what we leave, what we take

Final exhibition marking the Art Gallery of Alberta’s 100th anniversary

Fourteen Alberta artists consider collective and individual futures while reflecting on two interrelated questions: What can we hold onto? And What will we leave behind? This exhibition considers what we need, what we don’t, what is possible to maintain and the marks and legacies we leave.

This exhibition was created through an open call. Nearly 200 artists submitted their work for consideration. A jury of Alberta based arts professionals comprised of Mohsen Ahi Andy, Su Ying Strang (BFA '10, Painting) and Hannah Quimper-Swiderski created a long-list of 30 artists from which this exhibition was curated. Erin Boake (BFA '03, Painting) is among the chosen artists. 

Organized by the Art Gallery of Alberta and curated by Lindsey Sharman.
