SUMMARY:Exhibition: "Celebrating Light in Living Spaces" - Tony Settari
DESCRIPTION:cSPACE Marda Loop\nGallery Level 2\nThe Month of April – HELD OVER \n\nMotto:  \nThere is a crack\, a crack in everything. \nThat’s how the light gets in. \n(Leonard Cohen\, Anthem) \n\nA collection of B&W photographs that explores the power of the sun light and its interaction with our daily living. The photographs will take the viewer through the same apartment at different times of the day\, from waking to night. The images let you discover new interesting details of the living spaces that may be otherwise forgotten. \n\nArtist’s Statement – Tony Settari\nTony Settari\, born and trained in the Czech Republic\, developed an early passion for art and music alongside a career in engineering. After moving to Calgary in 1969\, he was inspired by an Ansel Adams retrospective\, which ignited his interest in large-format photography. While his professional career in academia and consulting limited his artistic pursuits for some time\, retirement allowed him to fully return to photography. Today\, his work blends traditional analog techniques with digital processes\, focusing primarily on black-and-white imagery that emphasizes simplicity and minimal reliance on technology.

SUMMARY:Exhibition: "Prairie Histories" - Corinne Cowell
DESCRIPTION:Exhibition: “Prairie Histories” by Corinne Cowell\ncSPACE Marda Loop\nGallery Level 3\nuntil May 5\, 2025 \nFrom the artist:\nThis ongoing series deals with narratives and memory as well as the environment and our place within it. A series of “prairie ghosts” speaks to the history and perseverance of family and struggle as well as the abandonment of those precious homesteads of the early 1900’s. These disturbed landscapes are fraught with memories\, long faded but still lingering. \nThe buildings\, straining to remain\, alone and resilient against the elements\, will ultimately disintegrate back into the landscape. This reclaiming by the land forms a series of mysteries\, offering a great depth for potential narratives. These are the stories I want to tell. \nThese pieces are made using my own photography\, which I transfer to the under painted surface. Using many layers and glazes of acrylic paint\, I develop the mood and transparency of the image to support the imagined narrative of the work. \nIf you are interested in purchasing any of Corinne’s pieces\, please visit her website corinnecowell.com \, where you can also find her small paintings and mixed media fibre work. You can also follow her on Instagram @corinnecowell .
