SUMMARY:Hallway Gallery: The Human Moment by Dipankar Mukherjee
DESCRIPTION:Hallway Gallery: The Human Moment by Dipankar Mukherjee\ncSPACE Marda Loop\nLevel 4 Gallery\nApril 27 – May 25\, 2026\n8:00 AM – 8:00 PM (Closed Sundays) \nIn The Human Moment\, Calgary-based photographer Dipankar Mukherjee presents a series of images that explore fleeting\, unguarded interactions across everyday life. \nCaptured across diverse geographies—these photographs focus not on spectacle\, but on subtle\, often overlooked moments: a passing glance\, a solitary walk\, an unspoken exchange. Each image resists easy interpretation\, inviting viewers to pause and reflect—these photographs focus not on spectacle\, but on subtle\, often overlooked moments: a passing glance\, a solitary walk\, an unspoken exchange. Each image resists easy interpretation\, inviting viewers to pause and reflect. \nRather than telling complete stories\, the work offers fragments—open-ended and unresolved. Viewers are encouraged to engage with the images through their own experiences\, assumptions\, and perspectives. \nAt its core\, The Human Moment is an exploration of how we see one another. It quietly asks: What do we notice? What do we miss? And what happens when we truly stop to look? \nThis exhibition is designed not just to be viewed\, but to be experienced—creating space for reflection\, dialogue\, and connection. \n  \n \n  \n

SUMMARY:Hallway Gallery: Long Story Short by Christina Yao with Alliance Française
DESCRIPTION:Hallway Gallery: Explosions of Curiosity by National AccessArts Centre\ncSPACE Marda Loop\nLevel 3 Gallery\nMay 5 – June 1\, 2026\n8:00 AM – 8:00 PM (Closed Sundays) \n  \n\n\nThe Alliance Française is delighted to host “Long Story Short” by Christina Yao. \nLong Story Short investigates the ongoing negotiation of power\, trust\, and vulnerability within intimate relationships. \nChristina constructs staged photographs that feel both authentic and entirely fictional\, with scenes built from fragments of shared experiences and her own relational hesitations. These images become a site where the boundaries of intimacy are tested\, exploring the tension between what is performed for the lens and what is instinctively revealed. What is long or short\, complete or unresolved\, is never fixed. It shifts with memory and time\, changing as we return to a relationship from a different perspective. In these private spaces\, connection unfolds as something remembered\, imagined\, and performed\, shaped by the desire to be seen and the resistance to full exposure. Even in closeness\, moments of distance remain\, where feelings go unspoken and loneliness exists alongside connection. \n\n\nAbout Christina Yao\nChristina Yao is a China-born\, Calgary-based artist working in photography\, video\, and installation. Drawing from her experience living across the U.S.\, Colombia\, and Canada\, she explores relationships\, identity\, and place through a cross-cultural lens. Yao holds a Bachelor of Design in Photography (with Distinction) from the Alberta University of the Arts. She was shortlisted for the Royal Photographic Society International Photography Exhibition 167 (2026)\, and is a 2025 Critical Mass Top 200 finalist and a 2024 LensCulture Portrait Awards finalist. Her work was featured in the Emerging Photographers Showcase at the 2024 Exposure Photography Festival. Her work has been presented internationally at Sotheby’s Institute of Art (New York) and ASC Studio (London\, UK)\, and at Contemporary Calgary\, The Marion Nicoll Gallery\, TRUCK Contemporary Art\, Stride Gallery\, cSPACE\, The Bows\, and Werklund Centre. \nWebsite: www.christina-yao.com \n  \n

SUMMARY:HALLWAY GALLERY: Eye Candy | The Jelly Beans Series by Elena Alexander
DESCRIPTION:Hallway Gallery: Eye Candy | The Jelly Beans Series by Elena Alexander\ncSPACE Marda Loop\nLevel 2 Gallery\nMay 20 – May 29\, 2026\n8:00 AM – 8:00 PM (Closed Sundays) \nEye Candy: The Jelly Beans Series is a solo exhibition by Calgary artist Elena Alexander\,  on view at cSPACE Marda Loop\, Level 2\, from May 20 to 29\, 2026. \nThis vibrant exhibition features original geometric abstract paintings from Alexander’s ongoing Jelly Beans series. Built around rounded forms\, bold colour\, repetition\, and visual rhythm\, the series explores how simple shapes can shift attention\, affect mood\, and change the feeling of a space. \nAt first glance\, the works are bright\, playful\, and immediate. They have the visual pleasure suggested by the title Eye Candy. Beneath the colour and rounded forms\, however\, the series also speaks to focus\, structure\, and the act of looking closely. \nAbout the Jelly Beans Series\nThe Jelly Beans series began with a simple visual idea: rounded forms repeated across the canvas\, each one carrying its own colour\, weight\, and mood. \nThe forms are playful and almost candy-like\, which is where the title Eye Candy comes from. The paintings invite viewers to pause and enjoy colour as an experience in itself. Each shape is similar\, but not identical. Each colour changes the feeling of the whole composition. A deep red can ground a painting. A pale blue can create openness. A bright green can bring energy. A soft lavender can shift the pace. \nAs the eye moves from one form to the next\, the viewer begins to notice relationships\, contrasts\, and small moments of balance. In that way\, the paintings become a visual rhythm. They are structured\, but not rigid. Joyful\, but still deliberate. \nA Calgary Exhibition About Colour\, Focus\, and Joy\nWith Eye Candy: The Jelly Beans Series\, Alexander wanted to create a moment of brightness and focus within a shared public space. \nDaily life can feel fast\, fragmented\, and overstimulating. We are often pulled between information\, obligations\, screens\, and noise. This exhibition offers a different kind of visual experience\, one that gives the eye somewhere to land. \nThe exhibition is not about escaping the world. It is about noticing how something as simple as colour and shape can change the way we move through it. What begins as a bright and playful surface becomes a study in repetition\, contrast\, decision-making\, and focus. \nGeometric Abstract Paintings at cSPACE Marda Loop\nThe exhibition includes both larger Jelly Beans paintings and smaller works from the Mini Jelly Beans group. Together\, they show how the same visual language can shift across scale. \nThe larger works create a strong presence in the exhibition space\, allowing viewers to experience colour and repetition across a wider field of vision. The smaller works are more intimate\, inviting close looking and showing how much variation can happen within a compact format. \nAcross the series\, the rounded forms suggest softness\, sweetness\, and movement\, while the structured arrangement gives the work clarity. This contrast gives the paintings their energy. They are bright\, but not chaotic. Ordered\, but not cold. Playful\, but not random. \nAbout Elena Alexander\nElena Alexander is a Calgary-based abstract artist working in hard-edge geometric painting. Her work explores structure\, colour\, repetition\, and the way visual order can create moments of focus and clarity. \nHer paintings are non-representational\, but they often suggest movement\, rhythm\, and emotional tone through colour relationships and repeated forms. Drawing from geometric abstraction\, modernism\, colour field painting\, and hard-edge painting\, Alexander creates works that are clean\, vibrant\, and carefully composed. \nView more of her work at elena-alexander.com \n \n

SUMMARY:Artist Reception: Ichigo Ichie: A Moment in Time - Presented by Alberta Craft Council
DESCRIPTION:Artist Reception: Ichigo Ichie: A Moment in Time – Presented by Alberta Craft Council\ncSPACE MardaLoop\nAlberta Craft Council – Level 2\nMay 23\, 2026\n2:00PM – 4:00 PM \nRSVP for free \n\n\nJoin Alberta Craft Council for an Artist Reception from Minoru Ueda. Meet the artist and view his exhibition. \nArtist Statement \nIchigo Ichie is a Zen-inspired concept that emphasizes cherishing the unique nature of each moment. This principle is often associated with the renowned Japanese tea master Sen no Rikyu. It also profoundly influences my artistic practice. As a potter\, I draw upon traditional Japanese pottery techniques\, focusing on the rustic elegance and understated aesthetics of functional vessels\, as well as the inherent connection to nature first articulated by Sen no Rikyu. This exhibition features a selection of vases\, tea utensils\, and tableware that are central to the Japanese tea ceremony. \nBiography \nMinoru Ueda is a Japanese architect who was raised in Tokyo and currently divides his time between Calgary and Japan.
