Instagram post 2156149029850213668_366502618 Gerald Ferguson (1937 – 2009) used quotidian materials to create striking, large-scale paintings that speak to the poetics of everyday life. Ferguson painted his “task-oriented” canvases by rolling black paint on canvas laid over objects such as garden hoses, doormats and ash cans. • Glenbow takes a look at this pioneering Canadian artist in the exhibition, “Gerald Ferguson.” Opening this Saturday, Oct 19.

Instagram post 2150329282927526731_366502618 New exhibition alert: Sybil Andrews: Art & Life opens October 19th! • DYK Glenbow’s connection with Sybil Andrews began in the early 1980s, when we organized an exhibition of her linocuts? As a result of this interest in her work, Andrews gifted more than 500 of her artworks to Glenbow, as well as the contents of her studio, which included personal papers and objects, making Glenbow the major study centre for Andrews’ life and work. • Sybil Andrews: Art & Life, which runs from October 19th to January 12th, includes over 200 items including sketches, archival photographs, oil paintings, blocks, materials and of course her breathtaking linocuts.
