Diary of Events and Happenings in Edmonton, Alberta.


Contemporary Art from the AGA Collection

Art Gallery of Alberta 2 Sir Winston Churchill Square Ongoing through Sunday, January 6, 2013 Featured Artists: Sean Caulfield; Walter Jule; Steven Dixon; Lyndal Osborne; Karen Dugas; Marc Siegner; Liz Ingram; Richard Yates Since the 1970s, Edmonton has seen the growth of vital artistic activities centered on the art of printmaking. IMPRINT features 8 local artists whose work reveals an attention to different printmaking techniques, as well as an interrelationship of subject matter. Organic forms abound in their works, as do references to the body and its interior—both physical and psychic. When built spaces are evoked, they are frequently bare, stark and industrial. Mechanical and biomorphic systems are also suggested, but they are at once natural and fantastic. This exhibition includes an additional installation of prints created through the Society of Northern Alberta Print-artists (SNAP) Newsletter print program. This artist-run centre opened in 1982 and became a hub for Edmonton's printmakers City / Town : Edmonton Event Venue : Art Gallery of Alberta Short Description : Featured Artists: Sean Caulfield; Walter Jule; Steven Dixon; Lyndal Osborne; Karen Dugas; Marc Siegner; Liz Ingram; Richard Yates Event Category : Museums / Attractions, Performing Arts / Culture Cost : Gallery admission Where to purchase tickets : At the door More info :  www.youraga.ca….
