Road to War | Dr. Suzanne Steele

  • Fri, Sep 20, 20197:00 PM  Mon, Nov 11, 20198:00 PM
  • Penticton Art Gallery (map)

War is a strange story to tell, for its commonalities as a public narrative, its clichés, and paradoxically, the uniqueness of the individual's experience. This installation, Road to War, is designed to reflect the destabilization of perception in the war zone, the common experience, and the personal. It is an invitation to choose a war experience by embracing silence, ambient sound, or the mediated narrative of Steele's poetry as spoken by actors and voice-overs. The footage was shot from 2008-2009, in situ, at Suffield, Wainwright, Shilo, Kandahar Airfield, and Bulunday (Kandahar Province), outside the wire, with the First Battalion Princess Patricia’s Canadian Light Infantry and Task Force 3-09.

Champs des Visions/Fields of Visions/Blickfelder, 2015 | Dr. Suzanne Steele
​
  • Fri, Sep 20, 20197:00 PM  Mon, Nov 11, 20198:00 PM
  • Penticton Art Gallery (map)

​Champs des Visions/Fields of Vision/Blickfelder, is a 24 minute meditation on the consequence of landscape shot solely from the vantage of the ground upwards in the battlefields, the woods, the graveyards, and the monuments to the dead of the Great War in Northern France. It was filmed during 2014-2015 by the Canadian war artist Dr. Steele (Afghanistan Task-Force 3-09) and is intended to provoke thoughtfulness into the dangers and boredom of the deadly flat landscape of the Western Front. During the Great War most soldiers, when not in kinetic combat, stared for hours and days and months and years at the sky, often not seeing the dangerous horizon, except when utterly necessary.

Peggie Collins's

Cross Canada Tour

Gallery One-Twenty-Seven
127 Elm Avenue, Penticton
 
​You're invited to the 

Opening, Saturday, November 30, 1 to 7 pm

In 2018, on an art sabbatical, Okanagan artist Peggie Collins crossed Canada and back (15,000 km) from the Pacific shores of Vancouver to the northern tip of Newfoundland and the cold Atlantic. She started out sharing her journey by painting in large canvases but soon realized the impracticality of such and turned to working on 4” x 4” canvas sheets which she calls her Mini Memories. Collins claims, “My Canadian Tour inspired me and gave me a special appreciation for our beautiful and varied country. I am blessed to have had this opportunity and each Mini Memories painting evokes a smile as my brush strokes lock each special story onto canvas.”
 
On Saturday, November 30 from 1 to 7 pm, member Peggie Collins invites you to join her at the opening of her new Gallery One- Twenty-Seven  at 127 Elm Avenue in Penticton. All 100 of her Mini Memories series of original paintings and more will be on display and for sale.

Black Forest (village)

Diana Thorneycroft

October 10 - December 19, 2019


https://dianathorneycroft.com


Diana Thorneycroft is an artist from Winnipeg and has had her work exhibited all across the world. She has shown her work in Canada, The United States, Europe, Moscow, Tokyo, and Sydney. Her work is anything but conventional, as she finds herself “merging beauty with the grotesque.” Her exhibition Black Forest (dark waters) is a series of photographs and a large diorama that tell a dark tale about mutant creatures, their herdsmen and the town they live in. In these works, Thorneycroft continues to embrace the grotesque.
