As more and more people move around the globe, the issue of im/migration is more important than ever at the local, national and geopolitical levels. In spite of people’s increased mobility, many countries are becoming less willing to welcome new im/migrants. Canada remains an exception, a shining example of openness, diversity and democratic pluralism. Even so, everyone who im/migrates to or within Canada has unsettling experiences as he or she settles into a new city, town or landscape, and encounters new people and cultures. What one expects to find and what one actually finds are often quite different.
Migrating Landscapes Exhibition December 8 - 17, 2011 | Room 371 | Alberta College of Art + Design
Opening Reception Wednesday December 7, 2011 | 6:00 - 9:00 PM Opening Remarks in the Main Mall at 7:00pm Presented by the Illingworth Kerr Gallery
Migrating Landscapes was selected by a national juried competition as Canada’s official entry at the 2012 Venice Biennale in Architecture. It is organized and curated by Winnipeg-based 5468796 Architecture and Jae-Sung Chon (University of Manitoba Faculty of Architecture), who joined together for this project to form a new entity: the Migrating Landscapes Organizer (MLO). MLO has invited, through a national competition, young Canadian architects and designers to create videos and design ‘dwellings’ based on their cultural memories. The resulting exhibition is an enactment of ‘settling-unsettling’, with the videos and dwellings discussing various forms of migrated memories as they are ‘settled-unsettled’ into a modular, wooden ‘new landscape’.
The work will be exhibited in Regional Exhibitions in seven cities across Canada including Vancouver, Calgary, Saskatoon, Winnipeg, Toronto, Montreal, and Halifax. Local juries will select winners of each Regional Exhibition, who will advance to the National Final Exhibition in Winnipeg in spring 2012. National winners, together with MLO, will represent Canada in Venice as a young, architectural “Team Canada”.
The exhibition at the Alberta College of Art + Design is the second in a series of Regional Exhibitions, and will include entries selected from Alberta to compete for showing at the National Exhibition, and potentially at the 2012 Venice Biennale in Architecture. During the opening reception of the ACAD exhibition a representative from Migrating Landscapes will discuss the competition, the Venice project, and how things are progressing.

Please join the Alberta College of Art + Design as we celebrate Alberta Arts Days with a special extended exhibition in our Illingworth Kerr Gallery.
Alberta Arts Days at ACAD Iran do Espírito Santo | Wall Drawings Illingworth Kerr Gallery September 30 – October 2, 2011
Iran do Espírito Santo produces some of the most significant site-specific installations in the world, exploring the space between the concrete and the abstract. Santo’s approach to large-scale drawings is idiosyncratic, a sleek blend of Minimalism, Pop and Surrealism. His objects are bound by a refinedsimulacra of common, style-conscious geometric objects whose forms have been altered or abstracted to varying degrees, skewing expectations of their representation and experience.
Santo has appeared in numerous international solo and group exhibitions including PlugIn ICA, Winnipeg, Randolph Street Gallery, Chicago, the Museum of Modern Art São Paolo, the 2000 Istanbul Biennial, the 2003 Venice Biennale, The Power Plant, Toronto, and San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. He was featured in a mid-career survey at Rome’s Museum of Contemporary Art (MAXXII) in February 2006 and created an installation at the Musée des beaux-arts de Montréal for the Biennale de Montreal in 2007.
Now in its fourth year, Alberta Arts Days is a celebration of culture, heritage, artistic diversity and provincial pride.

We always have this tournament in September for one reason – it is the portion of the golf season that our students are back on campus in full force.
Our students are always a very large part of our Golf Classic and patron feedback over the years consistently tells us that you love that about our tournament. Our student ambassadors allow our industry, government, community, supplier and alumni friends to get the students’ first hand take on where Olds College fits in their life plans, and it provides all of our tournament supporters a very direct reminder as to why you are supporting the College.
The friendly hospitality provided by our staff and student hosts, and the opportunity to socialize and network with colleagues and friends that share a commitment to the enduring success of Olds College!
