"Dances With Wolves: Vampiric Nature of Art-making and Personal Transformation"
2009-08-28 until 2009-09-26
The New Gallery
Calgary, AB, CA Canada

While photography has frequently been refered to as “writing with light” artist Ted Hiebert is interested in the mediums much less commonly articulated debt to darkness. His new installation Unbecomings, on view at The New Gallery in Eau Claire Market from August 28 though September 26, 2009, is a series of large format images which seek to mobilize the codes of photographic representation for their psychological and delusional possibilities. If photography has been mythologized as a technology which can steal souls, Hiebert’s work questions whether it may also perhaps possess the power to return them.

Canadian artist/theorist Ted Hiebert’s work has been shown in public galleries and artist-run centres across Canada, and in group exhibitions internationally. He holds an MFA from the University of Calgary and a PhD from Concordia. His theoretical writing has appeared in The Psychoanalytic Review, Technoetic Arts, Performance Research and CTheory, as well as in numerous catalogues and exhibition monographs. He is currently living in Seattle, Washington.

The New Gallery is pleased to host a public reception for the exhibition Unbecomings at 7 PM on Friday, September 11, 2009. The artist will be in attendance.

The New Gallery (TNG) is an artist-run centre committed to providing a forum for a broad spectrum of multidisciplinary practices and critical discourse within the contemporary arts. Since 1975 TNG has presented the work of over one thousand local, national and international artists, and remains an active, open and responsive public forum for the arts.

The New Gallery is supported by its members, Calgary Arts Development, the Alberta Foundation for the Arts and the Canada Council for the Arts.
