It’s free and open to all—find the full schedule at adgsa.wordpress.com.

Thanks for the weekend
We had a fantastic time this weekend at the Parka Patio, and we hope you did too. Thanks to everyone who came out and supported Latitude 53, and to those who donated or purchased artworks. You may have run into our team of three photographers at the party—we’ll have images and video from them soon right here on the blog so you can relive your favourite moments.
Thanks again for making it such a great time—we hope to see all of you again soon. This Friday we’ve got a new show opening by Korapin Chaotakoongite, and it will be joined in March by Unstable Natures, and of course we have lots more exciting programming to look forward to through 2012.
We know that you’ve already got lots to look forward to, with the Parka Patio coming up in only two weeks (yes really—better get those tickets), but we’re very pleased to be announcing all kinds of details about our next two shows today. Check out the details on Unstable Natures, up March 2 and Anusawaree (Monuments) by Korapin Chaotakoongite which opening on Feburary 24.
Call for Submissions: Unstable Natures
Together with the Art and Design Graduate Student Association at the University of Alberta, we’ll be hosting a show this March as part of their symposium on instability. Unstable Natures is now open for submissions:
The ADGSA is excited to host Unstable Natures at Latitude 53, one of Alberta’s leading contemporary art centres. We are currently seeking innovative new artworks by current and recent graduate students that explore:
The expression of moments of rupture as a catalyst for change through material instability
Volatility, contingency and chance
Conditions of political, cultural, economic or physical instability
Structural instability or material degradation
