Curatorial Statement
Strange and Known Places is a collaborative curatorial project featuring the work of 10 artists based in or with strong ties to Medicine Hat. The exhibition’s title reflects on the familiar geography that ties these artists together (Known Places) and the overarching use of personal mythology or an exploration of lesser-understood aspects of the human experience (Strange Places). The exhibition presents 30 works in a range of materials including textiles, photography, leather work, blown glass, painting, drawing and a music video. The included artworks envelop a wide range of enthusiasms, curiosities and passions, offering audiences a chance to see the world in surprising and affecting new frames. For the exhibition’s opening at TREX Space, works by each artist were reproduced as posters that were available for audiences to take home as a token of the exhibit and celebration of local talent.
