Opening tomorrow night at SNAP and Saturday at dc3, here’s a preview of “Encoding Identities” from the University of Alberta Art and Design Graduate Student Association, by the Edmonton Journal’s Fish Griwkowsky. The shows are part of the ADGSA’s annual symposium—last year we hosted the exhibition component, Unstable Natures—and includes artists from the U of A and other schools.
Although it was included in yesterday’s Media Mondays, I would like to share (again) my most recent article for The Wanderer.
PrairieSeen’s Tori McNish’s latest article for The Wanderer is about local Art Historian and performative researcher Lianne McTavish.
The Alberta College Conservatory of Music let us know about an event tomorrow that combines performances by pianist Peter Krejcar with photography by Diana Duzbayeva, who’s been working with students and teachers at the Conservatory as subjects over the past few years.
You can see this inter-media project Saturday night—with the photography exhibition opening at 6:30 at Muttart Hall at Alberta College (10050 MacDonald Drive) and music by Bach, Chopin and Liszt from 7:30.
This week our friends at Mile Zero Dance are presenting a very anticipated new work by Gerry Morita with a host of collaborators. Find out more on the Facebook event.

Summer is almost upon us—and not only are we planning another year of our famous Summer Patio Series but we are planning a whole new patio to hold it on.
The Patio has become hugely important to us—not only as a fundraiser, but as one of the key ways that Latitude 53 fits into Edmonton’s downtown and artistic communities. The new patio will be at street level—accessible, and more connected than ever both to the gallery, where we’ll program local work right out of the studio once more during the summer for Incubator, but also to the streets of Edmonton. We need your help to make sure that it can continue to be so successful!
Please continue offering your support through Indiegogo. We hope that you are all as excited about the possibilities that our new space offers—and the summer that’s just about to start!

That means we need you! View the CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS
Submit a paper of up to 600 words, critically reacting to or exploring a topic associated with the creative milieu in Edmonton, for a compilation of writing which will compose a snapshot of this place at this time.
The submissions will constitute an anthology of original writing by the local contemporary creative community. It will be published by the Untitled Forum on the occasion of the UofA Student Design Association’s upcoming exhibition called “the co-lab”, exploring the processes of collaboration.
Some possibilities for paper topics include exhibition reviews, creative writing, critiques of Edmonton, defences of Edmonton, or personal anecdotes. What does it mean to be a maker in Edmonton? Take this opportunity to join the critical discourse on the ever-changing environment and the artist’s role here.
PLEASE SUBMIT FINAL DRAFT TO THEUNTITLEDFORUM@GMAIL.COM BY MARCH 22
