  • Until July 4: New Work by Dana Popescul
    The rumpus room, a suburban phenomenon, often is the not "presentable" room (unlike the living room), but is well used and "comfortable". Dana Popescul's rumpus room has been ambiguously intensified. It is still a leisure space for sprawling around in front of the TV, but Popescul has modified the furniture with vibrant colours and intense decorative elements. She is including modified tourist souvenirs, (prefabricated mass produced memories), and family mementos purchased at garage sales and other icons/symbols of popular culture such as hockey trophies. The modifications are playful, humorous and intense, but underlying is Popescul's questioning of the objects' role in symbolizing significant events; pointing to the futility of our attempts to preserve the past.
  • July 9 – August 22: Utopia and Desire
    Mixed media exhibition at the Little Gallery,
    Works by: Lorne Beug, Lorri Blondeau, Paula Cooley, George Glenn, Kathleen Houston, Bradley LaRocque, Joanne Lyons, Cecile Miller, Ellen Moffat and Marlene Yuzak
    Opening reception: July 15, 5:00-6:00pm
    This exhibition explores personal utopias and desires. With the approaching millennium, Canadian society as a whole, is going through an intense process of self-reflection – reviewing past and future challenges. This show takes a more personal approach and investigates individual desires and utopias. Desires and utopias are inherently elusive, but are a driving force in our lives. This exhibition explores how artists have transformed their personal view of the small perfect moment or the complex societal state translated in contemporary art.

  • July 10-13: TeleVisionquest. 3:00-9:00pm
    a video installation by the Transmissionaries - Chris Ferchuk, David Nelson, Marcel Brunet
    TeleVisionquest is a video installation that challenges people’s perceptions of the role of TV in their lives. On a TV screen wall, local sports footage is juxtaposed with fictional exercise videos. The installation also creates random visual links between home movie footage, experimental video and text video. The viewers will be included in the installation. Come and celebrate with the artists on July 12, 7:00pm.
  • July 15-17: Sky-lore. 3:00-9:00pm
    Stories from the sky, an interactive installation by Kathleen Houston.
    On the inside of a tent - like structure, made from fabric and willow, is an expression of the night sky in "glow in the dark" paint and fimo beads. The public is invited to come inside, lay down and allow the imagination to go beyond the dome and into the sky. An audio visualization takes the viewer into the secret realm of childhood night sky memories, and a journey to see the earth from way out there. Come and celebrate with Kathleen on June 15, 7:00pm.
