From the Editor
I'm road-tripping a lot this summer. In fact, we just made a visit to the Cardiff Miller Warehouse in Enderby, British Columbia. If you haven't been and you enjoy sound installations — and people with wild, boundary-less imaginations — it is a must.
We spent two hours roaming through the works, and we can't wait to return to do it all over again. There's nothing quite like it in Canada and to find it in the tiny town of Enderby (pop. 3,000 give or take a few) makes it seem extra-special. And then stop fo doughnut at Sutherland's Bakery, a tip we received from an Enderby resident.
Speaking of road trips, Laura St. Pierre heads to Prince Albert, Sask. for Laura Hosaluk’s new exhibition, The Circle and the Dot, at the Mann Art Gallery. “The curves, textures and subtleties of the earthen sculptures sing in the quiet of the space. It is as if we are sitting in a church just as the choir inhales to share their first note,” she writes. The show is on until Sept. 27.
Also in Saskatchewan, Death Boat and Other Stories is now through May 2, 2027 at the MacKenzie Art Gallery in Regina.
And Yani Kong explores Star Witnesses at Vancouver’s Polygon Gallery on now through Sept. 28. “Each work ponders the solace that comes from gazing up, especially when one is unmoored and dispossessed, while sustaining a meditation on the shared nature of this view,” she says.
Terry Havlis Drahos draws inspiration from the Surrealists for her collages. Her solo exhibition, Trying to Make Sense, is on until Aug. 30 at ARTSPLACE Gallery in Annapolis Royal, Nova Scotia.
What about you? Any road trips this summer? Have you spotted art — or extraordinary roadside attractions — along the way? Drop us a note and share.
