Cryoscapes

Photographer Nigel Midwinter, in the exhibition Cryoscapes, explores the tension between fragility and force within Alberta’s winter landscapes. Shot on the frozen surface of Abraham Lake, these black-and-white photographs transform cracked ice, pressure ridges, and trapped methane bubbles into abstract forms.

In Process

In Process is an ever changing group exhibit featuring six Calgary abstract artists exploring ideas of change, transition, and the creative process. Working in various mediums and styles, these artists use abstraction to express emotion, memory, and transformation through mark-making, texture, and experimentation. The show runs from  January 6 -31 with the artists Claudia Lorenz, Susan Hull, Dixie Baum, Ghislaine Cleiren, Anne-Marie Gunst, and Barbara Straka. Artist reception Friday January 9  from 6:30 pm to 9:00pm.

American Haiku Presented by Instrumental Society of Calgary

Jesse Morrison opened our season last year with a solo recital and returns in a new guise with cellist Clare Bradford presenting repertoire that spans a century, from Rebecca Clarke’s Two Pieces (1920) to Tanner Porter’s Under This Breath (2020). Centering the program is American Haiku by Paul Wiancko, California-based composer and current Kronos Quartet cellist. This 2014 work explores his heritage and identity, combining American and Japanese folk influences with his classical music training.
