SHADOWS PASSING
Photographers: Sean Drysdale

For the month of February
Drysdale returns to cSPACE in 2024 with a new installation, in which he explores our apparent desire to be both connected to others and apart from them. As in previous bodies of work, the images are readily accessible, and potentially stimulate the viewer to pursue multiple avenues of thought.

CROSSING BOUNDARIES – CAPTURING THE HUMAN CONDITION
Photographer: Dipankar Mukherjee
Hallway Gallery Level 4
cSPACE Marda Loop
For the month of February
This exhibition shares documentary photographs of humans taken in different settings to give us a further understanding of our race. What we do with this realization is another matter. What boundaries do we cross? What boundaries do we attempt to cross? Why do we even bother? Does this cause any action for change? These are the questions the photographer will want the viewers to get involved with.
The photographs are not meant to be “art.” The human condition is reflected as it is. I strongly believe that the places where the photographs were taken have relevance to the context. Necessity of Hope at the foothills of Mt. Kilimanjaro, a Cuban face, a sculpture of a woman in chains in Zanzibar, Keepers of the Gorillas in Rwanda, and others are very relevant to their locations. They reflect the uniqueness of the human condition as the location dictates, but what is expressed in the faces is universal.

Dipankar Mukherjee – Artist Reception
Level 4
cSPACE Marda Loop
This Exposure exhibiting artist will be holding a reception, featuring a live music set from Tinica Commodore.

Hi I’m Tinica Commodore, a 28-year-old singer/songwriter originally from London UK. Music has always been a huge part of my life. Growing up, music was always playing in my household and I was exposed to different types of music, as well as cultures. Along with music came my love for singing and writing. I love to tell stories and express difficult emotions through songs. I’m deeply inspired by history, especially, the 1940s, 50s and 60s, I believe it was a beautiful a well as magical time for music. I enjoy the whimsical nostalgic comfort you get from listening to an old-time Jazz record. My musical influences also include artists such as Hiatus Kaiyote, Billie Eilish, The Weeknd, and Lana Del Rey. – Tinica Commodore

Camino, an Exhibition from Greg Doherty
2024-03-18 08:00 - 2024-04-27 20:00 UTC | cSPACE Marda Loop, 1721 29 Avenue Southwest, Calgary, AB, T2T 6T7, Canada
Camino, Greg Doherty
Level 2 cSPACE Marda Loop
March 18-April 29
Greg draws his inspirations from art history, nature, light, colours and shadows, as shown in this exhibition. He collects the beauty of landscapes and will occasionally translate his feelings into an abstraction.
Artist Statement
My original camino walk was from Saint Jean Pieds-de-Port in France to Santiago, Spain for a total distance of 820 km. More recently, my wife, Lory and I, have walked a couple more Caminos of Santiago. Our starting points have been Porto, Portugal and Ferrol, Spain. This latest walk included a trip to the “end of the world,” Finisterre.
All along the different routes there is so much beauty. I have felt the need to respond to these beautiful scenes with some paintings. This show contains some of these efforts as well as a few other pieces that were inspired by our surroundings in Alberta.
My expressions move between representations and abstractions . The Camino of life moves me along a variety of roads and it is my goal to continue on this artistic path.

Beyond Age: Fabulous Over 40, Laurie MacBrown Photography
cSPACE Marda Loop
Level 1 Gallery
Beauty doesn’t cease to exist because of an arbitrary age, and it’s time to shatter the stereotypes that say otherwise.
“Fabulous Over Forty” is our bold statement to the world: Women in their 40s, 50s, 60s, 70s, are gorgeous and worthy of display in an art gallery.
Again this year, we’ve chosen boudoir portraiture as our medium—a choice that defies expectations and celebrates the unique confidence and sensuality that come with age. Through this second annual series, we offer a collection of portraits and stories that reveal the confident, diverse beauty of women who are proudly ranging in age from 40 to 77.
Join us in embracing a vision of beauty that grows and evolves throughout life. “Fabulous Over Forty” isn’t just an exhibition; it’s a movement, inviting everyone to see the strength and confidence that come with every year lived and every experience gained.

Alison Frank's Love Aquatic

Level 2 Gallery
April 29-May 11, 2024
Love Aquatic is an art exhibition featuring the painting, drawing and photography by Alison Frank. It is the merger of her work as a visual artist and as a professional mermaid. Her paintings in this collection are inspired by the beauty experienced and captured through her freediving as a mermaid. The underwater world is a tranquil escape where time and daily pressures seem to dissolve. Water and the gravity free environment have many therapeutic healing benefits from fitness to pain relief. This solstice has been one component, for her, in managing a diagnosis with Multiple Sclerosis in a holistic approach. To this underwater world, she adds her surreal and playful mix of characters. Children gravitate to water and the joy of swimming. As adults, we often lose our affinity for this magical place. She visually shares the ephemeral beauty of the way water reflects light in a way we can never experience above the surface. Through this exhibition, she hopes to connect to viewers in a way that might inspire them to revisit the water and experience it’s many benefits.
