David Garneau: Road Kill
May 1st - 23rd, 2010
Featuring the work of Saskatchewan Metis artist David Garneau, Road Kill is an exhibition of acrylic and oil paintings and drawings of birds and deer killed on prairie highways by automobiles along the old Carlton Trail. These are not gory pictures meant to disgust; nor are they images of cute dead animals designed to elicit only pathos. They are realistic representations of fauna composed to create a tension between beauty and the grotesque, pleasure and pain, resemblance and abstraction. They are attractive images that discover beauty in an unconventional source. They have us wonder about the ethics of our pleasure and progress and encourage us to contemplate our short time in the world.
Show opens:
Saturday, May 1st
Open to the public, 1:30 - 3:30 pm.
Show continues to May 23rd with viewing from:
9 a.m. - 12 p.m. and 1 p.m. - 5 p.m., Monday to Saturday |

Carri J. McKinnon: Illuminated Spaces
August 1st - 23rd, 2010
Carri McKinnon is inspired by the emotional pull and visual poetry of forgotten places. High contrast imagery and the patterns created by prairie sunlight and shadows create stark spaces which draw her in. McKinnon says, “When bright sunlight steals into an abandoned structure, that ‘dark corner’ is illuminated; the transformation fascinates me. The sunlight, impartial to the ‘quality’ of what is in its path, bathes the space, causing it to become something new. My work is meant to invite the viewer in. Silvery light draws the viewer in to the spaces I have discovered/ created.
Show opens:

Show continues to August 23rd with viewing from:
