SILVER

The NEW Gallery (TNG) and Illingworth Kerr Gallery (1KG) will be presenting the exhibition SILVER from March 9 - April 1, 2000. The exhibition will feature more than 40 artists from The NEW Gallery's 25-year visual art history.  

The NEW Gallery has been instrumental in providing numerous important Calgary artists with their first exhibition opportunity. Many of the artists involved in TNG's history have become major players in the global art community, and have moved on to use the skills and knowledge gained at TNG in their practice elsewhere. This joint exhibition at The NEW Gallery and Illingworth will celebrate the achievements of local, national, and international artists who are an integral part of Calgary's art history. John Chalke, Chris Cran, Mark Dicey, Alan Dunning, Christian Eckart, Wayne Giles, Amy Gogarty, John Hall, Joice Hall, Arthur Nishimura, Evan Penny, Helen Sebelius, Wendy Toogood, Laura Vickerson, ManWoman and John Will are just some of the artists that will be showcased in this joint exhibition. There will also be an international component to the exhibition with works on display by: Christian Eckart and Tim Watkins, who are now working out of New York City, will be part of SILVER along with Jurgen O. Olbrich, from Kassel, Germany and Cat Schick and m. vánçi stirnemann both from Zürich, Switzerland.
