Forest City Gallery & ARTWINDSOR

Screen shot 2015-07-15 at 7.57.09 PM

I am pleased to announce that my new work, Waiter’s Hourglass, was featured in the Spring/Summer issue of ARTWINDSOR. If you can’t get your hands on a copy, you can download a PDF version of artmeal.

Waiter’s Hourglass was also part of the Biennial Emerging Artists Exhibition – Uncooperative at Forest City Gallery. This year addressing the theme of ‘exhaustion,’ Uncooperative speaks to creative workers’ systematic exhaustion and the realization that we are collectively bound up in the same pressures to perform based on the unrealistic, counter-productive expectations of fast-food economics: quick, effective, more.

The Untitled Alberta tour

Title_UntitledShlomi Greenspan and I proudly presented Untitled (It’s Almost a One-Liner) at The New Gallery in Calgary at the end of 2014, and at Harcourt House in Edmonton during the spring of 2015 .

Sky Goodden’s essay accompanied the show – you can read it here.

The Calgary Herald’s Swerve Magazine recommended our show and featured an interview with us by Craig R. Palmer.

The Edmonton Examiner‘s Doug Johnson discussed the show’s uncanny juggling act between performance art and installation.

Getting to know the local art communities was great, and it won’t be long before we’re back.

Out of Site 2014 features six Nuit Blanche independent projects curated by Earl Miller, which consider the theme of  humour in public art.

Back to School

sarah_beckHeather Saunders has posted an interview on her blog, Artist in Transit, in which we discuss my time in residence at the International Space University.

You can read about my time in space here.

This summer I was the first Artist in Residence at the 27th Space Studies Program (SSP).

While acting as Rocket Artist, or resident Space Oddity, I re-imagined the Pioneer Plaque. Originally created in 1972 for inclusion on the Pioneer 10 launch, the Pioneer Plaque was a pictoral message to possible extraterrestrial life that may intercept it. Art for aliens…talk about a challenge!

Back in 2012 when I was getting ready for Nuit Blanche, a TV crew from Rendez-vous followed us around for months filming the process of putting together such a large installation. The episode aired in July on CBC’s ICI ARTV.
