September 8, 2012 Opening reception with artists in attendance, Sept 6th from 6 to 8 pm.
Recent work by ACAD graduate Jean Day addressing the issues of environment and wildlife conservation as well as the human impact that is unique to Canada.
Rather than creating imitations or impressions of nature scenes, Jean utilizes natural materials found in her environments to provide the authenticity of what she is portraying, allowing the viewer to experience the natural textures, smells and values of the materials. She also uses man-made materials such as silk plant leaves and mosses to juxtapose a level of artificiality with the natural components and lend a false and ironic sense of "life".
In the series "Aviora Natura" Jean also plays on the expression "to preserve" through the use of taxidermy as well as focus on wildlife and ecological conservation. Website: www.artcentral.ca/tenants/88-studio-intent |

Sounds of Calgary:
----------------
Sounds Of Calgary showcases the landscapes and artists of Calgary. The project explores areas of the city we sometimes take for granted by creating a dialogue about what makes the city special to individuals, sharing the artistic and historic beauty of Calgary, and raising the profile of local musicians.
The Sound of Calgary podcasts showcase independent musicians and their talents by taking them to landmarks in the city to improvise music to what they hear around them. Artists share their experiences in the space and why it is an important landmark to them while Calgarians share their stories as well.

Vertigo Theatre Presents
DOUBLE INDEMNITY
By James. M Cain
Adapted for the stage by David Pichette & R. Hamilton Wright
Directed by Craig Hall
September 8 – October 7, 2012
In this new stage adaptation of James M. Cain’s classic noir novel, a smooth talking insurance salesman and a gold-digging housewife cook up a scheme to murder her husband for a tempting double-indemnity payout from his policy. But when plans start changing and events spiral out of control it’s hard to know who to trust…or who is really in control.

|  | Time: All Day Event / Location: THE UAS +15 GALLERY - 205 8 Avenue SE, Calgary
September 8, 2012 Exhibition Runs: August 8th to September 30th, 2012
Closing Reception: September 20th, 7 - 8pm
Artist Talk: August 30th at 7pm (at UAS Satellite Gallery)
Stack Mimetics enacts it’s presence through applied surfaces and expressed materiality. Exploring the cultural logic of mimesis within the sphere of sub-cultural identification, the work is manifested as selected woodland camouflage patterns, applied with specific technical processes onto composite materials and aggregated into stacks. Alluding to the notion of “fitting in”, whether it be into the terrific/terrifying natural Alberta wilderness or into the subsequent aesthetics of one’s own branded identity, Stack Mimetics presents the opportunity for reflection into how we chose to mimic the objects and entities that surround us, and the cultural logic of mimesis and camouflage as it is derived from the basis of an archaic survival process.
Artist Bio:
Stephen Nachtigall is a Calgary based artist whose work focuses on the contemporary paradox of the actual and the virtual from his point of view as a “Net Native” and also a native to the foothills of the Alberta Rockies. After studying sculpture and completing his BFA at the Alberta College of Art & Design in 2011, Stephen has been establishing his practice within the Calgary arts community, participating in group exhibitions such as BYOB Calgary, Return to The Dollhouse for the Truck Gallery, and The Works at Untitled Arts Society. His work has also seen online exposure on blogs and websites such as vvork.com. Some of his most recognized achievements include an installation entitled Electric Lettuce at Sled Island in June 2011 as well as receiving the Board of Governors award during his time at ACAD.
