Kylee Turunen
January 27–February 23 at Gallery at Mattick’s Farm
Kylee is a Canadian artist, currently living in Port Alberni, BC. Growing up with the constant exposure to her artist father, she picked up an appreciation and excitement for creating art. Since completing the Fine Art program at Toronto’s Centennial College in 2009, she has continued to develop her skills as a fine artist, working primarily in acrylic and oil paint. She works with colour and form, often playing with opposites like curves and straight edges, or light and dark tones to create contrast. 109-5325 Cordova Bay Rd, 250-658-8333, www.thegalleryatmatticksfarm.com.

Peter Dorrius at Xchanges Gallery
“Indexing”
Opening Friday 7th Feb from 7-9pm Artist Talk: Saturday 15th Feb at 2pm
Presented with predominantly black and white photography and abstract imagery, viewers are asked to wonder and interpret. Photography is based in the real world: everything within the image is palpable. Selfies, landscapes, portraits, etc. are all tangible representations of people and objects that can be seen and touched on a daily basis.
When viewing photographs observers immediately wonder: “What is it?” Once a conclusion is made viewers investigate the piece for meaning and enjoyment. But what happens when information is missing in the photograph and the image cannot be indexed by the viewer? Perhaps there is a period of letting go of the expectation to label in a literal sense and instead find meaning based on the abstract image alone. Artist's Bio Peter Dorrius is an actor, writer, photographer, and accountant. He has appeared in TV shows including Fargo and Young Drunk Punk, written and produced a play (Contentment Cafe) and is an accountant with 20 years experience. His first foray into photography was Minimal Contact. He holds a Bachelor of Science, is a member of the Chartered Professional Accountants of Alberta, and is currently in his second year at UVic majoring in Creative Writing and minoring in Visual Arts.
Exhibition continues through Feb 23rd

This event began 2020-02-22 and repeats every week on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday until 2020-03-28
From February 21 to March 28, Vancouver-based artist-educator Chantal Gibson returns to Open Space with A Grammar of Loss: Studies in Erasure, a show of new and recent work building on her 2019 exhibition, How She Read: Confronting the Romance of Empire. Turning towards contested objects to edit, redact, and transform them, the exhibition explores the dis/comfort of engaging in this de/colonial moment, offering a visually poetic response to the question “What does it mean to decolonize a text? And what does it really mean to confront Empire?” The artist will participate in a community residency March 20-27. There will be an opening reception for the work Friday, Feb 21, 7-9pm.
