Patrick Traer: don’t tell me your dreams
Mendel Art Gallery
This exhibition presents a new, poetic
installation of mixed media works by well-known Canadian artist Patrick
Traer. don’t tell me your dreams features themes around lost sleep,
solitude, and darkness. This is the first solo exhibition for Traer at the
Mendel Art Gallery since 1983. don’t tell me your dreams brings together ideas stemming from the artist’s
diagnosis with sleep apnea in 2004, along with images and sounds related
to what he calls a long-standing “anxious indifference” to listening to
other people recount their dreams. It follows his ongoing concern, since
the early 1990s, with the body’s fluidity, its incubation periods,
biological obsolescence, and mythologies about human anatomy. don’t tell
me your dreams is an exhibition in darkness, consisting of photographs,
audio, drawing, and embroidery.

Point/Counter-Point: Selections from the Permanent Collection
Mendel Art Gallery
This exhibition presents some of the most loved works in the Mendel Art
Gallery’s Permanent Collection paired with some that have never before
been shown. Mendel Chief Curator Dan Ring chose the works for the ways
that they inform each other stylistically, through content, context, or
shared emotion. The exhibition considers the ways that artists represent
people and places, and create ideal worlds or darker visions of nightmare
and doubt. Graeme
Patterson’s 2006 animated film Monkey and Deer is paired with Alex
Colville’s 1954 painting Visitors Are Invited to Register. Both works
share the notion of a way station on a long journey with an uncertain
ending. Two delicate fantastic porcelain figures by contemporary artist
Shary Boyle are juxtaposed with exquisite watercolour on ivory portraits
by pioneer artist Hilda J. Stewart, a portrait by Inglis Sheldon-Williams
painted in 1917, and Stairs, from Canadian artist Michael Snow’s 1960
Walking Woman series. Lawren Harris’ Untitled (mountains near Jasper), c.
1934–40, is matched with Ernest Lindner’s Peeling Birches, 1965, David
Alexander’s Vorticose Trees (Old Guard),1987 and Emily Carr’s Pine Forest,
c. 1930. |

Barn Playhouse
presents Schoolhouse
Barn Playhouse, 25km North of Saskatoon (Yard
opens @ 5:30pm)
Set in 1938, "Schoolhouse" is a delightfully funny and nostalgic play about the one room schoolhouses of the prairies. Melita Linton is 19 years old and has just finished her teacher's training. She has accepted a position at the SS #1 Jericho School where they have gone through six teachers already, and the year isn't even half over. Melita may not look much older than her students, but they soon realize she is not so easily dismissed. Melita's spirit and desire to teach cannot be daunted, even when the new boy arrives at school. Ewart is a foster child sent from the boys' training school and is twice her size. Everyone learns that grit, determination, a sense of humour and creativity are not determined by age or size! |
