The public support\, dissemination\, and celebration of this collaborative project continues. \nThe full collection of Print(ed) Word artist books were permanently installed in Calgary’s landmark Central Library in November 2018\, which was followed by a series of public artists talks throughout 2019 and the development of a mini-documentary series that was publicly released in 2020.  Click on each of the artist books listed below to view each mini-documentary.  \nArtist/Writer pairs and their collaborations\n\nDeep Cold on 11A by Aritha van Herk (writer) and Eveline Kolijn (artist)\nWhen a Warm Wind Blows off the Mountains by Susan Calder (writer) and Sylvia Arthur (artist)\nMy Mother Closing the Mouth of the War by Richard Harrison (writer) and Barbara Sutherland (artist)\nHow to Build a Street Girl by Lee Kvern (writer) and Carole Bondaroff (artist)\nThe Hunters by Jani Krulc (writer) and Ryan Statz (artist)\nHymenoptera by Doug Neilson (writer) and Heather Huston (artist)\nRouleauville by Rona Altrows (writer) and Carolyn Qualle (artist)\nISOBARS by Weyman Chan (writer) and Kate Baillies (artist)\nSwimming with Sharks by Elena Schacherl (writer) and Heather Urness (artist)\nSaturday Afternoon at the Calgary Exhibition and Stampede\, 1977 by Barb Howard (writer) and Sally Reesman (writer)\nThe Night Will Be Long But Beautiful: The Life and Death of Jeff Lakes by Erin Vance (writer) and Tim van Wijk (artist)\nMezzo Milimetro by Caitlynn Cummings (writer) and Wendy Tokaryk (artist)\n\n  \nAcknowledgements\nThe creation of this project was made possible through the generous support of the Canada Council for the Arts\, the partnership between A/P and Loft 112\, with special thanks to Carrie Phillips-Kieser and Lisa Murphy Lamb and 24 participating artists and writers. \nThe permanent exhibition\, 2019 Salon Series\, and Print(ed) Word Documentary were made possible through the generous support of the J K L MacLachlan Family Foundation together with the Calgary Public Library Foundation and the Calgary Public Library.

SUMMARY:The Integrity of a Story by Jenie Gao
DESCRIPTION:About the Exhibition\n“My mother lives in a rural area of Kansas\, threatened in recent years by encroaching suburbanization. Since 2024\, my spouse and I have taken turns visiting my mother to help her with house repairs and to assert our presence to overly inquisitive realtors and developers eager to displace older residents. \nThe centrepiece of this exhibition is a TV tray table in my mother’s home\, where we share our meals. In this modest and intimate setting\, my mother steps into one of her most profound roles as our family’s knowledge keeper. Her stories—simultaneously historical\, allegorical\, almost mythic\, and sometimes prophetic—come alive. \nIn one story\, my mother explains how she sees herself\, brave and capable of doing things alone. When she was a child in Taiwan\, her family rented her a third-story bedroom separate from their first floor flat. Every night\, she had to ascend the staircase outside into the mountains under the watchful eyes of mountain lions. \nIn another story\, my mother shares that the character for Yuàn 苑 in her name means “garden of the immortals\,” or “the deer garden where the emperor’s sons practice their hunting.” As I admire the poetry of her name\, my mother laughs at the irony of her family naming her after imperials and celestial beings who would have never troubled themselves over the problems of working class mortals. Her family by then had suffered repeated losses of language and home under multiple occupying governments\, including the Japanese and the Chinese Nationalists. Years later after our family immigrated\, my grandparents would lose their house again when the US government eminent domained their neighbourhood for a freeway project. \nThe Deer Garden woodblock features a Formosan Sika Deer and Clouded Leopard in a continuous\, cyclical chase. The woodcut is designed to resemble a piece of hand-carved jade\, with the final block inlaid into the surface of a TV tray table. \nThe works in this exhibition capture moments when my mother’s stories are suspended between a child’s imagination and an elder’s recollection\, one in which there might truly have been lions in Taiwan’s mountains\, or perhaps an elusive Clouded Leopard before habitat loss caused them to die out and disappear.  \nThe mountain lions of my mother’s childhood ended up being feral cats. The white-tailed deer my mother watches from her window are in the heart of the rural Americana Midwest. Yet for a moment\, as she passes her stories to my stewardship and safekeeping\, the common becomes mythic. \nThe works in this exhibition are part of my ongoing series called The Negotiation Table\, in which I take hand-carved woodblocks and transform them into sites of negotiation. This transformation responds to the history of how print became indoctrinated in the fine arts\, in contrast to its use in community activation and protest. To compete with high art forms\, it became best practice to destroy printing plates to make prints artificially rare. I have always been uncomfortable with destroying evidence of labour in favour of rarifying the asset. I reflect on the tension of assimilation and resistance within printmaking\, as a person of Taiwanese and Chinese descent who has been made artificially rare via ongoing exclusionary policies in white dominant spaces. I reclaim printmaking as a tool of abundance and presence. \nVia this work\, I interweave the personal and political\, to strengthen local-global perspectives of colonization’s impact. I share my family’s stories as a frame through which we can better understand one another as different peoples connected through shared struggles—and shared imaginings for something beyond what our stories seem to be.” \nArtist Bio:  \nJenie Gao (they/she) has run an anti-gentrification arts business since 2014\, specializing in printmaking\, public art\, social practice\, and community storytelling. They consult for cultural organizations and the public sector on equity and ethics. \nJenie pulls from experiences as a second generation Taiwanese-Chinese American and a descendant of working class immigrants. Prior to founding their business\, Jenie worked in the museum industry\, public education\, and lean manufacturing. Through their cross section of experiences\, Jenie has become attuned to issues of artists’ labour\, cultural power\, and institutional accountability. They run a paid apprenticeship program and have thus far mentored 25 emerging artists. \nJenie has a BFA in Printmaking/Drawing from Washington University in St. Louis and an MFA from Emily Carr University of Art + Design. Their work is in 40 institutional collections including Bainbridge Island Museum of Art\, Bowdoin College\, Cornell University\, Stanford University\, and the Library of Congress. Their recent exhibits include Museum of Wisconsin Art\, Trout Museum of Art\, Burnaby Village Museum\, Cedarburg Museum\, and South Bend Museum of Art. Their work has been included in publications such as PBS\, Shoutout LA\, and Fête Chinoise. Their art residencies include Women’s Studio Workshop in Kingston\, New York; Art in the Park with Vancouver Board of Parks & Recreation: Decolonization\, Art\, & Culture; Ma’s House in the Shinnecock Reservation in Southampton\, New York; Iowa Lakeside Laboratory in Okoboji\, Iowa; the Bubbler at Madison Public Library in Madison\, Wisconsin; Artist Campaign School in Chicago\, Illinois; Proyecto’ace in Buenos Aires\, Argentina; and Museo de Arte Moderno in Chile. They are a TEDx Madison speaker and gave a talk entitled The Power and Purpose of Creativity. \nJenie Gao is the recently appointed Executive Director of Centre A: Vancouver International Centre for Contemporary Asian Art.

SUMMARY:Intro to Stone Lithography
DESCRIPTION:About the workshop:\nLet us demystify stone lithography! A process that is more than 200 years old and uses an image drawn on a limestone to make hundreds of prints! In this process\, an image is drawn using greasy materials. You can even use butter! The painterly marks achieved are unmatched to other techniques. Lucky for us\, Alberta Printmakers is one of the few places in the province that offers lithography stones and equipment for use!  \nThis course is suitable for all levels with no prior experience needed. Participants will learn how to prepare\, draw\, etch\, and print a litho stone to make a small edition.  \nWhat you’ll learn: ​​​​\n\nHow to prepare a grain\, level and prepare a litho stone\nDrawing techniques for lithography\nHow to etch a litho stone\nHow to prepare paper for registration\nHow to print a lithograph  properly using the press\n\n\nAbout the instructor:\nJamie-Lee Girodat completed a Bachelor of Fine Arts at the University of Lethbridge and a Master of Fine Arts in Printmaking at the University of Alberta.
