Now Showing

Art usually depicts what we collectively define as beautiful. Deviations from what we believe to be the natural landscape norm rarely make it into the picture. Deftly omitted, the lack of infrastructure is a significant visual silence. Rarely, do we stand in front of an aesthetic work and say, “I wonder what material objects were left out?”

The utilitarian objects widely present in natural landscapes are places of discovery. They are exciting, opportunities for us to together explore new views. These might just be literal views. They could also be emotional views, the letting go of bucolic myths, the (re)discovery of our dependence on the power industrial intrusions give us to manage nature.

Objects in the Landscape, Too places those functional objects directly in view. Each work in this solo show invites you to consider: What is really there?

The exhibit runs until July 13, 2025 at the Crowsnest Pass Public Art Gallery.
