A Message from the
Executive Director
Happy New Year!
This is the Kamloops Art Gallery’s first Gallery
Guide for 2015 and I want to extend my
gratitude to all those who visited the
Gallery and brought their family, friends and
out-of-town visitors to see the exhibitions
in 2014. I also want to thank all those who
participated in an event, workshop or
program. Over 28,000 people visited us in
2014, up 15% from the previous year!
Arts, culture and heritage play an important
role in enriching our world and Kamloops has
become a cultural mecca with its numerous
arts organizations and opportunities to
engage in all aspects of the diverse world
of the visual and performing arts. This is
something to be very proud of given the fact
that Kamloops is a regional city with less than
a hundred thousand people.
Many friends of the Kamloops Art Gallery
generously supported our work throughout
the year as well. I would especially like to
acknowledge the Fawcett family who made
a significant donation in naming one of our
Central Gallery’s for the next five years.
I would like to mention a number of Gallery
highlights including our studio, school and
community programs that appeal to a wide
variety of individuals; the artists’, curators’
and Community Perspective talks that
expand on the featured exhibitions; and
our popular Gallery Store with its unique
made-by-hand merchandise.
Thank you to all our donors, sponsors
and members for your dedication and
commitment to the arts in Kamloops and to
the Kamloops Art Gallery!
As outlined throughout this guide, our
dedicated staff members have been
extremely busy planning and developing
programs for all age groups. As an art
museum with a mandate to exhibit both
contemporary and historical artworks, our
goal is to make connections between the
past and the present through programs
designed to entice curiosity and help deepen
your understanding of the visual arts.
I invite you to continue to visit the
Kamloops Art Gallery with your family,
friends, colleagues and neighbours.

Pam Hall
HouseWork(s)
January 17 to March 14, 2015
Artist’s Talk with Pam Hall
Saturday, January 17, 5:30 pm
Opening Reception
Saturday, January 17, 6:30 to 8:00 pm
See Page 9 for details
Pam Hall is an interdisciplinary artist working
across and sometimes in between the
boundaries of medium and discipline. She
makes visual art, constructs installations,
works with language and is engaged in film,
video and, most recently, performance.
She works alone (inside and outside of
her studios) and collaborates with others
(sometimes individuals, sometimes
communities). Based in St. John’s,
Newfoundland, she travels extensively to
pursue the creation and presentation of her
work. She also teaches graduate students in
the United States. Her work has been shown
throughout Canada and internationally.
For Hall, art’s work and thus her work is social
labour. In identifying her (art)work in this way,
the artist signals her awareness of the human
condition. Despite often strenuous and even
coercive efforts to silence, marginalize or
ignore them, the voices of (all of the) Others
are always and everywhere present. One
only has to listen for them. Hall celebrates
the extraordinary that she finds in so-called
“ordinary” lives. Her art is intentionally
provocative. More importantly, her works are

EXHIBITIONS
embarkation points that invite responses and
engender candid conversations.
HouseWork(s) represents a decade
(2004-2014) of creative work. This exhibition
shares the artist’s reflections, daily gestures,
invitations and exchanges with people
across the nation and around the world.
Hall engages us in serious word play
with her choice of title for the exhibition.
“Housework,” generally, is understood to
be women’s work. But Hall challenges some
of the gendered connotations of this term.
The word “house” functions as both a noun
and a verb. “House” may refer to a structure
or an action. As a structure, a house could
be a shelter, a place of refuge, a dwelling or
a sacred space. As an action, however, “to
house” is to hold, to encase, to collect, to
protect or to accommodate.
Prominent throughout this exhibition are
four suspended “five-pole houses.” These
structures hover above the floor of the
Gallery. They invade, inhabit and physically
reconfigure the space. We have to deal with
them. With HouseWork(s), the artist confronts
our complacency, alerts us to our humanity
and reveals the complexities and layered
associations underneath the skin of the easy
and familiar.
Pam Hall: HouseWork(s) is organized by
The Rooms Provincial Art Gallery Division,
St. John’s Newfoundland, with support of
The Canada Council for the Arts.

Ideas and Things

“The story of objects asserting themselves as
things, then, is the story of a changed relation
to the human subject and thus the story of
how the thing really names less an object
than a particular subject-object relation. And,
yet, the word things holds within it a more
audacious ambiguity.”
“Temporalized as the before and after of
the object, thingness amounts to a latency
(the not yet formed or the not yet formable)
and to an excess (what remains physically or
metaphysically irreducible to objects). But this
temporality obscures the all-at-onceness, the
simultaneity, of the object/thing dialectic and
the fact that, all at once, the thing seems to
name the object, just as it is, even as it names
some thing else.” Bill Brown, “Thing Theory,”
Things, 2004.
The social life of things (along with the
representation and “potency” of objects) has
been at the crux of visual culture since the
turn of the 20th Century and remains central
to theoretical debates today. The FrenchAmerican artist Marcel Duchamp’s disruption
4
EXHIBITIONS
to the definition of art is still being
interrogated by artists. Artistic production
centred on object culture has persevered.
Ideas and Things looks at current material
and conceptually based practices that are
steeped in this ethos, where objects are no
longer privileged but rather integrated into a
greater exploration of space, time, material
and subject. The exhibition brings together
the work of five artists whose practices
share a strong research methodology and
diverse approach to materiality through
the investigation of colour theory, text,
intervention into the conventions of gallery
display and integration of the everyday
object. The works question both the
monument and the monumental, and offer
a new currency of ideas about things.

Michael Markowsky
Faster Than the Speed
of Sound
January 17 to March 21, 2015
Opening Reception
Saturday, January 17, 6:30 to 8:00 pm
See Pages 9 and 10 for details
THE CUBE
Michael Markowsky’s practice combines
painting and performance. He typically draws
and paints while riding inside or on top of
moving cars, buses, boats, trains, airplanes
and even dogsleds. In July 2013, Markowsky
made 100 postcard-sized drawings while
flying faster than the speed of sound in a
Royal Canadian Air Force CF-18 “Hornet” jet
plane. The opportunity came about because
of his involvement in the Canadian Forces
Artists Program. Past participating artists in
this program include members of the Group
of Seven, David Milne, Charles Comfort and
Alexander Colville.
Over the past year, Markowsky has painted five
3 x 6 metre paintings based on the drawings
he made in the jet plane. The final project
will be to build a scaled down fighter plane
sculpture out of wood and canvas around
which the paintings will be displayed. When it
is complete, viewers will be able to sit inside
the sculpture’s cockpit, thereby simulating the
artist’s supersonic flight. Similar to his other
drawings in motion, Markowsky is simulating
the experience of moving through space and,
in this case, sharing a situation that very few
people have the opportunity to experience.
For two months, the artist will occupy The
Cube and transform it into a working art
studio. He will use the space to build his
fighter plane sculpture. Members of the
public are invited and encouraged to visit
with him to learn about his artistic process.

March 28 to June 13, 2015
Opening Reception
Saturday, March 28, 6:30 to 8:00 pm

THE CUBE
Colin Lyons’ recent work fuses printmaking,
sculpture and chemical experiments, pushing
the role of the etching plate beyond its
traditional boundaries as a re-enactment of
the rise and fall of industrial economies. He
explores industry through the lens of fragility
and impermanence, considering planned
obsolescence and the nature of what we
choose to preserve. Lyons adapts etching
plates and uses acid to create batteries
that reclaim decaying industrial parts. Once
restored, the surfaces are coated with a
resist material. The artist then traces over the
restored surfaces, submerging them in a bath
of etching acid. The results create a contour
map that marks the traces of decay.
Colin Lyons grew up in “Canada’s original oil
boomtown” of Petrolia, Ontario, an experience
that has influenced his interests in industrial
ruins and sacrificial landscapes. His work has
been shown in solo exhibitions across Canada
and in group exhibitions internationally.
Recent exhibitions include Platform Stockholm
(Stockholm, Sweden), The Soap Factory
(Minneapolis, Minnesota), SPACES (Cleveland,
Ohio), OBORO (Montreal, Quebec), Judith
and Norman Alix Art Gallery (Sarnia,
Ontario), and Kala Art Institute (Berkeley,
California). He has been the recipient of
grants from the Canada Council for the Arts,
Conseil des arts et des lettres du Quebec,
Alberta Foundation for the Arts, Elizabeth
Greenshields Foundation and Social Sciences
and Humanities Research Council.

Recent Acquisitions
Well known for drawing inspiration from the
Canadian landscape, printmaker George
Raab’s work is grounded in the exploration
of Canada’s natural ecosystem and typically
conveys the scale and power of the quickly
vanishing natural environment.
The Kamloops Art Gallery is pleased
to announce the recent addition of 11
prints by George Raab to its permanent
collection. The works in this donation are
representative of Raab’s recent forays into
digital photo-based prints and illustrate his
mastery of blending traditional and
contemporary printmaking techniques
through the utilization of etching, aquatint
and watercolour to highlight the interactions
between colour and line, representation
and abstraction.
In these prints, Raab depicts the energy of
the woods and celebrates the significance of
the forest in our larger cultural imagination,
while also bringing into focus the deeper
cultural anxieties surrounding Canada and
the world’s deforestation.
Many of the prints in this donation were
featured in the touring exhibition Into
the Woods: Etchings by George Raab,
which was organized by the Art Gallery
of Peterborough and presented at the
Kamloops Art Gallery in the fall of 2013.
The KAG's ongoing efforts to build its
permanent collection is an important aspect
of its responsibility as a regional collecting art
institution, which preserves artwork for future
generations and allows for key holdings
of historical and contemporary artworks,
enriched curatorial research, exhibitions and
loans to other institutions.

Arbour Aboriginal Artists Collective
Dion Fortie: 9 months
January 17 to March 21, 2015
March 28 to June 13, 2015
Arbour Aboriginal Artists Collective provides
opportunities for youth and adults of all
nationalities to create art, learn new creative
methods and exhibit or perform in the
Kamloops area. By supporting work that
confronts and challenges stereotypes, hidden
histories and stolen voices, the Arbour
Collective seeks to inspire and empower
through creativity.
The winner of our inaugural Art Battle event
in 2014, Thompson Rivers University Visual
Arts student Dion Fortie presents 9 months,
an investigation into how landscape and
environment correspond to identity. Inspired
by solitary wanderings, a deconstruction
and re-assemblage of past memories from
living in Kamloops come together to form a
visual timeline of the last year. Through found
objects, sculpture and paintings, the works
themselves are representative of human
activity and performance within the landscape.
This exhibition draws together a selection
of the work created in the bi-weekly drop-in
workshops Arbour Collective has held in the
KAG’s Tricia Sellmer and Ken Lepin studios
since January 2014.

Redefining
RESEARCH
Passion: defining Quality of Life
in Small Cities. Practice: involving
undergraduates in his research.
What defines ‘quality of life’ in a small
city like Kamloops? By tackling this
question, Gilles and his students are
building a better knowledge base for
small cities to plan ahead. Why? Because
this is TRU. And you can do that here.
