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:Haig Aivazian: You May Own the Lanterns\, but We Have the Light
DESCRIPTION:Exhibit: Haig Aivazian’s You May Own the Lanterns\, but We Have the Light \nContamporary Calgary: #701 11th Street SW\, Calgary\, AB\, T2P 2C4 \nMay 7—August 16\, 2026 \nWho has the power to control light? In what ways can darkness be weaponized? \nYou May Own the Lanterns\, but We Have the Light (2022-ongoing) brings together three episodes of a cartoon mini-series by Haig Aivazian\, building on his ongoing examination of the public administration of light and darkness as a policing tool. \nDrawing on the history of public lighting\, the work considers artificial light not just as a means for illuminating the streets at night\, but as a mechanism of governance\, where visibility underpins surveillance\, authority\, and the staging and enforcement of social order in public space. \nMost civilizations have long understood the night as a realm of mystery. It belongs to creatures we have been trained to fear: gargoyles\, vampires\, and werewolves\, lurking through the shadows. They inhabit the darkness\, only to be banished by daylight – exposed\, vilified\, and cast as dangerous. But the night is also when we dream. Reality loosens its grip and other worlds begin to take shape. In dreams\, regimes can falter\, hierarchies dissolve\, and new orders come into being – if only for a moment\, before the day returns. \nYou May Own the Lanterns\, but We Have the Light is composed of fragments of found cartoons and animations from a wide range of sources\, all meticulously redrawn\, stitched together\, and reanimated in collaboration with a team of animators in Beirut\, with varying degrees of alteration to the original material. In this work\, the night becomes fertile ground for upheaval and resistance\, a space that allows for refuge and revolution\, where efforts to take it over and colonize it are met with acts of subversive escapism and defiance. \nThe exhibition looks at both the street and the nightclub as sites of disruption\, drawing parallels between dancing and protest as forms of communal resistance. But it also traces the moment when these gestures begin to fail – when dance\, gathering\, and dreaming are no longer sufficient to hold the weight of opposition. This moment demands that we consider the necessity of other modes of cultural production\, ones that are capable of fighting – and ultimately undoing – the conditions that allow an oppressive world order to persist. \nHere\, we are faced with a threshold: prevailing systems are about to collapse\, and new ones have yet to take shape. How can we reclaim power in the night?

SUMMARY:Arkells – Between Us City Takeover at Palomino
DESCRIPTION:Arkells – Between Us City Takeover at Palomino Smokehouse \nWhere: Palomino Smokehouse and Social Club\n109 7 Avenue S.W Calgary\nhttp://thepalomino.ca/\n18+ with government issued identification\nWhen: Tuesday May 19\, 2026 Doors: 7:00pm\nArtist presale / Wed\, Feb 18\, 2026\, 10:00 a.m. MST\nLive Nation presale / Thu\, Feb 19\, 2026\, 12:00 p.m. MST\nGeneral sale / Fri\, Feb 20\, 2026\, 10:00 a.m. MST\nhttps://www.ticketmaster.ca \nNO JERK POLICY ALWAYS IN EFFECT!! \nArkells\nWhether they’re rocking stadiums\, making a beeline for the discotheque\, or gathering around the campfire\, the implicit message of Arkells is always the same: everyone is welcome here. Since the beginning\, Arkells have never wavered in their mission to be the house band that soundtracks the greatest nights of your life and provides emotional support in your darkest hours. And that communal spirit is reflected in an ever-evolving sound that hits all the perennial pleasure points—fusing the anthemic power of alt-rock\, the pulpit-shaking passion of vintage soul\, the off-the-cuff intimacy of singer-songwriter music\, the urbane edge of 21st-century indie\, and the futurist aesthetics of modern R&B. \nThanks to that eclectic ethos\, Arkells have continued to evolve\, while making everyone feel right at home. As one of the most heavily rotated acts on radio\, and all-time record holders of the JUNO Award for “Group of the Year\,” Arkells have extended their reach beyond borders by infiltrating all corners of pop culture; from global sports telecasts and top-tier video games to the stages of Coachella and Bonnaroo. But the band’s longevity is ultimately a function of their commitment to never coasting on past glories and to always live completely in the moment. Even through their impressive history together\, Arkells still approach every gig as an opportunity to prove themselves to the unconverted; as they’re fond of saying\, each time they take the stage\, “we understand the assignment.” The first rule of rock ‘n’ roll is to play every show like it’s your last—but as Arkells prove night after night\, it’s just as important to hold onto the unbridled energy and enthusiasm of your first. \nhttps://www.arkellsmusic.com\nhttps://www.instagram.com/arkellsmusic \nIn the spirit of reconciliation\, we acknowledge that we live\, work and play on the traditional territories of the Blackfoot Confederacy (Siksika\, Kainai\, Piikani)\, the Tsuut’ina First Nation\, the Iyarhe Nakoda (including Chiniki\, Bearspaw\, and Goodstoney First Nations)\, the Battle River Territory of the Métis Nation of Alberta Districts 5 & 6\, and all people who make their homes in the Treaty 7 region of Southern Alberta.\nNO JERK POLICY ALWAYS IN EFFECT!

SUMMARY:Béton Armé with Grotto\, Creeping Chill and Closetalkers
DESCRIPTION:Béton Armé with guests Grotto\, Creeping Chill and Closetalkers \nWhere: Palomino Smokehouse and Social Club\n109 7 Avenue S.W Calgary\nhttp://thepalomino.ca/\n18+ with government issued identification\nWhen: Wednesday May 20\, 2026\nDoors: 7:00pm / Action 8:00pm\nAdmission: $20.00 advance at www.showpass.com\nGeneral On-sale Date: Friday February 6\, 2026 @ 12pm MT\nNO JERK POLICY ALWAYS IN EFFECT!! \nBéton Armé (Montreal)\nMontréal has always had an active music scene\, but it seems hard for bands to break out and reach wider audiences outside Canada. However\, when a band is able to break out\, they become the archetype for their respective sounds\, creating something entirely unique from familiar riffs and structures.Take VOIVOID’s sci-fi thrash and speed metal mutation from the 80s\, INEPSY’s motör-charged wasteland punk ‘n’ roll from the early 2000’s and now…BÉTON ARMÉ’s uplifting blend of Oi!\, punk and hardcore. While it seems most people are learning about the band through their recent tours—hitting cities in Europe\, USA\, Australia and Japan—they have been active since 2018\, meticulously dialing in their sound. \nInitially influenced by the skinhead scenes of France and Italy\, their new LP “Renaissance” borrows from sounds outside the subculture\, orchestrating harmonies to unite the punks\, skins and moshers. The comparison to L’INFANTERIE SAUVAGE is undeniable (they even cover “Les poings levés mais les poings liés”!) with odd song structures switching from slow melodies to fast punchy pogo beats. The Italian influence also still remains\, tapping into bands showcased on the “QUELLI CHE URLANO ANCHORA…” compilation (BASTA\, NABAT\, ROUGH\, etc…). However on this LP\, there is a subtle influence of early American hardcore bands\, adding more stomping rhythms and upping the pace of the songs. \nRenaissance is an excellent example of how a band can evolve their sound without losing the aspects that define them: razor sharps riffs\, unexpected disco drum syncopations and\, of course\, orchestral “Ohhhhhhs”. Every song verges on an anthem that will get stuck in your head for days. \nThis record truly is a “Renaissance”\, hopefully ushering in a new era of scene unity and positivity\, making you believe that together anything is possible.

SUMMARY:Gateway Events Presents: Roman Clarke
DESCRIPTION:Winnipeg multi-instrumentalist Roman Clarke hits the legendary King Eddy stage on May 30. Special guest Dempsey Bolton will open the show. \nAbout Roman Clarke: \nRoman Clarke is a multi-instrumentalist\, producer\, and artist from Winnipeg\, Manitoba. He started playing drums in touring bands at the age of 17\, and ended up performing all over the world with acts such as The Bros. Landreth\, Ariel Posen\, Fieldguide\, Boy Golden\, and many others. He has produced music for Joey Landreth\, Field Guide\, and Taylor Janzen. He played\, sang\, and recorded everything on his first album\, SCORCHER\, which is a funk/pop epic that was a modest cult success. The following album entitled GOOD PERSON was similarly self produced\, with the help of Winnipeg artist and long time friend\, Francis Rae. Roman Clarke’s third album\, I THINK IT’S ALL A DREAM\, was recorded in January 2022 completely live aside from a few background vocals\, in his home in St. Boniface\, Winnipeg. With the help of his limitlessly talented band\, I THINK IT’S ALL A DREAM stands to represent an ethic of collaboration and community that Roman Clarke strives to propagate and maintain in his creatively rich home city. Currently\, Roman is touring as drummer with The Bros. Landreth and Boy Golden.\nAbout Dempsey Bolton: \nWith Dempsey Bolton’s upbeat anthems it’s hard to tell if it’s his heart that’s breaking or if he’s the heartbreaker. Introspective lyrics layered with punchy beats define Dempsey’s self-produced indie pop hits. Coming off winning back-to-back YYC Music Awards for Pop Single of the Year\, Dempsey is looking to continue this momentum with his third album release\, “IN THE PRESENCE OF GIANTS” in April of 2026. The album is a self-produced tour-de-force\, featuring aggressive vocals and massively distorted drums\, cathartically tackling themes of isolation and heartbreak.

SUMMARY:Adelita Husni Bey: Agency
DESCRIPTION:Exhibit: Adelita Husni Bey’s Agency \nJune 4—November 8\, 2026 \nContemporary Calgary: #701 11th Street SW\, Calgary\, AB\, T2P 2C4 \n2014\, Rome\, Italy. \nThirty-five students at Manara High School took part in a workshop modelled on a group exercise\, derived from a 1970s UK critical civic studies curriculum method. Led by Italian-Libyan artist Adelita Husni Bey\, the students were divided into five constituencies – politicians\, activists\, bankers\, journalists\, and workers – and asked to engage with pressing issues in contemporary Italian politics\, including unemployment\, snap elections\, and natural disasters. \nPresented more than a decade after its completion\, Husni Bey’s Agency (2014) is a documentation of this workshop\, reflecting on the nature of power; the ways in which it manifests and operates; and how it may (or may not) be effectively used. Both disquieting and astute\, the work resonates as urgently today as it did at the moment of its making\, 12 years ago.

SUMMARY:St.Arnaud - Big Shiny Spring Tour With Special Guest Janky Bungag
DESCRIPTION:Where: Sweet Loretta Bar\, Calgary\, AB\nWhen: Thursday\, June 4  •  8 PM – 10:30 PM \nIndie rock with sharp lyrics and big feelings; St.Arnaud brings loose\, lively\, full-band exploration to their third LP release tour. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSt.Arnaud is the music of Ian (St.Arnaud)\, a project that balances buoyant\, wry storytelling with roots and early indie influences\, all wrapped in lively\, danceable arrangements. Often described as “the goofy side of self-serious indie rock.” The collection is to be packaged into three deluxe singles\, and then released as a self-titled album on Cordova Bay Records. Each of these deluxe singles is a motley crew of songs\, packaged more around a mode of production than a particular genre or feeling. Steeped in the raucous and fun-loving 70s’ folkers and power poppers like Jonathan Richman and The Modern Lovers\, the result is a larger and livelier interpretation that retains Ian’s penchant for pop hooks and sardonic lyrics. \nThe album and its preceding EPs are a range of material including rock songs\, more folk-oriented singer-songwriter songs\, danceable rock songs\, and emotional ballads. St.Arnaud has played with Basia Bulat\, Reuben and the Dark\, and Lucy Rose among countless others and has performed at stages across the world including The Great Escape\, Reeperbahn\, New Colossus Festival\, FOCUS Wales\, and Tallinn Music Week. St.Arnaud has been featured on Exclaim!\, Folk Radio UK\, Indie 88\, CKUA\, and the CBC Radio 3 top 10.
