The exhibition is entitled The Emerging Landscape and will be on from June 15th to July 27th. ( http://www.ucalgary.ca/~nickle/index.shtml) If anyone is in the area this should be an interesting show.

This exhibition is a selection of new work exploring notions of mysticism, portraiture, and the landscape.

This exhibition looks at the medium's ability to articulate ideas in a manner both refined and informal, with transparency and authenticity. info@ateliergallery.ca http://www.ateliergallery.ca


	Hello, We are two weeks away from celebrating our one year anniversary. We are excited to be having Jim Stoten arrive here next week, traveling all the way from the U.K to become our eleventh resident to Islands Fold. By next month we will have published fifteen titles, and put on four art shows. We feel that it has been a great year and we are very happy with all the support we have received. For those who don't know, we operate Islands Fold out of a rented home on Pender Island, B.C. Islands Fold is an artist residency that is offered free of charge. We collaborate, make art , and enjoy tasty nutritious meals. This home offers a large studio, guest room, and private setting that allows us to accommodate artists. We feel very fortunate to have come upon this house two years ago, when the vision first started to unfold. We are sending out this letter because we have just received news that has thrown us a curve ball. The owners of the house that we rent are putting it up for sale. In an ideal setting, we would love to be able to purchase this home, but that is not a reality for us. This letter is an effort to ask people to spread the word of our situation in hopes of financing this house for Islands Fold. We are looking for serious people, investors and/or organizations who recognize that this is a cause worth supporting. A cause that needs a venue to fuel the art community that is being created. We ask for your support in helping us get this information to the right people. Thank-you so much, and please feel free to post this info on websites and blogs. With the successful response this past year, the vision for Islands Fold is growing every day. We will continue to operate the residency and publish books wherever we may be. Luke & Ange

I just wanted to let everyone know that I have just made 3 small artist books and they will be on show end of June. I have attached a PDF with all the details, so if you are going to be around Granville Island, please stop in and take a peek. Acknowledgments: I also have been generously sponsored again by the Powell Street Festival Society.

Symposium: Challenging the Limits of Tolerance Saturday, May 26, 2007 14:00 - 17:00 UBC Robson Square theatre Free to the Public Held in conjunction with Limits of Tolerance: Re-framing the Multicultural State Policy, this symposium brings together artists and curators who will engage with the question of politicizing difference in a historically informed manner. The purpose of this symposium is to explore creative ways to go beyond the worn out discourses of an essentialist identity, and to shed light on the present state of the arts in Canada. With limits of tolerance drawn and re-drawn, the terms of tolerance need to be questioned. Who gets to tolerate whom? In what ways can artists, curators and cultural facilitators disrupt the status quo and make room for more than a handful artists dealing with issues of difference? In grappling with these questions, the symposium will attempt to deconstruct the perceived and real categories of the “margins” or the “tolerated.” For more information, please visit www.centrea.org T: 604.683.8326 info@centrea.org

He's about 11 weeks old now and is usually a really really good guy! Sometimes he can get a little too rambunctious but we're working on it. He's kinda a 24/7 job right now, but he's so totally worth it and I can't think of anything other than puppy right now anyway, so what the hell. Thought you guys should know!

The MONTE CLARK GALLERY is pleased to announce a solo exhibition by Scott McFarland. Works on Paper Scott McFarland March 17th － April 19th, 2007 Opening reception: Saturday 17th March 5:00 －-7:00 pm. Artist in attendance. � � Gallery Hours: ��Tuesday through Saturday, 10:00am to 6:00pm E-mail: ��info@monteclarkgallery.com Website: �www.monteclarkgallery.com
	Scott McFarland's latest exhibition Works on Paper brings together 7 new inkjet photographs from three different bodies of work for the first time. This selection taken from the series; Hampstead, Empire, and Berlin culminate from the artist's travels to the Huntington Gardens of Pasadena, California, various sites in and around Berlin, Germany as well as Hampstead Heath, London. Printed in the artist's own studio the colour images of Works on Paper depict subjects of varying degrees of separation and connection. A winter scene of the porcupine display at the Berlin Zoo is shown along side a desert garden plant collection providing for a subtle tactile relationship between plants and animal. Similarly in Ruinburg, the faux ruins of an 18th century European palace landscape feature find comparison with some decaying cacti discovered at the derelict periphery of the Huntington estate. McFarland's hybrid-like images reconsider the traditional conception of a photograph as the depiction of a single moment. Produced by combining multiple negatives with the assistance of digital technology, his photographs represent variations in the landscape as a series of moments in time compressed down to a single picture of that scene. The Admirals House and Ruinburg take this one step further by altering the image for each edition of the photograph making such images different or “unique” works. In 2007 Scott McFarland will be participating in exhibitions for both the Montreal Biennale and Contact Photo in Toronto as well the New Photography 2007 exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art, New York in September. His photographs are included in a number of international collections such as the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, the Art Gallery of Ontario, Toronto and the Albright － Knox museum in Buffalo, and have recently been published in the 2006 edition of Phaidon's Vitamin PH.

report: Taiga Tano
I show a performance in which I draw portraits of people according to my own images after gathering textual information about the characteristics of my chat partners' faces. When chatters are far away from each other, visual information is being transmitted through verbal communication. Different from conventional portraits drawn by sight, my work highlights subtle notions of communication, focusing on how the "models" are seeing themselves, how they respond to the artist's questions, and what kinds of drawings come out at the end. (from ICC Connecting World exhibition)


	ACTION VACUUM Saturday September 2, @ Blim, Vancouver BC Unwittingly late, we arrived between sets to a small and already-settled crowd, their attention fine-tuned for an evening of quiet electro-acoustic exploration.� Made up of Vancouver improv notables JP Carter, Lee Hutzulak, Rob Pedersen, Jeffery Allport + Jonah Fortune, Action Vacuum diligently worked to turn the potential of conventional musical instruments such as guitar, trumpet trombone, percussion and koto sideways, while fusing them with unlikely-yet-everyday objects such as tape recorders, rubber bands and butter knives. � Exploring the resonant properties embedded within the world of things, the faint rub of balloon on guitar, muted trumpet, trombone gently blown into a toy drum and bowed spatula between koto strings created a sense of heightened attention, so that every creak of wooden floor or shifting of weight in the room rendered the silences utterly enticing and the sounds more tactile than one would be presumably aware of.� As they worked, they created a space that opened up to allow for indeterminate and therefore sublime moments; In this case, a new baby in the audience collaborated, her coos & gurgles adding to the dynamic- the band seemed to play off of her at points, as if Ami Yoshida had sat in with the musicians. �Whether the band was consciously bearing the influence of the Japanese Onkyo scene or New London Silence on improv or not, it was pleasant to see this particular kind of reductionism at work, and equally as interesting to watch each member gingerly coax sounds out of common objects.�� Overall, it was a pleasant change of pace from the faux-primitive art-school skronk,� laptop glitch and clumsy harsh-noise one usually encounters in the world of sound art. Here, each musician seems to have enough experience under their collective belts to recognize that the same things can be said in lower- and upper-case.
