Nepal is the Best Value Destination to travel to. Nepal’s cultural landscape is every bit as diverse as its physical one. The spectacular Himalayas comprise the highest mountains on earth and boast a surreal landscape of snow-covered peaks sure to leave a powerful impression. The Himalayan country of Nepal, situated between India and China, offers some of the best access to these mountain peaks, where landscapes vary from subtropical valleys (complete with banana trees) to alpine forests (home to grazing yaks). Customs and traditions differ from one part of Nepal to another. A conglomeration lies in the capital city, Kathmandu, where cultures are blending to form a national identity. Kathmandu Valley has served as the country’s cultural metropolis since the unification of Nepal in the 18th Century. A prominent factor in Nepali’s everyday life is religion. Adding color to the lives of Nepalese are festivals the year round which they celebrate with much pomp and joy. Food plays an important role in the celebration of these festivals. Capital is surrounded by a valley full of historic sites, ancient temples, shrines, and fascinating villages. Kathmandu is an incredibly diverse historic city with breathtaking Newari architecture, centuries-old Hindu and Buddhist religious sites. […]

Curated by Tsering Frykman-Glen. In “Naturalezxs No Binarixs : Non-binary Natures”, Raechel utilizes multi-disciplinary artmaking practices to work to imagine possible transformations that humans, plants, animals, and technology could undergo collectively through processes of queer worlding.

STAY SILENT DRIFT DEEP is a meditation on how one navigates through times of trauma. Each of the four artists sift the ark well of their internal structures, probing for a way to examine and resolve their individual dilemmas. Is there peace in solitude? Can my mental health be mapped? Where are the spaces for self-discovery? How deep does this grace go? The exhibition asks viewers to untether their expectations and fall into the turbulence of contemporary lived experience. STAY SILENT DRIFT DEEP is the culmination of a 6 month artist residency at The SPAO Centre, where each artist worked on personal passion projects. The artists negotiated between the challenges of ongoing pandemic restrictions, and staying true to their artistic pursuits. The result is a timely and thoughtful experience that pursues authenticity despite external pressures. Hours of operation The Gallery is open Wednesday to Sunday from 12PM to 5PM. Holiday exceptions apply. The gallery is free and open to the public, as well as wheelchair accessible. For more information, contact gallery@spao.ca The SPAO Centre is home to the Ottawa region’s only independent and critical gallery space dedicated to lens-based art. Gallery programming includes the exhibition of photographic and video art […]
Regart, centre d’artistes en art actuel, présente Télé-Chevreuil, une œuvre numérique de Boris Dumesnil-Poulin. L’œuvre évolutive sera logée sur le site de Regart pour un an à partir de la mise en ligne le 15 octobre, où le public pourra observer les développements de Télé-Chevreuil. Une diffusion en galerie aura lieu du 5 novembre au 3 décembre. Télé-Chevreuil présentera une série de vidéos qui mettent en scène des images animées, ralenties ou immobiles. Les séquences qui se retrouvent dans le projet sont puisées à partir d’une banque d’images tirées de voyages et de tournages en nature. Un programme numérique contrôlera et génèrera un flot d’images en modifiant la vitesse et en créant des compositions aléatoires. Petites téléportations dans la vie secrète de plantes, de rivières et de montagnes, Télé-Chevreuil s’inscrit dans une approche contemplative de l’image télévisuelle, tournée vers la durée, la décroissance, vers une immersion méditative du regard. L’aspect cyclique du projet est incarné par des images, des personnages ou des thèmes récurrents. «Par la répétition, de petits récits sont brodés en filigrane dans la durée». De nouvelles captations seront produites et intégrées à la banque de données qui nourrit la diffusion annuelle en continu, «assurant que la diffusion Web se renouvèle et génère de nouvelles possibilités pour le public.» Télé-Chevreuil s’inspire […]
