I'm currently putting together a show that includes eleven artists from the Banff Artists In Residence (BAIR) here at the Banff Centre. The show opens on August 29th at 4:30 in the Other Gallery which is located in the Glyde Hall Building. There will be prints, paintings, photos, sculptures, wood-cuts, collage and even a performance piece. Come and have a glass of wine with us!
I wrote this little blurb about the show that I'm still uncertain about using.
A varied cast of mountain ghosts have awakened, ravenous for human form, while eleven artists have been transported to the midst of an Albertan valley. Here they have been immersed in an astonishing display of rocky giants who’ve summoned mighty spirits to guide our heroes through deeper explorations of their individual practices. A mountain’s curvaceous slopes and jagged edges will arouse magic in one girl to build you a collection of pretty cuts. A sunbeam lays atop a man in a garden of forget-me-nots where a memory is illuminated and soon dissipated in the shade of a passing cloud. A drop of water tunnels its way through a glacier while a curious woman follows. A boy builds a fire where flames reveal burning desires and truths; while another finds himself in a graveyard of dancing corpses.
Ghosts are good here in the valley.
