‘Mammoths, EcoZombies and Permafrost Extinction’

This exhibition by Tara Nicholson endeavors to depict a polar ecosystem warming at a rate of 3-7 times faster than other landmasses, re-characterizing “frozen life” as something increasingly valuable. Examining the fleeting nature of the Arctic, Nicholson questions the unseen realities of climate collapse to envision a post-anthropocentric representation of the Arctic. Tara’s exhibition, featuring photography and ceramic tusk installation, will be on display in the Main Gallery from February 7th to March 21st.

‘I Regret / Listen, Tree / Feel’

Jeroen Witvliet is a Dutch / Canadian artist who mainly works in painting and drawing. Jeroen’s practice revolves around finding distinct imagery that addresses a variety of issues and subjects, ranging from history, environmental, social and group dynamics, landscape, memory, art history and more but all are driven by a deep sense of uncertainty. In his paintings/drawings there is a constant push to challenge preconceived notions of the medium but also to question the linearity of his practice and (historical) timelines. Jeroen’s exhibition will be on display in our Project gallery from February 7th to March 21st.

‘Lakeshore Meditations’

It is easy to walk through life without pause, without being present to where one is, without stopping, observing and reflecting on the surrounding beauty. Marguerite’s abstract landscape paintings, based on photographs taken from a particular spot in the Trout Creek neighbourhood in Summerland over a period of time, document a practice of intentional and contemplative noticing. Her exhibition will be on display in our Members' gallery from January 31st until February 22nd.
