Melany Nugent and Trent Noble January 13th to February 25th Opening Reception: Saturday January 13th 2-4pm Existential Cafe/Artist Talk: Sunday January 28th 2-3:30pm The Lake Country is very excited to start off 2018 with an installation by artists Melany Nugent and Trent Noble. This installation will ponder the idea of community and activate the gallery as a gathering space by enhancing a sense of warmth, comfort and home with a virtual campfire. Trent Noble and Melany Nugent Noble are Kelowna-based artists that work across an array of mediums, including animation, text, and public space. As a classically and 3D trained animator, Trent has worked on a diverse range of installations, video and interactive projects across Canada and internationally, including Stan Douglas’ Circa 1948 interactive app for iOS, and the play Helen Lawrence with the National Film Board of Canada. Also the Rockheim Museum in Trondheim, Norway. In her artistic practice, Melany Noble makes use of tactics of play that are negotiated through text and public space that aim to collate, destabilize and amplify repetition and patterns in order to create slippage and displacement of rhetoric, language and everyday routine. She has a Masters of Applied Arts from Emily Carr University of Art + Design, in Vancouver B.C. and in 2016, was the recipient of an Emerging Artist Grant from the BC Arts Council.

April 5 - May 20th “We do not inherit the earth from our ancestors; we borrow it from our children” --Unknown This exhibition invites artists to respond to the environmental changes happening throughout the Okanagan Valley. The past year in the Okanagan brought major flooding throughout the spring resulting in personal property damage and had us thinking about climate change and our relationship to nature. That conversation took on more urgency in the summer months with the lack of rain, forest fires, lost homes and day after day of smoke-filled skies. This exhibition explores current ecological crises and presents a platform for a discussion on the Anthropocene—the current ecological epoch that represents humanity’s dominant influence on the planet. Guest curator Hanss Lujan is a Peruvian artist, writer and emerging curator living in the Okanagan. He has worked on a variety of exhibitions and projects for galleries in Kelowna including the Kelowna Art Gallery and the Alternator Centre for Contemporary Art. His project research themes include place and cultural identity, globalization, and socially engaged practices. The Lake Country Art Gallery looks to collaborate with those who are interested in pursuing a career as a professional curator and each year offer an opportunity to work with the gallery membership to produce an exhibition on a given theme proposed by the guest curator. Submission Drop off: March 29, 30 and 31
