Under the Wire

Under the Wire

by | Feb 1, 2020 | News

In 1984 you see how things might have been with freedom of expression lost. It now seems that after two world wars we just managed “under the wire” to restore a society in which freedom can be openly expressed.

Exhibitions and events

Earth

A juried group exhibition of Alberta Artists. Over a four-year period, the ASA invited submissions to the respective exhibitions Fire, Water, and Air, concluding the series with Earth.

Frozen In Time

The Call for Submissions went out to all Alberta artists: “Open to interpretation; the emphasis is on stillness either literally or formally. It may be time – lapse or still frame inspired as in photography or separated from time as in the fragment of a dream or a fleeting memory of the past. Geological and fossilized stratification could also be of interest both in terms of painting or sculpture.”

Nocturn

The artworks shown in this Alberta Society of Artists juried group exhibition have been selected based upon individual responses to the original call for submissions:
From the Merriam Webster dictionary:
“The origin and etymology of NOCTURN: Middle English nocturne, borrowed from Anglo-French, borrowed from Medieval Latin nocturnus,
going back to Latin, feminine of nocturnus “of the night.”
