The Art Gallery of Alberta is a centre of excellence for the visual arts
in Western Canada, connecting people, art and ideas. The AGA is
focused on the development and presentation of original exhibitions
of contemporary and historical art from Alberta, Canada and around
the world. Founded in 1924, the Art Gallery of Alberta maintains
a collection of more than 6,000 objects and is the oldest cultural
institution in Alberta. It is the only museum in the province solely
dedicated to the exhibition and preservation of art and visual culture.
The AGA recently underwent a major re-building project. Designed
by Los Angeles architect Randall Stout, the 85,000 sq foot (7,900 sq
metres) new AGA opened to the public on January 31, 2010.
TREX Booking Catalogue
The Art Gallery of Alberta is pleased to present this selection of travelling exhibitions for the 2013-2014 season.
Currently the Art Gallery of Alberta serves over 70 venues in over 40 communities. Exhibitions on tour from the Art
Gallery of Alberta will easily adapt to the space requirements of smaller venues: schools, libraries, museums, health
care centres and other community facilities. The exhibitions are organized in such a manner as to make unpacking,
packing, hanging and shipping as easy as possible. An educational Interpretive Guide is developed for each show.
These materials enable teachers to use the exhibition within the school curriculum. The Interpretive Guides can be
kept by each venue for further reference and are also available on the AGA website. Along with the exhibition, each
venue receives an evaluation package which must be completed at the close of the exhibition and returned to the Art
Gallery of Alberta.
Venue Cost: $75 (plus GST) per exhibition booking. Freight is arranged for and paid by the Art Gallery of Alberta.
During the month of the booking the venue contact will receive information regarding shipping arrangements.
Booking invoices for each exhibition are issued close to the beginning of each month.
The Alberta Foundation for the Arts Collection is the primary source of works featured in the travelling exhibitions.

year we welcome new venues to enrich their community art through the Alberta Foundation for the Arts Travelling
Exhibition Program. Please look through this year’s selection of exhibitions to plan an exciting visual experience for
your facility. A booking form is included on the back cover of the catalogue to enable you to request exhibitions by

Out of Bounds The Art of Lynn Malin | Available September 2013 to August 2014
Although she would not describe herself as such Lynn Malin, both as a
woman and as an artist, is a bit of a rebel. Throughout her life she has
consistently stepped ‘out of bounds’ and gone beyond expectations.
The result has been a life and art career full of surprise and evocative
exploration.

Lynn Malin describes herself primarily as a landscape artist. Being a
‘prairie girl’, she loves the natural world and views her work as a means
to process what she sees. Unlike many artists, however, she is not
bound by any one artistic genre or mode of expression. Throughout her
career she has explored not only landscape painting but also still-life
works and sculpture, and has rendered her subjects ‘realistically’, with
impressionistic flair, abstractly, and sometimes with a dose of whimsy.
For Malin the intrigue of discovery and experimentation is what makes
art so fascinating and for over thirty years her overall artistic aim has
been to move, to learn, to change, and to grow.
The exhibition Out of Bounds The Art of Lynn Malin provides a survey of
the artistic career of Lynn Malin, one of Edmonton’s most exuberant
artists. Through the artworks presented the viewer is taken into the
mind, heart and soul of a working artist, encountering the wonder that
can be realized when one takes the risk and has the courage to go ‘out
of bounds’.
The exhibition Out of Bounds The Art of Lynn Malin was curated by Shane Golby, Art Gallery
of Alberta, for the Alberta Foundation for the Arts Travelling Exhibition Program.

The history of Alberta, whether political, economic, or social, is a
narrative intimately connected to its natural resources. Throughout the
20th and into the 21st century this history has largely been
written by the search for and development of the province’s oil
resources. Inspired by the centenary of the Turner Valley oil and gas
discoveries of 1913/1914 the exhibition Black Gold traces the
development of the oil industry in Alberta from its infancy in Turner
Valley through to the ongoing development of the Athabasca Oil Sands.
Featuring the art work of contemporary artists whose creative
expressions have been engaged by the petroleum industry in Alberta,
this exhibition encourages the viewer to consider the history and
importance of, and challenges presented by, this industry. The art works
and educational materials which accompany this exhibition examine
some of the impacts the oil industry has had on the development of the
province and how the extraction and processing of oil resources has
affected, and continues to affect, the lives of Albertans.
The exhibition Black Gold features the work of artists Paul Bernhardt,
Bruno Canadien, Steven Dixon, Judith E. Hall, Leya Russell and Justin
Wayne Shaw. Through their works these artists present their
perceptions of the oil industry, inviting reflection on the diverse and
complex environmental and social issues associated with the extraction
and use of ‘black gold.’
The exhibition Black Gold was curated by Shane Golby, Art Gallery of Alberta, for the Alberta
Foundation for the Arts Travelling Exhibition Program.

Storytellers | Available September 2013 to August 2014
Who doesn’t love a good story? Our entire lives are bound by the relating
of events: what happened? where did it happen? how did it happen? who
did it happen to? how did it end? These are the questions, and it is the
answers to these questions, that teach us; that guide our relationships
with others; and that form the memories we either cherish…or that
haunt us to the end of our days.

Storytelling is found in all human cultures and the relating of stories
visually is called Narrative Art. In such art work stories can be told either
as a moment in an ongoing story or as a sequence of events unfolding
over time. Until the late 19th century much of Western art was
narrative in nature, depicting stories from religion, myth, legend, history
and literature. Such works may depict grand or important events or
ideas, expressed through the genre of History Paintings, or be concerned
with humble scenes or events from everyday life, articulated in Genre
Scenes. Whatever the form of expression such representations contain
the literary elements of setting, character, and narrative point of view.
Most importantly, however, to be considered an actual story or involve
narrative a visual art work must possess one crucial element: it must
either imply or actually portray action.
Drawn from the collection of the Alberta Foundation for the Arts, the
art works in this exhibition investigate the narratives related by artists
as well as the types of stories told and the various ways they have been
presented in a visual manner.
The exhibition Storytellers was curated by Shane Golby, Art Gallery of Alberta, for the Alberta
Foundation for the Arts Travelling Exhibition Program.
Wild Thing! | Available October 2013 to February 2014
If your venue missed it before, now is your chance to go WILD as Wild Thing! is
returning to TREX Region 2 for a limited engagement!
Since the dawn of human history animal imagery has been part of
humankinds’ cultural repertoire. Whether created as expressions of
‘sympathetic magic’, for spiritual and symbolic purposes, as romantic
expressions of man’s relationship to nature, or simply in appreciation
and awe of the wild, visual representations of wild animals have featured
in the records of all cultures on every continent throughout time.

Like all genres of artistic examination the visual renderings of animals
reflects the various artistic styles practiced by artists. From realistic
representations to abstract impressions, the artists in the exhibition Wild
Thing! have pursued the ‘wild things’ of Alberta and beyond, capturing
them in a variety of manners, with a diversity of materials, and for a
multitude of reasons.
The exhibition Wild Thing!, featuring art works from the collection of the
Alberta Foundation for the Arts, investigates this pursuit and celebrates
the beauty of ‘wild things’ and the important place they hold within the
world and the consciousness of humankind.
The exhibition Wild Thing! was curated by Shane Golby, Art Gallery of Alberta, for the Alberta
Foundation for the Arts Travelling Exhibition Program.

Path Makers | Available January 2014 to December 2014
Contemporary First Nations artists are now recognized as a significant
and a distinct part in the fabric of Canadian art history. But it wasn’t
always that way. To find way, Aboriginal artists supported each other.
They pushed for the inclusion of Aboriginal art in exhibitions, in galleries,
in collections and they advocated for the highest level of art education
for First Nations people. This exhibition honors four fine role models
who have passed on to the other side; Dale Auger, Joane Cardinal-
Schubert, Brenda Jones and Kimowan Metchewais.

Aboriginal artists are acutely aware of the lineage in Aboriginal Art
History. The relationships are like family. Aboriginal artists are like
grandparents, aunties and uncles and cousins to other Aboriginal artists,
even if they never met. Dale, Joane, Brenda and Kimowan created
relationships and pathways for many future First Nations artists. They
inspire us with the artwork they left behind, the lives they shared and,
most importantly, the inspiration to create.

Our Wilderness is Wisdom | Available July 2014 to December 2014
If you know wilderness in the way that you know love you would be unwell
to let it go....This is the story of our past and it will be the story of our future.
...to be whole, to be complete. Wilderness reminds us what it means to be
human, what we are connected to rather than what we are separate from.

When trying to draw a line from artist to artist the subject matter is the
relationship they share. The artists in this exhibition tell a story using
contrasting mediums to carry a message unique to them. Our ancestors
used metaphors in storytelling for everything including lessons to teach
children how to hunt, sew and live. The simple life they led was reliant
on the land they lived in and respected through prayer to the Great Spirit
or Creator. What is unique for us to remember of this existence and ever
flowing change of our society is that we need to return to our roots. The
artists in the exhibition Our wilderness is wisdom... examine their own
lives and their canvases are like the soles of their moccasins: the land
underneath them is what they understand. Through their paintings they
become many voices telling stories of the past, present and future.
The exhibition Our wilderness is wisdom... features the work of First
Nations artists Tanya Harnett, Alex Janvier and Curtis Johnson.
The exhibition Our Wilderness is Wisdom... was curated by Heather Shillinglaw for the Alberta
Foundation for the Arts Travelling Exhibition Program. This exhibition was generously funded by

Trace: Reflections on Landscape | Available September 2013 to February 2014
A trace is a mark left by the passage of a person, animal or thing on the
physical environment. Often it is barely perceivable and temporary,
soon being removed by time and nature. Sometimes it persists for
longer, permanently altering the landscape. This exhibition is an attempt
to record, or make visible, that trace for posterity and to comment upon
the impact that humanity has on the environment.

Trace: Reflections on Landscape features the art of Eveline Kolijn, Leslie
Sweder and Colin Smith. Eveline Kolijn is a versatile printmaker who
references the effects of mechanization and industrialization upon
the landscape of northern Alberta and elsewhere. She is also keenly
interested in the underlying patterns and processes of nature. Leslie
Sweder uses improvisational drawing to translate urban commotion
based on auditory and visual sensations into beautiful and whimsical
line drawings. Colin Smith makes luxurious photographs using a
camera obscura technique. The dilapidated structures in his Abandoned
Landscape series eloquently address the passage of time and traces
of human activity consumed by nature. Each artist seems to share
an interest in recording or commenting on a human footprint within
specific landscapes.
This exhibition is curated by Caroline Loewen and Les Pinter, Alberta Society of Artists
Portraiture | Available September 2013 to February 2014
While the aim of portraiture has always been to show the inner essence
of the sitter, its methods have changed over the years. This exhibition
will attempt to show the different styles of portraiture and the different
ways artists have attempted to most truthfully capture their subjects.
From James Nicoll’s traditional representation of his wife Marion to
Stanford Perrott’s fractured and abstracted views of the human body,
this exhibition explores the changing art of portraiture.
Artists included in this exhibition are Debra Bachman Smith, Maxwell
Bates, Lisa Brawn, Allyson Glenn, Roy Kiyooka, Steven Mack, Helen
Mackie, RFM McInnis, Margaret Mooney, James Nicoll, Marion Nicoll,
Erik Olson, Stanford Perrott, Aaron Sidorenko, John Snow and William

Ether and Procession: Peter von Tiesenhausen
Available September 2013 to February 2014
By definition Ether is the fifth element after air, earth, fire and water and
was believed to be the substance composing all heavenly bodies and was
derived from the Latin aether or the Greek aither and means to burn or to
shine. Procession by definition is the act of moving along or forward in
progression; to emanate or rise.
Alberta artist Peter von Tiesenhausen has a fierce connection to the
land. That connection is present in all of his work, whether it’s painting,
mixed media, an installation or a sculpture made of willow branches,
granite, bronze or wood. Peter von Tiesenhausen uses any medium to
communicate.

Much of his work deals with transformation and transience. His art is about
speaking a certain language and having each one of his works just be a part
of a continuing dialogue. The land is the canvas, the trees, the lay of the
land everything is part of his artwork. Documenting the process, whether it
is by printmaking, or sculpture as in the Ether and Procession series, offers a
means to get the point across. For Peter von Tiesenhausen all living things
come from the earth and he uses all of the materials to make all of the
elements that communicate his connection to the land.
This exhibition includes works from the series Ether and Procession that are
made up of etchings and aluminum foil, chine colle, photo etching prints
and small bronze sculptures.
This exhibition is curated by Todd Schaber, Art Gallery of Grande Prairie
Memory Images | Available March 2014 to August 2014
This exhibition focuses on the uneasy relationship between photography
and memory, and addresses whether or not photography can act as an
aid or a hindrance to memory. It explores themes of memory-images,
collective memory and the relationship between space, time and memory
and features the work of photographers Dianne Bos, Mark Florian and Sarah
Fuller.

The photographs included use different layering techniques, long or
multiple exposures to attempt to capture a scene. These methods and the
resulting images reference the layering of memories over time as well as
the loss of memory over time and the indistinct nature of visual memories.
Another major theme is memory and space. The images explore how
a specific space can be imbued with the feelings associated with past
experiences, and whether there is a physical significance to a sacred or
remembered space.
Memory Images encourages us to reflect on our own practices of memory
making and our use of images in our daily lives.
This exhibition is curated by Caroline Loewen, Alberta Society of Artists

In the Land of Magic Realism: Etchings by Garry Newton
Available March 2014 to August 2014
Garry Newton is known for his intricate etchings of exquisite plants,
birds and their environments. The laborious process of etching a design
from a copper plate has changed little since the 18th century but
Newton’s exacting standards of botanical accuracy combined with his
evidently profound engagement with nature infuse the painstakinglywrought
works with fresh enchantment.

Collection of the Esplanade Arts and Heritage Centre
This exhibition features a body of Newton’s work inspired by the novel,
Autumn of the Patriarch, written in 1975 by Gabriel García Márquez. The
pieces, Newton once explained, “present certain themes from the book
in a two-dimensional, flat quality, almost as though they were staged
scenery. No foreground, no background, just a middle ground… They’re
not illustrations per se from the book but they attempt to capture the
mood and the atmosphere and some of the events that occurred in the
novel.”
Newton was born in York, England, in 1939 and his family moved to
Medicine Hat, Alberta, in 1948. He studied science at the University of
Melbourne, Australia, and at the University of Alberta where he received
a bachelor’s degree in zoology. As a young man, he travelled extensively
through Europe and the United States before returning to Medicine Hat
to pursue a full-time artistic practice. Garry Newton passed away in
Medicine Hat in 2008.

Memories of the Farm: Watercolour Paintings by Hazel Litzgus
Available March 2014 to August 2014
Imagine growing up on a farm in a small community during the 1930s.
Ceramic crocks from Medalta Potteries were used in every household,
food was kept cold in the ground and families ate only what the farm
could produce. It was a time of canning, milking, sleigh rides in the
snow and chopping wood for piles that always needed stocking.

Now celebrated among leaders of the Canadian folk art genre, Hazel
Litzgus has always painted. The youngest of four children who lived
on a family farm in Lloydminster, Alberta, she drew on precious pieces
of paper her mother saved especially for her. Today, she constructs
paintings from memory to capture a way of life that is lost to most.
Each detailed watercolor begins with a sketch which was inspired by the
retelling of a handwritten story.
“When our daughter was born, I wanted to make a record for her of the
childhood that shaped me,” says Litzgus. “I wanted her to see that small,
simple, plain farm and love it as I did.”
Hazel Litzgus now has a home and studio in Calgary.

Selected Comments on AGA TREX Exhibitions from the 2012/2013 Season:
Red Brick Arts Centre (Edson) - Linda Wright re: Our Wilderness is Wisdom
The Interpretive Kit was excellent and useful to our venue. At times our aboriginal visitors became quite emotional. The AFA
Travelling Exhibition Program has been fantastic - great shows that are accessible to lots of small venues.
Selected comments from exhibition visitors:
- Absolutely lovely!
- Awesome
- Preservation of the land and that it is the responsibility of us all - I thank these artists for their insights
- Awesome collection. Excited to see Janvier!
- It tells me (the art) how crucial it is to take care of Mother Earth and our precious water - thank you
- Excellent expression
Onoway Elementary School (Onoway) - Lori Bell re: A Room with a View
The booking procedure was very efficient and both the Booking Catalogue and Interpretive Kit were Excellent. Teachers
appreciated the activities and curriculum links and the exhibition provided an opportunity for students to experience a
variety of art. For many this was a first time experience. This was our first time and we look forward to more in the future.
Seamless!
Onoway Public Library (Onoway) - Kelly Huxley re: Maskwacis (Bear Hills)
Selected comments from exhibition visitors:
- Brilliant, gifted and inspiring art. Thank you so much for sharing your beauty and knowledge!
- Thankyou! Gives a completely different way of seeing Hobbema - traditional arts, yes, but also a much broader (younger?)
perspective
- Thankyou for sharing your art and talent with me. Thanks for the display! Love the bead work!
Grasmere School (Alberta Beach) - Amy Ouderkirk re: A Room with a View
The Booking Catalogue and Interpretive Kit were both excellent. We used the suggested activities and students enjoyed
the scavenger hunt. Students and staff loved how each piece was so different. The AFA Travelling Exhibition Program is
Excellent! Thank you.
Barrhead Public Library (Barrhead) - Elaine Dickie re: Down on the Farm
The Booking Catalogue and Interpretive Kit were both excellent. We used the education component for elementary school
students browsing the exhibit and gave the website information to members of the Barrhead Photography Club. In our rural
community this exhibit was ‘close to home’, and enjoyed by all ages. This exhibition received high praise from the many folks
that viewed it. The three photographers each had very distinct styles and one cannot help but compare and contrast their
styles and their subjects: a most delicious experience. The Visiting Artist Program presentation given by Dawn Saunders
Dahl was Excellent. Dawn was great with the class, the participants were pushed out of their painting comfort zone, taught
a new technique and the results of the workshop were amazing....
Ardmore School (Ardmore) - Evelyn Bourbeau re: La Vie Fantastique
The Interpretive Kit was useful to our venue. We used the Reading Pictures program and the Visual Learning worksheet. The
exhibition was well received by visitors. Some felt it was ‘dark’ but it made them think!! Both the Booking Catalogue and
the Interpretive Kit were excellent and the AFA Travelling Exhibition Program is also excellent - a 10+
Selected comments from exhibition visitors:
- Very different. Relatable. Fun and creepy (no offense)
- Unique and beautiful
- Creative! Some are dark and gloomy...but cool!
H.E. Bourgoin Middle School (Bonnyville) - Cheryl Edwards re: Urban Animals
The curator statement and artist bio were very useful and we loved this exhibition! Very colorful, happy, simple, enjoyable....
The AFA Travelling Exhibition Program is excellent.
