Julia Feyrer and Tamara Henderson work across film, sculpture, writing and bookmaking. The body of work in this exhibition takes its starting point from Feyrer and Henderson's collaborative 16mm film Bottles Under the Influence (2012), made with bottles from the collection of the Historical Museum of Wine & Spirits in Stockholm. The bottles are documented, staged, positioned, studied, projected on, tucked in bed, drunk from, and shot at. Like bodies made of glass, they appear headless, armless, and footless, with lips and necks. These vessels hold the contents of the film.
Feyrer and Henderson make 16mm films from the perspective of a sculptural practice, constructing scenography and props as installations and art objects. Bottles Under the Influence is presented alongside a drinking songbook and a series of glass blown bottles which are embedded as props within a sequence of film sets in the gallery.

Bee Kingdom is a four-person art collective consisting of Ryan Marsh Fairweather, Phillip Murray Bandura, Tim Belliveau, and Kai Georg Scholefield. For the past seven years, Bee Kingdom has made work and shown locally, nationally and internationally.
A recent grant from the Alberta Foundation for the Arts has allowed Bee Kingdom to create a body of work that encapsulates each member's specific practice, as well as the collaborative glass sculptures that represent the group's dynamic. The overarching theme of the show is conceptually linked more than visually as it orbits experimentation and collaboration. Specific themes touched on include cute culture, high art in glass, and political satire. Take in this captivating exhibition to find out why everyone is buzzing about the Bees.
C2G2 - Distillations and Eruptions - March 28 to June 16
posted: March 30, 2013
Distillations and Eruptions
Curated by Christian Bernard Singer and Priscilla Hollingsworth
March 28 to June 16, 2013
Opening Reception: Thursday, March 28, 2013 at 7:00 pm. Everyone welcome.
Distillations and Eruptions is an exhibition of five large-scale ceramic installations by artists Tina Aufiero (USA), Patsy Cox (USA), Priscilla Hollingsworth (USA), Catherine Paleczny (ON) and Diana Lynn Thompson (BC).
Each of the artists has built an installation composed of dozens to thousands of parts – each work creating its own overall cumulative effect that also underscores a sense of natural organization. Clay bodies range from earthenware to porcelain and some of the artists have used additional materials and processes such as drawing and painting, photography, and digital media.
Distillations in the exhibition title refers to the process of ‘editing’ an artwork until one has reached its core essential. Meanwhile, eruptions are the unforeseen occurrences such as the accidents that occur during the creative process which, in turn, might inspire new creative directions.

MATERIALLY SPEAKING - Jen Aitken, Lou Lynn, Brendan Lee Satish Tang and Julie York at the Richmond Art Gallery - April 14 – June 9
posted: March 16, 2013
April 14 – June 9, 2013
Opening Reception: Saturday, April 13, 2013, 3-5pm
In an increasingly mechanized and digitized world that values speed and economical production of goods, we have witnessed the erosion of human skill due to an inevitable de-skilling. A new generation of artists are returning to craft methodologies as a means of re-invigorating craft while bringing an intellectual rigour to the objects they make. As a result of re-skilling, artists foreground questions of labour, craft, skill and value outside of historical craft traditions while demonstrating how objects embody meaning and can speak to contemporary issues and narratives.
The four artists presented in Materially speaking, explore diverse notions of hybridity, identity, the body and perception. While conceptually very different, all borrow from craft processes to address ideas of history, functionality and materiality.
