SUMMARY:Found in oblivion
DESCRIPTION:About the exhibition \nFound in oblivion is an exhibition in praise of lost places and people. It is an attempt to revive those memories which might have been forgotten over time\, a contemporary interpretation of historical images by bringing attention to old family photographs of Iranians. \nThis exhibition consists of four projects: \nDistorted memories includes old photographs of children folded in transparent papers with printed the pattern of Persian handwriting “Do you remember?” which is borrowed from the text that had been written at the back of one of the photographs. Using the transparent papers refers to the sheeting papers used in old family albums to protect the photos. \nWanderers series is an attempt to bring life back to abandoned houses\, it is a combination of contemporary photos of demolished and abandoned houses and the ghostlike figures of people taken from old family photos that have been printed on transparent papers. \nA letter to… is the embossment of texts and letters that were written at the back of photos and postcards on white papers in transparent envelopes that alludes to the concept of emerging and disappearing of memory and history at the same time. \nDisplacement a series of double layered frames shows people detached from their surrounding environment and places without people. It is an invitation to touch\, observe and discover memories and stories of distance and displacement. \nAbout the artist \nMelika Forouzan Pour was born in Tehran\, Iran in 1986. She graduated in the bachelor of Fine arts and Master of Arts in photography from the University of Tehran\, Iran. She took her second Master in Fine Arts from the University of Calgary. Over the years her focus shifted from photography to painting and printmaking. She explores place attachment and memory in her works. Her art pieces has been presented in exhibitions in Iran\, Britain and Canada. She has also published some articles in the field of family photography and collective memory in different\nIranian Art Journals. Melika has been living in Calgary since February 2021 and her pronouns are she/her.

SUMMARY:Zones / Indicators
DESCRIPTION:About the exhibition \n“My practice as an artist begins with the study and research of parallel places and ecosystems. I observe and identify how they mirror each other’s function and form\, and how\, through their similarities they are able to exhibit uniqueness. Studying these sites is especially important in the face of climate change\, as highly sensitive places like islands and alpine areas become more vulnerable to fluctuating temperatures\, rising lake and sea levels\, which in turn impacts the survival of flora and fauna in these vulnerable landscapes. Specifically\, awareness of the presence of indicator species such as the American Pika\, or the distribution of the Purple Pitcher plant demonstrate the geographic range of ecological connectivity\, as well as indicate the zonal shifts within a warming climate. \nReferencing my own experiences traveling through altitudinal zones to alpine areas\, and across latitudinal lines\, I create work which connects geographically disconnected landscapes focusing on their shared ecologies: how each site is connected through climatic shifts\, soil qualities\, and habitat range. I repetitively rework traditional copperplate matrices\, often in combination and collage with photo-lithography\, and photography to extract observations\, uncovering cultural and natural histories.” \nAbout the artist \nElizabeth Claire Rose was born in Central Illinois and grew up exploring natural areas of the midwestern United States\, which cultivated her creativity and interests in ecology\, biogeography\, and the ecological value of varied landscapes. Rose received her MFA in Printmaking from Tyler School of Art and Architecture at Temple University and a BA in Fine Art with a minor in Wilderness Studies from the University of Montana. Rose is an alumna of the Fulbright Program in Poland (2019-2020) where she was awarded a research grant in printmaking.

SUMMARY:WYSIWYG
DESCRIPTION:About the exhibition \nWhat is so new about “new media”? The original definition of “media” meant “material” (wood\, bronze\, ink\, and so on). How ironic is it that new media (or digital media) is viewed as holding an immaterial existence? The digital image is “made” of light and a language of binary code\, not ink and paper. But why is this shift towards immaterialism an important distinction between our original definitions of media? As printmakers\, we know why the adoption of new forms of media marks important cultural shifts\, having intimately studied the implications of the printing press. With the birth of print media\, radical changes in fundamental concepts such as originality\, ephemerality\, identity\, and time were forced to suit the existing media models. We are now once again faced with an epistemological and ontological crisis of the image in contemporary times. \nMaterials such as dust are known for their strong connection to the passage of time and human indexicality. However\, through the works in this exhibition\, many fundamental concepts of being are defamiliarized through subtle digital manipulations of familiar materials and surfaces. \nAbout the artist \nAlex Linfield is a multidisciplinary artist\, newly based in Mohkinstsis/Calgary. Linfield holds an MFA from NSCAD University and a BFA from the University of Alberta.

SUMMARY:Basic Social Unit Hierarchies
DESCRIPTION:About the exhibition \nBasic Social Unit Hierarchies focuses on matriarchal and patriarchal elements within a basic social unit – a family. I study the distinction between these two models\, based on my and my partner’s genealogical histories. I investigate the generational (three generations) and ethnographic (Slavic and Acadian) differences and transformations regarding gender-imposed roles within studied families. I hope that the process\, along with the installation culminating my research will\, to some extent\, elucidate my position and identity as a woman in my own family.  \nThe work consists of two pillars. The first one depicts the dynamics between matriarchal and patriarchal elements within my family. The second one is a graphic representation of these dynamics in my partner’s family. The inspiration for this project was my curiosity to find out how our (my and my partner’s) different histories and experiences have impacted our understanding of the partnership in a domestic context. I want to be aware of any behavioral tendencies we both might have inherited into our home life. I hope for this piece to also inspire my audience to revisit the homes where they come from and to analyze how the domestic models that they have experienced influence their current relationships.  \nInspired by the 18th century Toile de Jouy\, my pieces are printed on canvas in monochromatic blues and reds. The motifs of traditional Toile de Jouy depicted idyllic scenes of every-day life. My drawings of family life might seem to be pleasant at first\, but after a closer look\, they also show loneliness\, neglect\, boredom\, and anxiety.  \nAbout the artist \nKasia Koralewska is a textile-based artist and art educator currently living in Calgary\, Canada. She received her education at the Alberta College of Art & Design in Calgary\, Canada and Academy of Fine Arts in Lodz\, Poland (Master of Fine Arts 2009). She presently teaches in the Fibre program at the Alberta University of the Arts.  \nHer research focuses on various techniques and processes that transform the surface of the cloth. Her artistic practice involves creating large-scale silkscreen printed\, dyed\, and painted textiles\, wearable objects\, drawings\, and installations.  \nHer work has been exhibited in Poland\, Germany\, Czech Republic\, and Canada.
