SUMMARY:Otipemisiwak Fantasy
DESCRIPTION:In Otipemisiwak Fantasy\, Riel Starr explores Métis culture through an Indigiqueer perspective. Starr unapologetically conceptualizes Métis futurism through traditionally crafted contemporary objects in order to honour their own personal connection to their culture\, the land\, and the survivance of historical Two-Spiritness. \nOpening reception: October 23rd\, 2026\, from 6:30 to 9 pm \nRiel Starr will give an exhibition tour\, starting at 6:30 pm. \nImage: Otipemisiwak Fantasy.

SUMMARY:Natalie Gerber: load
DESCRIPTION:As an artist and a maker\, Natalie Gerber is interested in metamorphosis\, flux\, and endless cycles of becoming\, learning\, and unlearning. In this new\, site-specific installation\, Gerber brings together ceramic and textile to consider the transformative potential of weight\, gravity\, and duration. \nload begins with a constellation of ceramic forms that alternately evoke rocks\, eggs\, or celestial bodies. The forms are slip-cast\, a process wherein liquid clay is poured into a mold\, forming a skin-like surface which is revealed when the mold is released. Close inspection of the ceramics reveal the gradations within Gerber’s process\, particularly the slow deterioration of the slip-cast molds. Suspended above the ceramic forms is a sculptural silk lattice that cascades down the space akin to a net\, veil\, or shroud. To create the lattice\, Gerber laser-cuts individual modules of fused silk with a pattern that allows the two-dimensional fabric to expand into three-dimensions when pinned together and draped. In turn\, the silk lattice will evolve slowly across the duration of the installation\, gradually expanding like a lung or a ribcage. \nWhile the body is not represented directly\, it imbues Gerber’s work\, appearing in the dimpled flesh of the ceramics\, and the corporeal drape and fascia-like web of the silk lattice. Like the fallible\, malleable human body\, her work is never fixed or static either. Rather\, it is continuously shaped and re-shaped by the unrelenting forces of gravity and time.

SUMMARY:Jane Jin Kaisen: Burial of This Order
DESCRIPTION:Burial of This Order brings together three works by Jane Jin Kaisen that underscore her ongoing interest in ritual\, collectivity\, capitalist critique\, and the possibilities of social and political transgressions. \nThe exhibition centres on Kaisen’s titular video installation (2022)\, through which the audience is invited to follow a funerary procession gathered to ceremoniously bury a world order built upon hierarchy and division. The social actors called on to perform this duty\, including artists\, poets and activists\, transgress traditional ceremonial practices indicating that this ritualized enactment is a funeral without grievers\, assembled to dismantle unlivable structures\, rather than lament current conditions. \nThe exhibition’s central work is accompanied by Sorrow Waters This Land (2024) and Dokkaebi (2024). The former focuses on the setting for the procession – a derelict resort on Jeju Island that was abandoned following the IMF financial crisis of the 1990s\, now persisting as a crumbling ruin of capitalism. The latter features powerful Dokkaebi deities from Korean folklore\, unpredictable tricksters who dance suggestively through the space\, haunting or perhaps compelling the procession.

SUMMARY:Curtis Talwst Santiago: worlds\, worlds\, worlds
DESCRIPTION:worlds\, worlds\, worlds explores how stories are held and carried across the vestiges of history and memory. Rooted in a form of world-building where inherited imagination meets critical fabulation¹\, the exhibition celebrates polyphonic identities that negotiate different geographies across time\, weaving the material\, the fragmentary\, and the ever-evolving within storytelling. \nCentral to the Contemporary Calgary presentation is a focused survey of Santiago’s dioramas. Begun in 2008 and collectively known as the Infinity Series\, these intimate works move fluidly between personal memories of Caribbean community life: basement dance parties\, the quintessential barbershop\, figures dreaming in the grass\, and broader collective histories such as migration crises and the rise of territorialism in its many forms. These scenes are portrayed as something precious and deliberately sheltered\, worlds that can be held in the palm of a hand\, inviting careful observation of details often overlooked.
