Just a reminder: although we keep telling you about all of our fantastic upcoming events, like Splash! this friday or our calls for submissions, we have two great shows by Mathieu Valade and Lisa Rezansoff up in the gallery right now. They’re only here until Saturday, so if you haven’t seen them yet make sure to drop by.
Hello everyone,
Unfortunately, we have had to cancel Lisa Rezansoff’s artist talk that was scheduled for Thursday March 24 at 7 PM. The good news is that Lisa’s fantastic prints are still up in our ProjEX Room until April 2. So come on by!
Lisa Rezansoff is going to be in the gallery this Thursday for an artist talk. We recommend that you attend—and if you haven’t seen her show, New Prints, yet, you should probably drop what you’re doing right now and come on down.
Her talk takes place on the evening of Thursday March 24 at 7:00. Don’t miss it!
Upcoming artist talk by Lisa Rezansoff: March 24 at 7:00 PM.
Our friend Carolyn Jervis wrote about Mathieu Valade and Lisa Rezansoff’s new shows here at Latitude 53 for Vue Weekly. If you haven’t seen it yet, here’s part of her description of Cubic Units:
Startling art installation mischief, which is complementary to “Logotomy,” can be found in the show’s namesake piece. Innocuous-looking mirrored cubes cover one-third of the exhibition space, appearing to be quietly at home sitting on the grey floor and projecting reflected light onto grey walls and ceiling. Without warning, the diamond-shaped reflections abruptly disappear as the cubes reveal hockey puck-sized internal lights. The whole floor seems to vibrate and the cubes sound like a garburator chorus as they slowly migrate in no particular direction.

When I first noticed Lisa Rezansoff, it took about half a six-pack of Pils to realize I was at the table of a born artist.
Fish also wrote about Lisa Rezansoff’s show in more detail for GigCity.ca. They spoke about her work, her residency at SNAP and more. Go read it
If you love getting this kind of inside information, you should come to our upcoming artist talks. Mathieu Valade will be in the gallery this afternoon at 2, and Lisa Rezansoff will be giving one later this month on the 24th.

We thought we’d give you another teaser of Mathieu Valade’s Cubic Units under construction. The show opens tonight at 7:00 PM, along with Lisa Rezansoff’s New Prints.
If you love minimalism, mirrors, or robots and light and sound effects, make sure you come to Mathieu’s artist talk tomorrow at 2:00. He’s come all the way from Quebec, for the first time, and we think it’s going to be a good one.
See’s Alistair Henning is a busy guy: this week, he’s written a preview of Lisa Rezansoff’s New Prints which opens this friday in the ProjEx room:
Hot on the heels of a typically fabulous instalment of Latitude 53’s annual 53 Ways To Leave Your Lover Factory Party extravaganza, Edmonton based artist Lisa Rezansoff is bringing her latest explorations in drawing and printmaking to the gallery beginning March 4.
Rezansoff told Henning a little bit about the inspiration and experiments behind the show, including the formal experiments she’s working on during her SNAP scholarship and the memories which her imagery is based on.
In terms of content, Rezansoff explains that the images in the show draw on her memories of “a mountainous region of southern BC where I grew up called Grand Forks. This series is part of a larger, ongoing personal narrative that’s connected to memories of this place, but also the present moment. Things come together when I put pencil to paper and make a mark.”
The starting point for these prints, Rezansoff says, was her research into the Doukhobor history, which is her cultural background.

We just updated our website’s front page with this wonderful image by Lisa Rezansoff—here’s a better look at it. The best way to see it, as well as a whole selection of her work that we’re hanging in the ProjEx Room this week, is to come down and see her show New Prints which opens this Friday. So soon!
