 Friday
Face to Face proposes a contrapuntal dialogue between two players: an artist and a scholar. Each will present his/her current art making or research concerns followed by an open-ended discussion that attempts to uncover correspondences hitherto unknown, bringing to the fore overlapping areas and converging ideas.
This February 4th we welcome artist Claire Savoie and Theorist
Marie-Josée Jean.
La présentation sera en français.
Remerciement au Conseil des Arts du Canada pour son appui a ce projet.
Thanks and acknowledgements to the Canada Council for the Arts for their support.

flâneur at uOttawa Gallery115
Friday, February 4, 2011
6:30PM-9:30PM
flâ-neur (noun): A dilettante observer of modern urban life. A voyeuristic stroller who discovers the city as a landscape of voluptuous extremes. Adept of the joys of watching, connoisseur of empathy, the flâneur finds the world 'picturesque'.
In the present societal condition that imposes increasing use of and co-existence with technological developments, we experience the possibility of capturing any given moment with devices such as the cell phone and digital camera. Never before have we been able to document our experiences of the every day with such an amount of ease. The availability of such technology has perhaps created a desensitization to the wondrous ability millions of people have to eternalize experiences via photography.
The advent of photography instigated a continual negotiation with fine art practice. Many would claim that this struggle is concluded, that any musee des beaux arts or gallery would be deficient without a representation of photography, and thus one sees a victory for the medium. However, the swift development of commercial devices for the masses such as camera-phones and point-and-shoot cameras forces the re-evaluation of photography's place within fine art, a questioning of the validity of art employing such media, and a recommencement of the justification of photographic art utilizing such strategies. Just as Baudelaire championed the flâneur of the 1860's, so too do we seek to celebrate the camera-phone and its potential to record the manifold ephemeral moments of our collective experience and existence.

Exposure Gallery presents Aerial Abstractions: Louis Helbig (pictured: snowmobile tracks)
Artist Statement:
Although aerial perspectives afford great sweeping views, they also afford the opposite. Removing context provokes wonder, thought and reflection.
Communication is more about what one takes out than what one leaves in. Removing the horizon, tipping the camera down, accelerates parsing and simplifying. The moving, fluid environment keeps the aircraft aloft and the senses alive; ones imagination open and intuition unfettered.
I usually fly and photograph by myself in a 1946 Luscombe, a machine that is itself a study of design, function and simplicity.
Exhibition runs from January 20-March 15
Exposure Gallery | 1255 Wellington Street West

SAMSARA Sculptural Woodturning by Garry Bowes
This is a tribute to our beautiful trees. In this exhibition, a living material is reborn with a new life as wood sculpture. The memories trapped deep in the wood tell a story of the tree's life and the events it has silently witnessed. A second story in sculptural form is told by the artist. When the two tales support and augment each other a bond forms between the artist and the tree, and the tree lives once again.
The show runs from Jan. 13 to Feb. 15 in the Salon A of the Trinity Gallery and anyone interested in this art form is invited to join Garry on Sunday, the 16th from 1 to 3 pm, for the vernissage.
This is a growing art form and a number of woods and sculptural techniques are displayed. Garry's work can also be viewed at www.woodsculpture.ca. Please call 613 733-0540 for information.
