Open to all current AUArts students, the seminar focused on freelance art writing for emerging artists and writers, and covered topics ranging from copyediting and communicating with editors to financial management and contracts. Following the seminar, students were invited to submit letters of interest and short writing samples in application for the program, and eight students were selected to participate: Carmen Belanger, oualie frost, Caro Ging, Levin Ifko, Meghan Ivany, Chantal Lafond, Raewyn Reid, and Yuii Savage. Continuing into April of 2020, the participants took part in a series of workshops and editing sessions led by Clintberg to develop written responses both to exhibitions on campus and within the community. Award-winning senior art critic Nancy Tousley was invited to lead an editing session and provide feedback on the students’ writing.
