SUMMARY:The Invention Moves in
DESCRIPTION:About the Exhibition\nThe Invention Moves in – exhibition essay by Tracy Wormsbecker  \n“An invention starts as a curiosity\, extra to what seems necessary. We may regard it at first from a mental distance of amusement or amazement\, as something bizarre or exotic. Then\, if successful\, the invention moves in\, bringing pandemonium. Like a rearrangement of our furniture\, it treacherously alters familiar terrain. It disrupts habits\, roughs up values\, and generally remould us- drastically\, like the automobile; subtly like the microchip – into different people in a different kind of world.” – Peter Schjeldahl\, “The Instant Age\,” in Legacy of Light\, ed. Constance Sullivan.  \nAlthough it was written to introduce a book celebrating the Polaroid instant photograph as “the climax of the invention cycle” and “one of photography’s most extraordinary advances\,” this passage\, which is perhaps more relevant in today’s digital terrain\, echoes through Michelle Brownridge’s current exhibition. Since the advent of digital technology\, the rate of technological advancement and its pervasive role in contemporary life seems to be accelerating dramatically. Amidst the quickening cycle of new replacing the old. The Invention Moves In invites us to take pause. Through her thoughtful selection of media and subject matter\, Brownridge artfully underscores the outdated within a contemporary context and invites us to re-examine our understanding of the obsolete and its perceived value in the modern world.  \nIn her process\, Brownridge uses both an iPhone and original Polaroid instant film to capture the images shown throughout this exhibit. While the result is similar\, a more conspicuous comparison is achieved through contrasting modern and antiquated printing techniques by layering each digitally enlarged image and printed photograph with stone lithography. Although we may initially be drawn to the digitally printed photographic images\, it is the lithographed patterns sourced from security envelopes\, which cover each scene that lends a distinct and authentic aesthetic quality to each piece. Demonstrating the influential presence that modern digital technology has in print media\, Brownridge compels us to engage with the traditional method and successfully illustrates that while it may be considered obsolete in comparison\, it continues to share this presence.  \nHer carefully chosen imagery likewise incites an alluring engagement with the obsolete. By depicting scenes and objects that are readily identified as outdated and technologically archaic by modern standards\, Brownridge entices us with nostalgic sentiment for a previous time and place. But when can we confidently locate these images in time? It may be reasonable to assume that they were photographed several years\, even decades ago\, yet digital processes including iphone photography reveal that they actually exist in a current time and place. Brownridge aims to elicit this confusion and by doing so\, suggest biased perceptions of contemporary life that are skewed towards the latest invention\, which\, as the opening quote states\, “alters familiar terrain” into what we come to interpret as a “different kind of world.” The modern and outdated tend to be seen as mutually exclusive – the former belonging to the contemporary; the latter belonging to the past – and not residing in the same contemporary context. As Brownridge illustrates however\, they do indeed coexist.  \nAs the old continues to give way to what is newer and often viewed as more exciting\, the world and our perceptions of it are indeed rearranged and remoulded. What was once new quickly becomes outdated and subsequently seems to carry an inherent quality of loss. Disregarded as obsolete\, the outdated may therefore not be considered relevant in a contemporary context. Through this exhibition\, Brownridge reminds us that the outdated coexists with the contemporary and retains a certain siginific=gancer and appeal; as invention continues to move in\, the obsolete and its influence persist.  \nAbout the Artist\nMichelle Brownridge studied print media at the University of Regina. She has participated in print exchanges across North America including Miami\, Chicago\, Buffalo and Seattle\, and has exhibited in a number of group shows in Canada. Her work is also represented in permanent collections at the University of Regina\,as well as the PrintZero Studios Collection in Seattle. This is her first exhibition in Calgary.

SUMMARY:Paul Mitchell
DESCRIPTION:About the Exhibition\nSo Close Yet So Far: Paul Mitchell’s Transmedia Yearning – exhibition essay by Mario Trono  \nWhen philosopher Slavoj Zizek looks for meaning in a horror film\, he suggests we should ignore whatever specifically causes the horror. Only then can we see the real content—the real horror—of the film’s story.This critical maneuver yields interesting results: Psycho becomes a film about women’s lives in a woman-hating society\, Alien a piece about exploited workers under capitalism\, and The Cabin in the Woods a treatise on humanism dying under consumerism. \nIt’s an interesting test for art of any type. \nSo. What happens if one disregards the ostensible or most obviously apparent contents of Paul Mitchell’s prints—the fragments of faces and bodies\, the letters limned by a line of ink\, the cartoon fang\, the facade of a house\, the tangle of trees and fencing? \nAnswer: Evidence of the intaglio printmaking process itself having taken place\, the scoring of surfaces and the subsequent insertion of ink into the resultant cavities\, a materially intimate act. And it is that act—the forceful and intentional manipulation of media to get one thing into another—that reflects the broader theme of this exhibition\, which is the restless\, transmedia urge to explode out of form\, content\, representation\, and materiality to forcibly (desperately? humanly?) connect with the Viewer-Other to ask\, “ls this Darkness in you too?” \nThe other formal elements of this exhibition\, beyond the prints\, inscribe and express a hunger to enter into a state of co­-consciousness with Beholders of the work\, as if a benevolent demon yearned to redeem possession and elevate it to sublimity\, but\, unable to bridge space and time\, had to turn to art and was trying everything! The exhibition’s various forms of expression attempt collectively to vault the Void ‘twixt self and other.The abstraction of the prints and their associative transmogrification of the mundane muck of urban dwelling attempts to draw you into the mystery of an Other’s psyche. Text whispers here\, and there\, evoking typographic language and the auditory register in ghostly fashion\, and since Word always implies Reader\, it is another call to you\,Viewer-Other\, from the hungry demon beyond the representation\, beyond the paper that stretches from ceiling to floor\, ensuring you maybe see Him\, maybe glimpse a shadow beyond surfaces\, as light from windows and spots plays its games\, the light of world paradoxically suggesting the dark of disconnection. \nThis transmedia\, itinerant\, and restless yearning for You finds further expression in the conceptual enactment provided by Amanda Schoofs\, an enactment that underscores the show’s theme of graphical-textual dissemination as a form of yearning for connection. Her costume is “composed” of the exhibition’s versions of this theme\, and since it materially spills onto the floor that the gallery-walking Other treads\, it reveals itself as another bid to traverse the gap between representation and represented\, and thus\, between viewed and viewer.That the costume remains as a relic of that effort is another echo that a Self was here\, moving in\, through\, and around the art\, a Self calling to you through materiality made significant. Be not fooled by Schoofs’ mock\, staged reading from The Plinth-Propped Book That Purports to Mean. (How could such meaning be stable when the “reading” is improvised?) Her performance is finally indeterminate in meaning because latent content is not the point.The overall exhibition is not about the yearning for connection\, for the inauguration of the co­-consciousness that art desperately hopes can come into being. It is a debris field of signification that provides evidence of an attempt to make it happen. \nCan it ever happen? Were it to\, art would disappear\, for there would be no need anymore to express oneself to other—Other would finally be Self. Today\, here\, now? We are at least able to embrace the consolation of Mitchell’s art\, art that at least lets you know that the Other is thinking of you.
