Mackenzy Albright and Rachelle Liette Bowen took a break from working on their installation in the gallery to talk to us about their work and what it’s like to be an emerging artist in Edmonton.
See their installation at our new winter fundraiser, the Parka Patio, on February 18. Get your tickets at www.latitude53.org/parka.
Our Parka Patio installation artists have been busy the last few days getting ready, and Rob Harpin and our volunteers have been hanging the auction work too. It’s so close!
We’re just putting the finishing touches on our video with Rachelle Liette Bowen and Mackenzy Albright, who’ve been working on this piece—look for it here on the blog tomorrow morning. Meanwhile, Jes McCoy’s tunnel also looks pretty sweet—but you’ll have to wait and come journey through it on Saturday. No peeking!
Wondering just what Mackenzy Albright and Rachelle Liette Bowen are going to be building for the Parka Patio? Here’s a little teaser—recently sighted in their studios, a lamp and a massive block of pink foam.
Look for video here on the blog next week during their installation process.
On Saturday, Easy Street curated by Megan Rose Mehler goes up for just one day at the old Duchess Bakery location at 10720 124 St. Check out previews from Carolyn Jervis at Vue and Ana Maria de la Fuente at Avenue.
The show is the second part of a collaboration between Edmonton– and Victoria-based artists and curators, with a mixture of BC and Alberta artists—and the list includes lots of friends of Latitude 53, including local artists Mehler, Leanne Olson, Josh Holinaty, Smokey, Terrena Boss, as well as Emilio Rojas who last was in Edmonton for Visualeyez 2011. Of particular note for us this week, though, is a collaboration by Rachelle Liette Bowen and Mackenzy Albright who will be here in the gallery next week building a winter environment for the Parka Patio.
Join the Facebook event or just drop by—the show is open from noon, with a $5 cover from six o’clock for the party portion of the event.
