AUG. 9, 2025 - OCT. 18, 2025
CURRENT EXHIBITION
Namaakii Bee Bear Hat’s solo exhibition Something Given is a reflection on the lessons and knowledge of remaining self-sufficient on the land that is passed through generations. In the exhibition, these teachings are made tangible through small ceramic sculptures of the gifted objects associated with each lesson.
In Image Metabolisms, Nancy Valladares unearths the networks of extractive fossil economies and the chemical processes of fossilized life that photography hinges upon. In this, her first solo exhibition in Canada, Valladares uncovers the interwoven systems of corporate, chemical, and extractive processes that enable visual culture. Each material in Image Metabolisms is a node in the interconnected web between photography and fossil fuels. Asphalt, bitumen, video, sound, solar-powered fountains, and lavender oil form a constellation of matter that visualizes the concealed network of extraction.

UPCOMING EXHIBITION
The photographs of Lethbridge-based artist David M.C. Miller are made in resonance with the seemingly infinite abundance of the sun. His work reimagines photography not as the containment of light, but as an encounter with its boundlessness — a document of its infinitude beyond the lens. In Other Suns, Miller upends the mechanics and temporal assumptions of traditional photography. Working entirely without a camera, Miller draws directly with light. Each photograph is developed by hand through successive exposures, resulting in delicate, vivid fields that suggest both atmosphere and space, yet resist clear resolution.
