	MARK NEUFELD: PERFORMANCE WITH TWO SCULPTURES JUNE 27 TO SEPTEMBER 8 Opening Reception: Thursday, June 27 at 5 PM Reception Sponsored by YPM In Performance with Two Sculptures, Mark Neufeld looks through the lens of what could be termed western vernacular to forge eccentric connections between painting, performance and sculpture. Neufeld presents a number of objects for consideration: a series of small oil on canvas paintings, collage-assemblages and a scripted performance for local actors employing as props two bronze sculptures by the well known “cowboy artist” Frederic Remington.

	MITCH ROBERTSON: AS THE STORY GOES JUNE 27 TO SEPTEMBER 8 Opening Reception: Thursday, June 27 at 5 PM Reception Sponsored by YPM This exhibition considers the dubious relationship between memory and history in North American popular culture in the last one hundred years. Using aspects of the Old West, purchased nostalgia, superstition and a questionable personal memory, three projects of varied mediums follow the journey from experience to memento to reminiscence and the evolving romance that occurs with time.

	GUSHUL STUDIO TOUR For the month of June Toronto-based artist Mitch Robertson is participating in SAAG's Intersection Residency program at the Gushul Studio in the Crowsnest Pass. Robertson is a conceptually based artist using photography, sculpture, the Internet, installations and drawing to create work that considers the intertwined paths of religion and superstition with globalization and consumerism. His intentions while at the Gushul Studio are to do photo shoots at Frank Slide and around the Lost Lemon Mine area while roughing out plans for his next show. He has ideas for large drawings and video and looks forward to working on these works while at the studio. Gushul Studio Tour: Sunday, June 23 SAAG is organizing a tour to the Gushul Studio to visit Mitch Robertson, hear about his ongoing practice, and learn about his experiences exploring Frank Slide and the Lost Lemon Mine area. This tour is free and open to everyone! To register call 403-327-8770 ext. 21.
