September 21, 2012 Opening reception with artists in attendance, Sept 6th from 6 to 8 pm.
Recent work by ACAD graduate Jean Day addressing the issues of environment and wildlife conservation as well as the human impact that is unique to Canada.
Rather than creating imitations or impressions of nature scenes, Jean utilizes natural materials found in her environments to provide the authenticity of what she is portraying, allowing the viewer to experience the natural textures, smells and values of the materials. She also uses man-made materials such as silk plant leaves and mosses to juxtapose a level of artificiality with the natural components and lend a false and ironic sense of "life".
In the series "Aviora Natura" Jean also plays on the expression "to preserve" through the use of taxidermy as well as focus on wildlife and ecological conservation. Website: www.artcentral.ca/tenants/88-studio-intent |

The young prince is driven to the brink of madness as he struggles to comprehend the situation in which he finds himself and to do his duty.

September 21, 2012 13 Most Beautiful…Songs for Andy Warhol’s Screen Tests
Dean & Britta (New York)
Music/Film
Presented by Theatre Junction
Between 1964 and 1966, Andy Warhol shot almost 500 Screen Tests: revealing portraits of various individuals – both famous and anonymous – who visited his studio, the Factory.
The legendary Screen Tests have become a sort of yearbook for the mid-1960s avant-garde, revealing a fascinating variety of physical and emotional responses elicited from its subjects as they are each confronted with the gaze of the ‘other’.
Jointly commissioned by the Andy Warhol Museum and Pittsburgh Cultural Trust and inspired by the mythos of The Factory, songwriters Dean & Britta have composed a live score for a selection of the films; evoking the legacy of Warhol’s era with their dream-pop sensibility and entrancing rock rhythms. Dean & Britta are Dean Wareham and Britta Philips, formerly of iconic 90s band Luna. Prior to Luna, Wareham fronted Galaxie 500, an influential late 80’s band that has been compared to the likes of Jonathan Richman and The Velvet Underground.

Stack Mimetics enacts it’s presence through applied surfaces and expressed materiality. Exploring the cultural logic of mimesis within the sphere of sub-cultural identification, the work is manifested as selected woodland camouflage patterns, applied with specific technical processes onto composite materials and aggregated into stacks. Alluding to the notion of “fitting in”, whether it be into the terrific/terrifying natural Alberta wilderness or into the subsequent aesthetics of one’s own branded identity, Stack Mimetics presents the opportunity for reflection into how we chose to mimic the objects and entities that surround us, and the cultural logic of mimesis and camouflage as it is derived from the basis of an archaic survival process.
