02 Wine with Art Lecture Series from The New Gallery on Vimeo.
Shelley Ouellet talks about the role of artist-run centres, highlighting The New Gallery's role within Art Central. Event held on Friday, May 28th 2010.
Shelley Ouellet 's collective experience as an artist, arts administrator and educator has resulted in a professional practice which through its commitment to accessibility has resulted in the development of large scale sculpture, publicity and temporary installations. Her practice aspires to recognize the importance of collective activity in advocacy, community development and the arts. Her concerns relate to the relationship between citizens and their physical and social environments. The development and production phases of each work seek to create as social environment and economy infused with co-ownership.

VIDEO COMING SOON!
Shaking hands with Conceptual Art discussed Horse and Sparrow by contemporary conceptual artists Richard Ibghy and Marilou Lemmens at The New Gallery, Calgary. The talk surved the form and content of works in the gallery, suggesting answers to the question of how such an austere approach to form might be appreciated as a feat of artistic and intellectual skill. Sub-topics to include (in no particular order): discourse rules the languages of economics and narrative, the Otis Elevator approach to aesthetics, the absurd as moral compass, and conceptual art, then, and now.
Jane McQuitty obtained her BFA from Alberta College of Art and Design and MFA from University of Calgary. She teaches Art Appreciation III Modernism with Extended Studies at University of Calgary and is a board member of Untitled Art Society.
