to Mar 28. Based on the saying “take only photographs, leave only footprints”, this exhibition in Joe’s Lounge aims to capture a sense of nostalgia and seeks to preserve fleeting moments. The sky, sea, and the land are in a constant state of change, and it is almost impossible to pin down a moment. The artist attempts to capture the specifics of a certain day; how the light looks, how each location is unique, and how different elements of the environment combine. Using a combination of analog photographic methods and collage, the combination of technique and motif, instant photography and memory, is grounded in the landscape of the Sunshine Coast.

Art Exhibition: SOEINE BAC | Oddments
to Feb 11th. Oddments is a series of prints and photographs in the Eve Smart Gallery investigating the ways in which nature has been tamed and commodified to accommodate the needs of the human world. It is a response to our habit of defining objects according to values that derive from their immediate usefulness. Organic and inorganic remains are scanned to create photographs or used in combination with synthetic and organic inks to make prints, giving new life and meaning to objects that we normally discard once they are no longer seen as useful. Lemon seeds, onion skins, fish bones, and pine needles that normally become invisible once used for their conventional purposes become works of art that remind us of our connection to the natural world around us.

Beginning at the source of the Columbia River in southeastern BC and ending 3.5 months later in the ocean at Astoria, Oregon, this photographic series in the Main Gallery documents the artist’s solo kayaking adventure paddling down the 2000 winding kilometers of the Columbia River. Photographic installations create the sense of being in, on, and under water. The artist’s hand built kayak, as well as video clips, photographs, and prints, offer the viewer a tiny window into the artist’s experience on this journey. In this exhibition and through her solo kayaking adventure the artist explores how we can find moments of awe, vulnerability, and connection to the natural world in the altered landscapes that surround us.

Art Exhibition: Flow – Allyson Clay
Allyson Clay: Flow
Opening Reception + Artist Talk: Thursday October 12th at 5pm
This exhibition includes a selection of work made through the last 40 years that expresses the breadth of Allyson Clay’s practice. From paintings, photographs, video, and print based works, her work has remained committed to making relationships between images and texts. This small survey shares how this thread is sewn into her work across the years. She is attentive to text as representing a personal voice, in counterpoint to, and as an extension of, the image. Her rule is to not use text as a caption, but as an extension of the possibilities of the image and the total artwork.
