Laurie Anderson: The Grey Rabbit

Time: -

Location: Glenbow Museum, 130 9 AVE SE

Website: www.glenbow.org/

Additional Info:
About the Exhibition

Artist Laurie Anderson has cast herself in roles as varied as composer, poet photographer, filmmaker, vocalist, instrumentalist and electronics whiz. Many have tried to categorize her diverse 40-year career into broader terms - performance artist avant-garde artist, even woman artist. But she opts for the more traditional term storyteller.

In The Gray Rabbit, Anderson the storyteller examines a story from her childhood. But this is no rote retelling of the summer when she was 12. Instead, through this multimedia installation, Anderson re-examines her memories of the summer she spent in hospital, realizing that what she remembers and what she recounts is what is palatable for her to remember.

Edward Burtynsky: Encounters

Time: 05:00 pm - 05:00 pm

Location: Glenbow Museum, 130 9 AVE SE

Website: www.glenbow.org

Additional Info:
Inspired by Edward Burtynsky's view that his images can "function as reflecting pools of our times" we wondered what meaning Canadians would find in this photographer's masterfully composed images.

When compelled to reflect upon Burtynsky's images of landscapes transformed by industry– quarrying, mining, recycling, manufacturing, rail cutting and ship breaking - what would be our commentary on these landscapes shaped by our own desires and needs?



For this exhibition, 30 Canadians, representing diverse views and life perspectives, each chose a work by Burtynsky. The result is a combination of places and moments Burtynsky has photographed over the course of his career, combined with written commentary by the guest curators whose reflections are thoughtful, thought-provoking, sometimes surprising and always personal.

Laurie Anderson: The Grey Rabbit

Time: -

Location: Glenbow Museum, 130 9 AVE SE

Website: www.glenbow.org/

Additional Info:
About the Exhibition

Artist Laurie Anderson has cast herself in roles as varied as composer, poet photographer, filmmaker, vocalist, instrumentalist and electronics whiz. Many have tried to categorize her diverse 40-year career into broader terms - performance artist avant-garde artist, even woman artist. But she opts for the more traditional term storyteller.

In The Gray Rabbit, Anderson the storyteller examines a story from her childhood. But this is no rote retelling of the summer when she was 12. Instead, through this multimedia installation, Anderson re-examines her memories of the summer she spent in hospital, realizing that what she remembers and what she recounts is what is palatable for her to remember.

Edward Burtynsky: Encounters

Time: 05:00 pm - 05:00 pm

Location: Glenbow Museum, 130 9 AVE SE

Website: www.glenbow.org

Additional Info:
Inspired by Edward Burtynsky's view that his images can "function as reflecting pools of our times" we wondered what meaning Canadians would find in this photographer's masterfully composed images.

When compelled to reflect upon Burtynsky's images of landscapes transformed by industry– quarrying, mining, recycling, manufacturing, rail cutting and ship breaking - what would be our commentary on these landscapes shaped by our own desires and needs?



For this exhibition, 30 Canadians, representing diverse views and life perspectives, each chose a work by Burtynsky. The result is a combination of places and moments Burtynsky has photographed over the course of his career, combined with written commentary by the guest curators whose reflections are thoughtful, thought-provoking, sometimes surprising and always personal.
