PRINCIPLES of Enclosure
Gambletron, Johnny Forever Nawracaj, zev tiefenbach lean into the vacillating sense of alienation and familiarly brought on by the residential build environment. Teifenbach's photographs of local dwelling spaces, construction sites, and material decay dialogue with Forever Nawracaj's digital collage pairing ubiquitous construction materials with equally cheaply-made objects, such as wigs, made to construct and signify gendered identity. Meanwhile, Gambletron's sound installation acts as a sonic and material counterpart to the hung work.
PLASTIC GRASS - Michaela Bridgemohan, Natasha Harvey, Scott Moore.
June 4 to July 16, 2022
UBCO MFA graduate show
Scott's artwork uses hyper-real digital and sculptural renderings of everyday objects to addresses how we relate to our environment. Natasha's large-scale collage and lino-print works consider a paradox of revering the beauty of natural spaces while canceling those spaces out through rampant development. Michaela's work explores topics around relational connections, cultural identity, ritualistic use of both traditional and unconventional materials.

The blurred lines drawn between artist and artisan...a debate always makes good dinner conversation and was a fascinating subject for this year’s Members’ Exhibition.
On The Eighth Day - Julie Oakes and Christian Bernard Singer
an exhibition that explores the act of creating as inherently linked to the ability to destroy in order to bring about harmony and peace, or chaos and loss. As we grapple with the climate crisis and a world pandemic, humans are being given an opportunity to review our relationship with the land that we were given, but on which we are merely passing tenants.

Me Looking at You Looking at Me - contemplating the female gaze Female Gaze
"The term, female gaze, was introduced to me in an art school during a gender studies class, we studied the work of artists Cindy Sherman, Barbara Kruger, Jenny Holzer. We discussed books written by Jane Rule, Erica Jong (Fear of Flying), and Anais Nin and watched the 1990 Canadian documentary, The Burning Times. We looked at films and debated the current mood(s) of popular culture. Very much one of my favorite classes, but keep in mind this all took place between 1989 and 1992. It is now 2020, and the female gaze is taking on a much broader scope than in previous years. Society’s definition of gender is opening up, and we recognize all the word identity encompasses. We now think of femininity as a spectrum, expanding the conversation of what it means to be female. Me Looking at You, Looking at Me, brings together artists who are challenging, expanding and exploring the definition of female and the term female gaze while adding to the conversation of identity."

Beside Her - a pop-up exhibition organized by The Laundry Room Collective.
The Laundry Room is an artist collective run by Brooklyn Bellmond and Moozhan Ahmadzadegan.
With the goal of fostering community and connection through the arts. We value diversity, accessibility, and inclusion, and have been planning and hosting events and pop-ups in Lake Country that meet those values. Mara Tamez work draws on personal themes of belonging, identity, place, borders, displacement, and history. She (re)thinks and (re)examines the effects of colonialism on Dene Ndé peoples. Je’egi is a response to my navigation in art and identity in 2020. Hagar Wirba selection of portraits and landscape intends to celebrate the irrefutable divinity of indigenous women and land alike, from West to East, North to South. Additionally, the exhibition includes poetry with a visual element by Maura Tamez and Ashleigh Giffen and speaks to a state of Indigeneity that is still strong in the voices of Indigenous women.

An Ekphrastic Poem
Liz Earl, Michael Griffin, John Waite, Lois Huey-Heck
An Ekphrastic poem is a vivid description of a scene or, more commonly, a work of art. Through the imaginative act of narrating and reflecting on the “action” of a painting or sculpture, the poet may amplify and expand its meaning.
Dedication, practice, time…these three words are the foundation of this exhibition. I have known Earl, Griffin, Huey-Heck and Waite for 25 plus years. An Ekphrastic Poem is an acknowledgement to the life of an artist.

CLOTHCULTURE
Cloth Tone's Larissa Beringer and Lindsay Lorraine; Beth Howe; Zoe Kreye; Tiziana La Melia; Holly Ward
The exhibition, Cloth Culture, brings together six contemporary artists to explore the tacit emotional and experiential resonance achieved through the active labor of material production and bodily awareness. Works by Cloth Tone (Larissa Beringer and Lindsay Lorraine), Beth Howe, Zoe Kreye, Tiziana La Melia and Holly Ward manipulate and engage with varying textile materials and time-intensive (slow) processes to produce a series of propositional works that value an underlying investment in labor, mobility, and self-engagement. Revealing a sensitivity to the inherit value of bodily experience, tactility and form - a certain vibrancy calls attention to these artists’ relationship to our basic human needs for tactile experience, meditative movement, nature and local economies of scale. In turn, Cloth Culture challenges our relationship to cloth, craft and consumption.

Atklokem
Barb Marchand; David Wilson; Mariel Belanger; Sheldon Louis
As part of the Lake Country Art Gallery’s exploration of community I recognize the importance of providing opportunities for a discourse related to the Syilx, the Indigenous people of the Okanagan, and to facilitate discussions about the history and future of the people and this land. The LCAG welcomes David Wilson, to serve as a supporting curator, for this exhibition. By inviting supporting curators into the gallery, we can stay relevant, reflect the times, move forward, and make space for other voices. This process then allows us to respond to conversations that are happening around the Okanagan Valley. We must give voice to Okanagan artists and curators who create work intended to inform and challenge us. These exhibitions make us think about the history of the land and those who have come before us.

Behind the Studio Door
David Alexander; Katherine Pickering; Jeroen Witliet; Malcolm McCormick
Behind the Studio Door is about the work and time not usually seen by the public. The amount of work that goes into an artistic practice leaves me with an image of ‘guts all over the studio floor’ after a typical studio session, not literally, of course, could be metaphorically, allegorically or imaginary…you pick. Of course, there is no ‘typical’ art studio, the space is diverse as the artwork produced in them. And that is exactly what this exhibition is about, four artists, David Alexander, Katherine Pickering, Jeroen Witliet and Malcolm McCormick let us peek into their process and private spaces.
