	JASON de HAAN NOWHERE BODILY IS EVERYWHERE GHOSTLY The work of Jason de Haan exists at the collision of precarity and unpredictability, approached with a sense of time wrapped in memory, mythology, fantasy and romance. His works seem as though they were rediscovered in some dusty attic or arcane museum collection - quiet gestures forgotten long ago – yet from a past that dreamed of a distant future still unrealized.

A stand-up piano was placed in a nondescript plot of land with a number of horses for 763 days. The project became dependent upon the animals’ curiosity to determine its course. The Piano remains as evidence. Courtesy of Clint Roenisch Gallery.
	KRISTAN HORTON ONE FOR YOURSELF One For Yourself brings together Horton’s newest body of work, a selection from his informally dubbed ‘Sligo Heads’ – portraits eponymously named after the city in Ireland where they were conceived.  In them, he approaches the photographic portrait as it collides with digital manipulation and painterly process. Features are blurred, streaked, disfigured and exaggerated as though the subject is no longer fixed within the singular photographic moment but rather surfaces continually over time. Read more FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 28 Kristan Horton will speak in Art Now at noon in the University of Lethbridge Recital Hall (W570).
