SUMMARY:Obsession
DESCRIPTION:Artfully documenting skateboard graphics from the 1980s\, 1990s\, and early 2000s\, Obsession traces Kevin Lowry and his friends’ lifelong fascination with skateboarding and graphic design. \nWhat began as a childhood interest has grown into a collection of more than 250 rare skateboards\, including complete sets from iconic brands such as Alien Workshop\, Habitat\, Girl\, and Chocolate. \nDriven by nostalgia and a desire to preserve the memories and visual culture of skateboarding\, Lowry has spent years tracking down individual boards and complete sets from collectors around the world. Obsession celebrates both the dedication of collecting and the enduring cultural impact of skateboard graphics. \nThe collection features work by influential skateboard artists including Evan Hecox\, Don Pendleton\, and Joe Castrucci\, who transformed the skateboard deck into a canvas for distinctive visual languages and artistic expression.

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.
