T<\/span>he Glenbow Museum is preparing to change a number of its exhibitions on Oct. 19th<\/sup> and Sarah Todd, one of the museum\u2019s art curators, has provided a preview of what\u2019s to come.<\/p>\n

The Glenbow<\/a> had several exhibitions on display such as Second Skin, Our Beloved by Ed Pien<\/a>, and Feat. by Nick Cave<\/a> which was the featured show, over the summer and early falll.<\/p>\n

A<\/span>ll of these are considered travelling exhibits departed the Glenbow Museum by Sept. 22.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Glenbow has a range of different exhibitions every season, so some of them are travelling shows,\u201d Todd said. \u201cTravelling shows, like the Nick Cave exhibit, are a limited time thing.\u201d<\/p>\n

Replacing the marquee Nick Cave exhibition is a show by Sybil Andrews, an English-Canadian artist who specializes in printmaking and linoleum.<\/p>\n

Todd said visitors can expect colourful, beautiful, retro, and graphic prints as the museum hosts the world\u2019s largest collection of Andrews’ artwork.<\/p>\n

\u201cSybil Andrews was active during the \u201830s and \u201840s,\u201d Todd said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe forget that being an artist during this time was not a normal occupation for a woman.\u201d<\/p>\n

Todd emphasized that Andrews exhibition will showcase work that pioneered printmaking.<\/p>\n

\u201cBeing an artist in the \u201830s meant you\u2019d be working with paint primarily,\u201d Todd said. \u201cShe was working with new technology.\u201d<\/p>\n

Alongside the Sybil Andrews exhibit there will also be an exhibition called Extraordinary Objects.<\/p>\n

Extraordinary Objects will be a contemporary collection replacing Our Beloved by Ed Pien.<\/p>\n

The exhibit will feature pieces from five different artists, created from normal, everyday materials.<\/p>\n

Calgary doesn\u2019t give itself enough credit as a community that cares about culture. – Sarah Todd<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u201cBy normal materials, we usually mean disposable materials,\u201d Todd said.<\/p>\n

\u201cTaking everyday objects and elevating them into the realm of fine art is the key theme of this new exhibit.\u201d<\/p>\n

Todd said that the Extraordinary Objects will have pieces created out of underwear, linoleum, and other material.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s just looking at the potential of the stuff that surrounds us,\u201d Todd said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s making the ordinary extraordinary through material intervention.\u201d<\/p>\n

To celebrate the Sybil Andrews collection, the Glenbow Museum has also decided to create a publication to coincide with the launch of the exhibition, something that isn\u2019t done often.<\/p>\n

\u201cMaking books is hard and time consuming,\u201d Todd said.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut for very special exhibitions, like the Sybil Andrews exhibition, when we feel we can add something to the discourse around that art, we will make a publication.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Glenbow will hold a launch party<\/a> on Oct. 19th<\/sup> for the new exhibitions which is also open to the public.<\/p>\n

Admission to the launch party will be by donation.<\/p>\n

Todd said that new visitors to the Glenbow should consider coming on the first Thursday of each month when admission is free.<\/p>\n

\u201cCalgary doesn\u2019t give itself enough credit as a community that cares about culture,\u201d Todd said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe need art and culture to be the world class city that Calgary aspires to be.\u201d<\/p>\n
