FreshFaces

Newzones is thrilled to present the fourth edition of the invitational exhibition, FreshFaces. Join us on May 2nd for Bubbles, Bites, and Art as we celebrate the opening of FreshFaces with artists Will Gill and Takashi Hilferink in attendance.

FreshFaces is a curated exhibit which brings together select Canadian artists for a one-time group showing, continuing Newzones’ commitment to introducing significant contemporary art practices to its audiences. Through distinct material languages and conceptual frameworks, the artists in this exhibition expand conversations about home, shelter, land, memory, care and perception – offering a survey of art practices that are both intimate and expansive.

FreshFaces will demonstrate how, for these artists, place is a lived experience – it’s psychological, historical, familial, and embodied. Domestic structures shimmer in stark environments. Cultural identities and narratives are explored through Indigenous artistic processes. Landscapes repeat and fragment, challenging our perceptions. Moments and places are converted to a language of colour and texture. Concepts of house and home are dissected. The connections and perceptions of place result in a stimulating and fresh view of “New to Newzones” and “New to Calgary” talent.

In our fourth iteration, Newzones is thrilled to introduce artists Shawn Evans, Will Gill, Takashi Hilferink, Karine Léger, and Michelle Sound.
