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.

SUMMARY:Tre Stewart
DESCRIPTION:Tre’ Stewart found Comedy pretty early in life. While other kids were watching cartoons he was watching Saturday Night Live\, writing jokes and doing impressions preparing himself for his inevitable career in Stand Up Comedy. Tre’ first picked up the mic 9 Years ago at the tender age of 16 and never looked back. Stewart possesses a relaxed\, laid-back comedic delivery where the punch lines come in more of an intimate and conversational style of someone sharing a funny story over the water cooler at work or on the basketball court. The Detroit Native left the motor city in 2012 to pursue his dreams of performing comedy in Los Angeles. Just 6 months after moving to LA he was taken in by the World Famous Comedy Store and has been honing his craft there and various other clubs in and around the LA area ever since. Stewart made his television debut in April performing stand up on the show Laughs on Fox.

SUMMARY:Elzbieta Krawecka – A Space that Remembers
DESCRIPTION:A Space That Remembers reflects my belief that places can inhabit us as much as we inhabit them. “Through painting\, I seek to create spaces where observation\, memory\, emotion\, and imagination come together—spaces that invite us to look closely\, to reflect\, and to consider what a landscape carries\, what it has witnessed\, and what we carry with us”\, Elzbieta. \nShow from October 15 to November 4\, 2026. \nOpening Reception: Saturday\, October 17th from 2-5 PM; artist in attendance.

SUMMARY:Jack Bishop: In The Pines
DESCRIPTION:Newzones is pleased to present In The Pines\, a solo exhibition of new work by Canadian contemporary painter\, Jack Bishop. \nIn these new paintings segments of the Trans-Canada are like a topiary\, where the tree lines carve out an ornamental landscape the highway cuts through. The liminal space through the wilderness in a commute. For a fleeting moment the light changes\, and the familiar surroundings emote a sense of nostalgia\, romanticism or déjà vu. \nInspired by scrubby roadside foliage\, these landscapes reimagine surrounding ditches and medians into nuanced spaces where colour\, light\, and gesture take centre stage. Moving away from realism and photographic references\, the paintings embrace an intuitive approach from memory and lived experience. The tree lines become embellished forms\, while thick impasto and fluorescent palettes activate the painted surface\, creating landscapes that oscillate between figuration\, abstraction\, and sensation.

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.

SUMMARY:Shaye Zadravec with Tim Leacock
DESCRIPTION:Shaye Zadravec\, a born-and-raised Calgarian and multi-disciplined artist\, continues to pursue her passion for music and live performance throughout Western Canada and beyond. \nIt’s very likely Shaye was singing her little heart out long before being able to form full sentences as a youngster and not much has changed since then. \nShaye has recorded and released two musical projects to date with a third one on the way. Her previous projects\, Norway and Now and Then\, reached audiences all over the world and led to extensive work domestically as well as two European tours throughout the Netherlands. \nWhile composing and performing original music is undoubtedly part of her artistic palette\, there is nothing Shaye loves more than taking apart\, dissecting\, rearranging\, and adding empathy into carefully curated material. Think of it as the art of interpretation. And it’s an art she humbly flourishes in.
