The Bowman Arts Centre opens two new exhibits this Saturday.
Calgary photographer/videographer Mark Vitaris (www.markvitaris.com) is premiering his exhibit ‘Duality,’ July 17 in the music room of the Bowman Arts Centre.
“There are 18 pieces. He takes black and white photographs and manipulates the image by adding compositional elements in their original colours,” explained Bowman Arts Centre Gallery Services coordinator, examining a picture of a highway and a bridge with the lines down the middle coloured yellow.
“Sometimes it’s subtle, some times it is prominent,” he said adding Vitaris has also filmed a video about Milk River which has been screened around Southern Alberta.
The other exhibit opening Saturday at the Bowman Arts Centre is called ‘Cover.’ University of Lethbridge graduate Brenna Kanski (www.brennakanski.com), who has since relocated to Vancouver, will be showing several of her paintings.
“She does a series of assemblies. She’s a painter but adds fabric to make collages on the surface of them,” Logan continued.
“Both of them will be here for the opening. We’re hoping a lot of people will come out even with the South Country Fair happening,” he added.
The opening receptions are Saturday, July 17 from 7-9 p.m. Both exhibitions run until Sept. 18.
