September 11, 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 |

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.

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.

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.
