SUMMARY:Erdem Taşdelen Wounded in Three Acts
DESCRIPTION:Erdem Taşdelen\nWounded in Three Acts\nMarch 27—August 16\, 2026\nSetting up the stage with melodramatic flair\, Wounded in Three Acts marks a new chapter in Erdem Taşdelen’s artistic practice\, and his first return to Calgary since his 2019 exhibition at The Bows. Dramaturgic and narrative strategies ground Taşdelen’s work within the history of humanity’s examination of its own nature and the pursuit of catharsis through shared enactment. Using diverse media to articulate captivating fictions that never stray far from truth\, his projects graze veracity with a shrewdness that urges our attention toward contemporary sociopolitical realities. \nWounded in Three Acts weaves together elements of four recent bodies of work\, presenting an audio installation\, a film\, graphic prints\, and a live performance. Taşdelen’s artistic approach borrows from the languages of theatre\, contemporary fiction and collective action to engage with notions of power\, solidarity and resistance\, as well as human behaviour\, aspirations and limitations. Unmade Films (2022) is a series of posters for imaginary motion pictures never made. Under the guise of visual mimicry\, the series investigates cinematic tropes and invites viewers to imagine their own versions of the stories these films may tell. \nAn exercise in dramaturgy and dystopian reflection\, Taşdelen’s audio installation The Characters (2018-2021) – partly recorded in Calgary in collaboration with EMMEDIA –follows the self-indulgent and mordantly humorous narratives of a set of stock characters. With their defining traits taken from a text by ancient Greek philosopher and naturalist Theophrastus\, these fictional personas are recognizable archetypes. At Contemporary Calgary\, Taşdelen presents a condensed version of the project featuring ten idiosyncratic monologues\, portraying the less palatable aspects of humankind and generating a strangely familiar\, attention-grabbing clamour that holds an unflattering mirror to our contemporary society. \nFrictions (2024) is a moving image work that comprises twelve first-person narratives\, each reflecting on the psychological toll of living alongside strangers in an era marked by polarization\, technologically-mediated hostility\, and uncertainty about the future. Inspired by the artist’s own dreams involving social discomfort and anxiety\, the film’s narratives unfold against the backdrop of hazy\, dreamlike visual sequences\, punctuated with interludes of ambient soundscapes that reinforce a sense of unease. These small yet charged moments of friction expose deeper societal ruptures: the erosion of empathy\, the projection of personal insecurity onto others\, and the difficulty of meaningful social connection in a world saturated by suspicion and self-preservation. \nPunctuating the exhibition run at varying intervals\, A Long Dramatic Pause (2025-26) is Taşdelen’s first live performance work\, which premiered at Studio Voltaire in London\, UK this past fall. The narrative employs the lexicon of photography and theatre to explore strategies of resistance against ultranationalism and far-right politics. Twelve theatrical vignettes describe a photographic image never shown but brought to life through re-enactment and visual analysis by a solo performer. As the performer alternates between observing and embodying an antifascist figure in the photograph\, the narrative gradually implicates the audience\, shifting their focus towards their own agency and collective presence. For this iteration\, Taşdelen collaborated with performer Cindy Ansah to develop a unique\, site-specific version of A Long Dramatic Pause\, guided by a written script and a set of corresponding graphic scores that also feature in Taşdelen’s exhibition. \nCollectively\, the works in Wounded in Three Acts examine the ways in which we negotiate living alongside strangers whose histories\, beliefs and worldviews may be vastly different from our own. Examining culturally learned behaviours and drawing from unique historical accounts\, Taşdelen approaches these questions across different formats\, looking at narrative itself as a constructive device through which we make sense of our experiences and feelings\, both for ourselves and for others. His works do not attempt to instruct or persuade; instead\, they build situations in which we all must reckon with our positions and forms of complicity or solidarity. \nWounded in Three Acts is generously supported through the Ontario Arts Council Exhibition Assistance Program. \nCurated by Mona Filip.

SUMMARY:Richard Ibghy & Marilou Lemmens Stacking Crates to Reach a Banana
DESCRIPTION:Richard Ibghy & Marilou Lemmens\nStacking Crates to Reach a Banana\nMarch 27—August 16\, 2026\nHow are our bodies measured and valued?\nHow do we perform within systems that observe\, record\, and assign meaning to behaviour? \nStacking Crates to Reach a Banana by Quebec-based artist duo Richard Ibghy and Marilou Lemmens brings together works that examine the body—human and nonhuman—as a site of measurement\, performance\, and value. Their practice draws on the visual language of modern science—diagrams\, charts\, graphs\, and schematics that translate lived experience and bodily labour into data\, units\, and archetypes. Across the exhibition\, embodied movements are rendered into abstract models within systems that quantify and compare behaviour\, even as the artists’ reworking of these forms unsettles claims of human exceptionalism. \n The two-channel video piece Taming Chance (2012) sets the tone for the exhibition\, combining a sense of playfulness with serious inquiry. The artist-performers attempt to bring order out of chaos while they deliberately court risk through the manipulation of raw materials. The thirty architectural recreations that feature in the series Anthology of Performance Pieces for Animals (2018- present)\, cast animals as active performers within the framework of laboratory-based cognitive experiments done to study them. In another room is the series\, Each Number Equals One Inhalation and One Exhalation (2016–present)\, that includes graphical representations of diagrammatic studies that illustrate human productivity and labour\, drawn from disciplines ranging from work science\, scientific management\, economics and psychology. Punctuating these small\, abstract sculptures are five videos from Is there anything left to be done at all? (2014)\, subtly evoking the presence of a tangible body\, but through explorations of non-productive action. Staged during a residency at Trinity Square Video in Toronto that is dedicated to art production\, Ibghy and Lemmens invited four artists to workshop the generative potential of improvisations and creative outflow\, probing what forms of action or desire remain once goal\, effort\, and reward are uncoupled. Brought together in direct dialogue for the first time\, the sculptures and videos form a pictorial architecture in themselves\, paralleling the models they reference. In so doing\, the artists intentionally orchestrate the viewing experience to disrupt how meaning is derived from patterns. \nFurther\, by working with models of non-productivity and by granting material and animal bodies agency on the same plane as human bodies\, the duo reveals the limits and flaws of these systems. The handmade sculptures\, built from simple materials such as bamboo sticks and acetate sheets\, emphasize the provisional nature of all regimes of epistemological control. \nIn making visible how instruction operates as a pattern that scripts action\, the exhibition traces the ethical stakes of such systems: the hierarchies they embed\, the behaviours they normalize\, and the ways bodies are instrumentalized as resources to be optimized. Together\, the works offer a critical and timely reflection on processes of reduction\, interrogating how systems of knowledge abstract bodies into data\, variables\, and units of labour\, while opening a space to consider bodies as irreducible to the metrics used to measure and manage them. \nCurated by Kanika Anand.

SUMMARY:National Music Centre Launches PlayLab: a Free Hands-On Music Playground
DESCRIPTION:Interactive community space to transform visitors from observers into active music-makers on May 6th \nThe National Music Centre (NMC) is unveiling PlayLab\, a new interactive environment designed to turn visitors from observers into active music-makers. Opening May 6 on the main floor of Studio Bell\, the space is free and accessible to all. \nPlayLab is a space to explore\, experiment\, and make music together. This interactive exhibit and welcoming community hub offers something for everyone\, with connections to Grade 2 curriculum. It invites children\, families\, and multigenerational audiences to jump in and discover sound in their own way. \nThe experience unfolds across three connected zones. The first section features Strings\, Percussion\, Wind and Electronicinstruments\, allowing visitors to explore different instrument types and make connections to how vibration\, timbre\, and pitch are created through hands-on interaction. The Learn to Play area offers visitors a chance to pick up a ukulele and try it out for themselves\, with the voice of local musician and educator Jason Valleau guiding their beginner or advanced-level journey. Over at the Sound Stage\, everyone can become conductors of their own musical composition. By placing a hand over a tube\, visitors can activate or layer an instrument into an evolving musical score. As multiple participants engage simultaneously\, the composition grows in complexity. Table-top instruments will provide experiences for our youngest visitors\, encouraging them to rattle and bang and make sound at their own level. \n“PlayLab was created in response to visitor demand for more musical experiences for young families – we listened and delivered\,” said Jesse Moffatt\, Senior Director of Collections and Exhibitions at the National Music Centre. “We’ve always wanted visitors to leave feeling like they can make music no matter their ability. PlayLab is about giving people permission to play\, and discover music in a fun\, accessible\, hands-on way. We’ve also made PlayLab part of our free main floor experience\, where anyone can drop in and get a taste of what National Music Centre is all about at no charge.” \nBeyond its role as an immersive exhibit\, PlayLab will serve as a flexible\, year-round community hub for a wide range of daytime programs and activities\, from workshops and instrument-building sessions to artist talks and informal music play days. Starting in the summer\, PlayLab will spill onto the streets outside at night through projections\, offering an animated expression of sound\, movement\, and creativity that reinforces Studio Bell’s presence as a living\, active space within the city. \nPlayLab is a food and beverage-friendly space on the main floor of Studio Bell. It is free and open daily from 10 am to 5 pm. \nPlayLab is made possible thanks to the generous support of the Alberta Museums Association and the Radomski Foundation. \nAbout National Music Centre | Centre National de Musique\nNational Music Centre (NMC) is a registered charity dedicated to amplifying the love\, sharing\, and understanding of music.
