Future Station: 2015 Alberta Biennial of Contemporary Art

Future Station: 2015 Alberta Biennial of Contemporary Art

Uniting several themes of contemporary art practices in Alberta, including psychology, natural forces, detritus, and austerity, this exhibit is an expression on what it feels like to be an artist in Alberta.

Featuring several MFA graduates including Jay Mosher, Erik Osberg, Josee Ouellette and Scott Rogers.

Future Station: 2015 Alberta Biennial of Contemporary Art is an examination of the creative practices at work with Alberta artists and ultimately an expression on what it feels like to be an artist in Alberta. The title is derived from an abandoned transit platform located under the civic centre of the province’s capital, Edmonton. Future Station is in reality both a physical and allegorical place of transition and stasis: part urban mythology and part monument to the banality of dormant infrastructure. It serves as a metaphor for the status of contemporary visual culture in Alberta – it exists and functions as a potent vacancy awaiting due recognition. - See more at: http://www.youraga.ca/exhibit/futurestation#sthash.xx32KKNR.dpuf
