The feature exhibit, Vietnam: Journeys of Body, Mind & Spirit from the American Museum of Natural History in New York City, will examine the rich customs and traditions of Vietnam through colourful objects such as masks, textiles, ceramics and rich photographs. Seven Stories, will share the personal stories of seven immigrants who left their homeland to begin new lives in Canada.

Finally, we will showcase Glenbow Museum’s magnificent permanent Asian gallery, Many Faces, Many Paths: Art of Asia with over eighty world-class sculptures including rare pieces from Cambodia, China, and Thailand symbolizing ancient religions and mythologies.

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.

  • Crude Optimism Romanticizing Alberta’S Oil Frontier at the Calgary Stampede Kimberly Skye Richards
    Crude Optimism Romanticizing Alberta’s Oil Frontier at the Calgary Stampede Kimberly Skye Richards An immaculate young woman regally waves at a sea of enthusiastic fans. Perched on her head is a white cowboy hat embellished with a tiara that has “Calgary Stampede Queen” written on it in rhinestones. She is a vision of “westernness” in cowboy boots, a buckskin skirt and jacket, and turquoise jewels. Her express purpose this hot July afternoon is to welcome the 115,000 folks attending the “Greatest Outdoor Show on Earth,” the Calgary Exhibition and Stampede. She is a “welcome figure,”1 like those white-cowboy-hat-wearing individuals in the Calgary air- port who stand in the arrivants’ path and greet travelers. These performances of western hospi- tality amount to a performance of power: the assertion of settler rights to land.2 They are just 1. I borrow this term from Stó:lō scholar Dylan Robinson’s essay “Welcoming Sovereignty,” which examines Indigenous sovereignty and gestures of welcome that take place in spaces of transit and gathering (2016:24). 2. In using the term “settler” to describe non-Indigenous people living in western Canada, I am referring to the idea within settler colonial studies that being a settler is not an identity, but a structural position and experience of power and privilege. Settlers settle into land appropriated by imperial nations and create independent homelands for themselves. They are defined by conquest; they are “founders of political orders and carry their sovereignty TDR: The Drama Review 63:2 (T242) Summer 2019. ©2019 138 New York University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Downloaded from http://www.mitpressjournals.org/doi/pdf/10.1162/dram_a_00839 by guest on 26 September 2021 Student Essay Contest Winner Kimberly Skye Richards is a PhD Candidate in Performance Studies at the University of California-Berkeley.

  • Artifacts from Our Future Mavericks
    Artifacts From Our Future Mavericks Examining Personal Objects as to How Future Historians May Examine Our Life and Times Introduction Students need to understand that historical thinking is a process whereby students are challenged to rethink assumptions about the past and to re- imagine both the present and the future. Historical thinking allows students to develop a sense of time and place to help define their identities. It helps students to approach issues with an inquiring mind and exercise sound judgment when presented with new information or a new perspective. What is a primary historical source? How do historians examine primary historical sources? How will I be remembered in the future? How do I want to be remembered? Project Explanation In this project, students will develop an appreciation of critical and creative thinking as they undertake the historical process of examining personal “primary historical sources”. They will bring to school objects, photos, documents or even maps that have a great deal of significance for them or their families. They will then approach their objects in the same manner a Glenbow Museum historian would by conducting an object-based inquiry.
