Very excited to say that MACROMAREAL (a rising tide lifts all boats) will be opening at SNAP (Society of Northern Alberta Print-artists) on September 11, 2020!~

It's a VERY odd time to be presenting work to the public - but I am so happy with all the precautions SNAP has in place, and so very happy to sew showing work in their BRAND NEW home!

There's several things going on for this iteration of MACROMAREAL. Both Scott and I have re-worked existing elements of the project, and I have been busy since the last time this work was shown making a bunch of new prints! So, brand new work for us in a new space - how lucky can you get??

The exhibition will be opening on the evening of September 11, from 7 - 9 pm. This will be a hybrid event: SNAP is pre-booking (free) tickets to see the show in person, and limiting the number of people in the gallery at one time, so that everyone can stay safe AND see the art in person. We will also be online - Scott & I are attending the Opening virtually, so more people can see the work in person if they want to - and anyone else who wants to attend virtually is welcome to do so as well!

There will also be a socially-distanced LIVE performance of Scott Smallwood's score "Macromareal Prelude: in Fog and Storm and Sunshine" on Saturday September 12, at 1:00 pm local time, in the immediate neighbourhood of SNAP, outsdoors. We are both extremely happy to be able to work with some excellent local Edmonton musicians for this event, and to be able to present this work live in a safe way. This is a 'roving' performance work; the musicians will be moving in the neighbourhood as they play, and will be distanced; we ask that anyone attending keep 2metres or more from any musician(s) they encounter, and PLEASE wear a MASK!

Scott and I will also be presenting an artists' talk about the genesis and evolution of the project on Saturday, October 10th, again at 1pm local time. This talk will be presented online.
