Event Description:
TRUCK Contemporary Art presents:
 

Transcending Here

SHOWCASING WORK BY
 
Miruna Dragan (Calgary, AB) & The Noxious Sector (Victoria, BC)

The artists in Transcending Here offer alternative interpretations of what it means to be in the world. 

Miruna Dragan’s The Fertile Void, is an on-going series of actions on golf courses – a context rich with numerous political and environmental implications – upon which the artist’s work poetically responds. Dragan will bring her two most recent installments in the series,The Fertile Void V: The Cloud of Unknowing and The Fertile Void VI: The Cloud of Forgetting inside the gallery this summer, which is based upon the anonymous 14th century Christian mystical text called The Cloud of Unknowing that proposes one should spiritually reside on a plane between two strata: “the cloud of unknowing” above, forever obscuring an understanding of God, and “the cloud of forgetting” below, elevating believers above the finite and terrestrial.

Noxious Sector brings their “formalized forum for informal inquiry” to Calgary, with Magnetically Inclined. This project is an exploration of the relationship between cognition and high-powered rare-earth magnets, based upon the neuropsychologist Dr. Michael Persinger’s apparatus, the “god helmet”. Taking artistic liberties with both his method and context, Magnetically Inclined seeks imaginative social application of magnetic stimulation for creative, humorous, and speculative inquiry.

Opening reception: Friday, July 9 @ 8:00 PM in the Main Space

Artist will be in attendance and the reception and show will be open to the public. Attendance is free.
 

Hours: 11:00 AM - 5:00 PM Tuesday to Friday & 12:00 PM - 5:00 PM on Saturday
