New Artists at the 7 Window Galleries

CALGARY – EPCOR CENTRE for the Performing Arts is thrilled to present three local artists who will showcase photography and sculpture in the 7 Window Galleries.

Targeting the imagination and perception of scale, Hakan Temuçin presents a photographic interpretation of natural landscapes in an Ordered World. Tim Westbury shares Ball & Stick, prints that create a twenty-four panel installation focusing on the legacies of scientific rationalism and the reintroduction of methods of inquiry now rendered obsolete. Paul Boultbee’s sculptural installation Monument speaks to memory and permanence and the need to leave something behind.  

The artists were selected by a panel jury with the aim of promoting critical dialogue and to introduce patrons and passersby to new artistic practices supported by EPCOR CENTRE.

For those of us working in ceramics, you have probably seen Paul Boultbee around the studio.  He also works at the Red Deer College's library and is heavily involved with the arts around Red Deer.  He has been creating tube-like sculptures that are sawdust fired.  His pieces are cumulating in the show at the Epcor Centre in Calgary.  This is a fantastic opportunity to support a fellow Red Deer artist and I would highly recommend visiting his show while it is up.  Paul is also wonderfully welcoming and will happily discuss his work with you if you catch him around the studio.
