Maskwacîs (Bear Hills)<br />
Available January <strong>2010</strong><br />
to December <strong>2010</strong><br />
A public narrative surrounds Hobbema, known to the Nehiyaw (Cree)<br />
who live there as Maskwacîs. The community is <strong>of</strong>ten painted with one<br />
brush: a place from which only one story has been told to <strong>Alberta</strong>ns<br />
and Canada as a whole. For the Nehiyaw, however, the dynamics <strong>of</strong><br />
Maskwacîs are much greater and more diverse than what stereotypes<br />
allow. The exhibition Maskwacîs examines the framework <strong>of</strong> representation<br />
and authorship through narratives constructed by those who<br />
acutally ‘live the story’. Presenting an eclectic mix <strong>of</strong> art works created<br />
by both young artists and pr<strong>of</strong>essionals, this exhibition reflects upon<br />
the attributes important to the Nehiyaw and their individual stories.<br />

Checkerboard and Other Patterns presents an eclectic group<br />
<strong>of</strong> art works by a variety <strong>of</strong> <strong>Alberta</strong> artists. The emphasis is on<br />
pattern and colour. By definition a pattern is anything repeated in a<br />
predicatable combination, and is usually made up <strong>of</strong> lines that are<br />
linear, curvilinear, geometric or pictorial in nature. This exhibition<br />
will provide artistic insights into the use and effects <strong>of</strong> these visual<br />
elements.<br />
Drawn from the collections <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Alberta</strong> Government, the <strong>Alberta</strong><br />
Foundation for the <strong>Art</strong>s and the Prairie <strong>Art</strong> <strong>Gallery</strong>, this exhibition<br />
features work from Helen Archer, Michael Burns, Daniel Campbell,<br />
David Crockett, John Esler, Francine Gravel, Ruth Haley, Bill<br />
McCarroll, C.S. McConnell, Katie Ohe, Lyndal Osborne, Garry<br />
Newton, John Reading, Harry Savage, and John Snow. The artists<br />
have used a variety <strong>of</strong> processes to produce their works including<br />
printmaking, drawing, painting, and mixed media.<br />
