Future Station: 2015 Alberta Biennial of Contemporary Art
January 24 – May 3 2015
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:
