The viewer is invited to step into this installation as if it were their own space. Through this engagement, Immony Men aims to evoke a sense of nostalgia that the viewer can relate to.<br /><br /><br /></span></span></big></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; "><big><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">FRONT GALLERY<br /></span></span><i><big><big><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">Making War</span></span></b></big></big></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></span><big><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">Todd Tremeer</span></span></big></big></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; "><big><big><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></span></big></big></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; "><big><big><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">Tremeer’s work draws upon the traditional genre of history-painting and modern day war toys. In this exhibition he explores the construction and dissemination of historical narrative by creating a show with two major elements; wall based work that he refers to as his “History Paintings” and floor based sculpture consisting of green and khaki “assembled” cardboard troops, called Detachment.<br /><br /><br />Talks, openings and exhibitions are free to attend<br />Gallery Hours: M to F 10 – 5pm, Sat. 12 – 4pm. </span></span></big></big></span></div>Harcourt House Artist Run Centrehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10875814710156070112noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1517025584574630938.post-37058313133498296422011-07-18T09:50:00.000-07:002011-07-18T09:53:24.244-07:00Pick up artwork!Hello everyone,<div><br /></div><div>First off we'd quickly like to say thanks to all who submitted works to the membership show this year.

I will begin by reading excerpts from my blog (as I traveled across Canada via rail) and other excerpts from 'Trains of Recollection: Drawn from 50 Years of Railway Service ' by D.B Hanna. Please feel free to bring your own photographs and/or memorabilia from past travels, even if it is from your morning run to get milk!) My hope is this space will encourage people to tell their stories, and open up into a dialogue that calls attention to our daily movements; bringing the community together.<br /><br />The Story Exchange is concurrent with the photo-media exhibition<i>: Negotiating Spaces: Visual Recollections of Train travel in Canada</i> by Lindsey Bond, presented by Harcourt House. Bring your Grandpa or daughter or that friendly person at your bus stop. All ages welcome.<span><span style="font-size:85%;"> </span>I will also be setting up a blog for an on-line discussion after the event.

We turn another page in Harcourt history. We all want to express our sincerest thanks and good hopes for the future to Neil. He has been a joy to have around. We will truly hate to see him go. I hope he does pop in now and then to let us know what he's up to and maybe keep his hand in and teach a class or something. <div><br /></div><div>On the other hand it is time to welcome David Janzen. Last Thursday David mentioned that he felt he was following in some pretty big foot prints. I am sure he will be just as successful as Neil. David will make his own substantial marks in the Harcourt soil. </div><div><br /></div><div>Unfortunately the Visual Arts Alberta Association has seen fit to not collaborate with Harcourt House in the Annual Art Auction and Gala. Therefore, we are rethinking our annual fund raiser out of necessity. At the moment we are thinking it will be in the spring some time.

Of course tax receipts will be issued for all donations. Those who usually donate works of art can hold off for a little while. We have very limited storage space. We will be in touch with the usual people to let them know when the Harcourt fund raiser will take place.</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>In the meantime, everyone come out and see Neil's show as well as Duncan Johnson who's work also merits a close look. </div><div><br /></div><div>I hope everyone has a great autumn and I hope you will be able to visit here a little more often. </div><div><br /></div><div>Derek Brooks</div><div>Executive Director </div><div>Harcourt House Artists' Run Centre </div>Harcourt House Artist Run Centrehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10875814710156070112noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1517025584574630938.post-42144966076047245402010-09-09T14:21:00.001-07:002010-09-09T14:21:32.210-07:00Art Saves Lives <style>

<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><span lang="EN-GB"><b>Art Saves Lives!</b></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">Something that I personally feel very passionately about is the overall effect that art has on people. Whenever someone makes a comment that art is not important or frivolous or is “O.K. for those who have lots of spare time on their hands”, I begin to wonder why these people are so broken. Art, and I mean all of the arts, is not a spare time thing that is for the idle. Art is primal and goes to our very soul and defines who we are. Art makes us feel better and gives us purpose. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">The healing qualities of art have become recognized so that hospitals now include it as an important part of their programming. The University of Alberta believed it was so vital that there was a gallery incorporated in the design of the original building. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">Art has been found to be a very important factor in dealing with underprivileged youth. Since art can be what ever one wants it to be and there is no right or wrong it can be very useful in building self esteem in those who may not have had a very nurturing home life or a life where parents may have been absent for a good deal of the time. If you can teach a young person to gain attention by picking up a paintbrush or a guitar rather than a knife or a gun we all win. And, I know from personal experience that this is very possible. I have personally witnessed a child turn from a disruptive troublemaker to a budding Vincent Van Gogh in the time it takes to fingerprint someone. Often all they need is someone to tell them that their activities are worthwhile. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">How many potential gang members have become musicians or dancers or visual artists? You can see the talent in the streets. The rappers, and the hip hoppers are everywhere. They are doing what we all yearn to do. They are expressing themselves. They need to let out emotions that in many cases can be extreme. On the other hand how many never had the opportunity. How many fathers thought that their son would become a sissy if he took dance lessons? How many mothers worried that their child would never be able to feed itself if they went to art school rather than welding school or law school? How many kids with spray cans have we put in handcuffs rather than enrolled them in a legitimate art classes? </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">Self-expression can take forms that cause many people to cringe. When you live on the edge your art will tend to be edgy. Usually the only direction they need is to be shown the difference between edgy and destructive, or self-destructive. Often, but not always, the art that flows will become more socially acceptable, at least to the point where nobody gets hurt. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">Art has not only emotional healing qualities in the long run it can prevent serious physical harm. Anyone who tries to diminish the importance of art has no understanding of what it actually is. The future will be one where we recognize the real contributions that art makes and capitalize on them. </span></div>Harcourt House Artist Run Centrehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10875814710156070112noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1517025584574630938.post-84345453328344689922010-09-02T10:31:00.000-07:002010-09-03T14:37:54.417-07:00Bye-Bye to Summer<div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;">Actually, we're still trying to pull a few more weeks out of the summer-sunshine, but not the summer staff.

Now that it's all finished, we thought we'd share a few more photos with you. The fourth camp was aged 12-15. They did neat projects similar to the other three camps, but Geri mixed things up and made them a bit more challenging. Just a few of the cool things they did were; abstract colour theory paintings, blind contour drawings, and collages that they used as reference for their Surrealist drawings. All and all, it was a super-fun summer! Thanks to all the parents and kids who made it out. We hope to see all of you back next summer.</span></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYKiFTOqtbedZJ2Lsg9HbdN5nz-XwxykiN_dEOT4LeI66v6iqjiG9yRtq0BwCsSB3Z8up2n_kwlfQDR3QwSQVFmv3W8YWHn2imJrhlpiGRInhUadknXDKWrJPH4hUhHP3t26_Qi1ncPoA/s1600/abstract+colour+theory.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYKiFTOqtbedZJ2Lsg9HbdN5nz-XwxykiN_dEOT4LeI66v6iqjiG9yRtq0BwCsSB3Z8up2n_kwlfQDR3QwSQVFmv3W8YWHn2imJrhlpiGRInhUadknXDKWrJPH4hUhHP3t26_Qi1ncPoA/s200/abstract+colour+theory.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5509047091866674482" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFsAVCQVI4kTzHKM2khkB_dTVnStU5WsaBS_GCD1ipJ8DhFLiOS6JrnWAa_jYa-FiqsAkGuZ_YTMU0sROurPNwM2pb25-crXAe28Y7t9UhHBzI2CGt8n-4LzUjeUa_SWFaaK37evjuphQ/s1600/blind+contour,+alisa+2.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 158px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFsAVCQVI4kTzHKM2khkB_dTVnStU5WsaBS_GCD1ipJ8DhFLiOS6JrnWAa_jYa-FiqsAkGuZ_YTMU0sROurPNwM2pb25-crXAe28Y7t9UhHBzI2CGt8n-4LzUjeUa_SWFaaK37evjuphQ/s200/blind+contour,+alisa+2.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5509047085025112082" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjy7Z1WeGOKt4DDW-A2NBbAajtqnK9f7pP0Ec5BvbofTYU2djyGsHYs3PVVCgrfyTfJ3qb0Pj8XCCjuavxNU1vj8ZCYJ-Qym-Gix__54K2S_27jXbj5jHzHhQ9o51vES-55U_3mxEts1e4/s1600/Surrealism+collage:drawing.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 170px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjy7Z1WeGOKt4DDW-A2NBbAajtqnK9f7pP0Ec5BvbofTYU2djyGsHYs3PVVCgrfyTfJ3qb0Pj8XCCjuavxNU1vj8ZCYJ-Qym-Gix__54K2S_27jXbj5jHzHhQ9o51vES-55U_3mxEts1e4/s200/Surrealism+collage:drawing.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5509047080202411106" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWMX_c18quqo8zx7aU7TfxktzSEFjWI1lrmv-t6h7OMMYbKFGkbKan8oYzsaYF86io7WI_WylH58e9BjOCHWI-pTK8NraCGmrv97XrS8EDo3EtpAy75HJ1yyBndSYVoRGdhS3NDjtJKpo/s1600/Geri+and+the+girls.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 193px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWMX_c18quqo8zx7aU7TfxktzSEFjWI1lrmv-t6h7OMMYbKFGkbKan8oYzsaYF86io7WI_WylH58e9BjOCHWI-pTK8NraCGmrv97XrS8EDo3EtpAy75HJ1yyBndSYVoRGdhS3NDjtJKpo/s200/Geri+and+the+girls.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5509047070749862706" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgaguoE3ImKOqP5QvJbLyoWusmBMAFR5-J3j7PBKdCc3ST_CCvgt0X33Hd3k9YTPPcLB15W7sjAJYNzc7EpI-q5DLgWHkIb7kSTnJiWP4kfLIh5JwpFOeK887tKSm4ZgmKqZCEPLTRRKiI/s1600/geri+and+the+kids.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 132px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgaguoE3ImKOqP5QvJbLyoWusmBMAFR5-J3j7PBKdCc3ST_CCvgt0X33Hd3k9YTPPcLB15W7sjAJYNzc7EpI-q5DLgWHkIb7kSTnJiWP4kfLIh5JwpFOeK887tKSm4ZgmKqZCEPLTRRKiI/s200/geri+and+the+kids.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5509047067920527794" /></a>Harcourt House Artist Run Centrehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10875814710156070112noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1517025584574630938.post-44016582271190607132010-08-23T10:39:00.000-07:002010-08-24T11:09:26.512-07:00Derek's thoughts...<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;">It is hard to believe but we are beginning to run at our annual art auction again this year. As always we will be looking for art and artists who would like to help us out with donations of work to make this years auction a bigger success than ever. It is our big fund raiser of the year and we hope to make it especially splashy this year. This year due to some funding cut backs we will have to make a particularly big effort. </span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;">Of course there will also be a need for a small army of volunteers to keep things running smoothly, God bless them all. Of course we have until November to put all of this together but in my experience 3 months is not a terribly long time to plan these sorts of things. </span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;">Our current shows are very cool and you only have until August 28 to catch them!

The members show has come and gone. We made the gallery all nice and pretty, had DRAW and then set up Sylvia Ziemann and Paul Bernhardt's work.<br /><br />Draw was a great success. The gallery was full! We even had to bring out our wheelie computer chairs so people had somewhere to sit. It was really nice to see so many people who had never been to Harcourt House before.<br /><br />We also thought we'd post a few photos from the opening reception for Sylvia Ziemann's <span style="font-style: italic;">Home (In)Security </span>and Paul Bernhardt's <span style="font-style: italic;">Control.</span> They are both great shows with Bernardt's largescale paintings and Ziemann's video and sound based installations. So if you haven't had a chance to see them yet, hurry! You only have until the 28th of August. (Holy moly, the summer is really flying by.)</span><br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKq354IAqMiViHAzK_0SmaUrVJtkDuVWthe7lEKld0RWfc7qTLZsGyyKw0EPPQCmvosUmr_jIXTDndIJhK7Krjgf4E9W5jH2BF-4Ep6XSkT7KOC3pKowa89Yt6sqPeGupI5lpXqrRnngw/s1600/2.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 216px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKq354IAqMiViHAzK_0SmaUrVJtkDuVWthe7lEKld0RWfc7qTLZsGyyKw0EPPQCmvosUmr_jIXTDndIJhK7Krjgf4E9W5jH2BF-4Ep6XSkT7KOC3pKowa89Yt6sqPeGupI5lpXqrRnngw/s320/2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5503838735702931666" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4M9p504sWvq2U76puDsAS5UgppCnyPbZjOOyUnLUVzS4COvpF1amcWgGLED9wDwB2oMvESIfVssCnGZNTZ3eyl7raP1WuW6M0YSn2ZEIzI3IINwMVUrE2aYmE-6z2XQjYYMZMCkBCKMw/s1600/h.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 239px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4M9p504sWvq2U76puDsAS5UgppCnyPbZjOOyUnLUVzS4COvpF1amcWgGLED9wDwB2oMvESIfVssCnGZNTZ3eyl7raP1WuW6M0YSn2ZEIzI3IINwMVUrE2aYmE-6z2XQjYYMZMCkBCKMw/s320/h.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5503838726892798850" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinLWrgu8v61cSl5AZZw9lflr45aghnwHI1HpXtf2d9q3v8xOAWjHDmWrIvKqAUtaVDnkm0ugeMdeOYMXE-JL9trcVvE62gskBvTThscWCdBb0b8I2szWBMhRa6XeJp1A86eLxrgYr-W7A/s1600/e.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 234px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinLWrgu8v61cSl5AZZw9lflr45aghnwHI1HpXtf2d9q3v8xOAWjHDmWrIvKqAUtaVDnkm0ugeMdeOYMXE-JL9trcVvE62gskBvTThscWCdBb0b8I2szWBMhRa6XeJp1A86eLxrgYr-W7A/s320/e.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5503838722633846258" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;"><br /></span>Harcourt House Artist Run Centrehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10875814710156070112noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1517025584574630938.post-61600138485593408392010-07-22T10:45:00.000-07:002010-07-22T12:00:54.658-07:00Exquisite Corps pre-DRAW<span style="font-family:verdana;"><span style="font-style: italic;">This drawing was so funny, I had to make a little post for it.</span><br /></span><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9mV-MCWHUV-NRUzASX0u8E9FQp1TzExgbq6LopNGRoEOHvG76RYPuZTlBVzz2Tfnd3v4CcA-XWxuAKeAaXb403dn8KFMz-F3w-rAki45nAcxFv_NUTJPjgcEZfqQxhD4vsg7OlO3nGkM/s1600/me.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 212px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9mV-MCWHUV-NRUzASX0u8E9FQp1TzExgbq6LopNGRoEOHvG76RYPuZTlBVzz2Tfnd3v4CcA-XWxuAKeAaXb403dn8KFMz-F3w-rAki45nAcxFv_NUTJPjgcEZfqQxhD4vsg7OlO3nGkM/s320/me.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5496797160475697074" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">For those of you out there who either don't know of, or have never par</span><span style="font-family:verdana;">ticipated in an exquisite corps drawing session, let me explain a bit about it. First you find some cool people to draw with, then you take one sheet of paper and f</span><span style="font-family:verdana;">old it into three sections. You can pick a theme, a word, or a figure to work fro</span><span style="font-family:verdana;">m. The lovely ladies from the Visual Arts Association of Alberta (who we just so happen to share our third floor living space with) offered to help me get some examples ready for our big DRAW event this upcoming Saturday. They used me as their model, each with a section of their very own. Sharon had my bust, Jaye had my torso, and Brittany had my legs! Exquisite Corps works kind of like this...the first </span><span style="font-family:verdana;">person draws their section then folds it over so the next person can't see what the</span><span style="font-family:verdana;">y have just drawn. After each person has finished their section, they take a few lines and peak them over the fold so</span><span style="font-family:verdana;"> that the person who will be drawing after them</span><span style="font-family:verdana;">, has a starting point. Th</span><span style="font-family:verdana;">e second person repeats and does the </span><span style="font-family:verdana;">same. Then when the third person finish</span><span style="font-family:verdana;">es </span><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcUivoKfDgDZ767rKgFRL85vrvXRIpPi66lH5U4AiuPgvbVHtUXqIRARFJq1zuaGKNlVGFp8Fj3LjxaK1bOSJPxnn_XVklrSLrxclsTHbBmyGJ-tKqpW2GzTZZZ0bFnqoByBjaesk1p-U/s1600/exquisite+corps.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 220px; height: 309px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcUivoKfDgDZ767rKgFRL85vrvXRIpPi66lH5U4AiuPgvbVHtUXqIRARFJq1zuaGKNlVGFp8Fj3LjxaK1bOSJPxnn_XVklrSLrxclsTHbBmyGJ-tKqpW2GzTZZZ0bFnqoByBjaesk1p-U/s320/exquisite+corps.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5496796467404272866" border="0" /></a><span style="font-family:verdana;">their's, you open up all three folded sections and TADA</span><span style="font-family:verdana;">!
