Bryan Adams: ExposedFebruary 23 - May 4, 2014

Organized by Crossover; Curated by anke Degenhard and Mat Humphrey

Exposed features photographs from two distinct areas of Bryan Adams’ photographic practice. The first features portraits of his colleagues in entertainment, fashion and art. These portraits reveal unknown facets of his famous subjects and the depth of Adams’ photographic abilities. The second group of images, portraits of young British soldiers who have suffered life-changing injuries in Iraq and Afghanistan, bear witness to the soldiers’ scars, disabilities and disfigurements while revealing their grit, bravery and dignity.

Made in Calgary: The 1990sFebruary 8 - May 4, 2014

Organized by Glenbow Museum; Curated by Nancy Tousley

Guest curator Nancy Tousley brings the twentieth century to a close in the fourth installment of Glenbow’s Made in Calgary series.

Notions of what defined art in the 1990s quite literally expanded as large-scale installations and multi-faceted paintings and sculptures dominated the physical space of galleries and museums. Artists rejected any set school or movement and adventurously experimented with many different media.

Through the work of notable Calgary artists such as Rita McKeough, Chris Cran, John Will, Faye HeavyShield and Alan Dunning, Made in Calgary: The 1990s reflects this exciting time which saw local artists redefining their own art and Calgary’s place in the global art scene.

Did you Know?

Although “Graceland” usually conjures thoughts of Elvis, for Calgary’s art community in the 80s and 90s it had a very different connotation. In 1986, sculpture student Bart Habermiller transformed a junkyard into Calgary’s Graceland – an alternative arts space that gave artists a place to work, exhibit, perform and collaborate until it closed in 1997.

Worn to be Wild: The Black Leather JacketFebruary 8 - May 4, 2014

Organized by Harley-Davidson Museum in partnership with eMP Museum

The black leather jacket acquired its symbolic identity over the last half of the twentieth century. But its roots run deeper and its current meaning embodies some interesting contradictions.

The leather jacket evolved from garments developed to protect their wearers from danger or the elements. It was adopted by rugged—or ragged—individualists who rejected mainstream ideas of fashion. It has now become a crucial accessory of the fashion-conscious.

Worn to be Wild features 50 leather jackets, including early twentieth century aviation apparel; Second World War-era painted military flight jackets; punk jackets from the 1970s and 80s; jackets worn by Elvis, Arnold Schwarzenegger and other film and music celebrities; and haute couture by legendary designers such as Prada, Chanel and Givenchy.

recent acquisition

Chief Crowfoot’s Dag Knife

In the fall of 2013, Glenbow acquired, through auction, a dag knife and beaded hide sheath that belonged to Blackfoot Chief Crowfoot.

Crowfoot was born into the Kainai Nation in Southern Alberta and became a chief in 1870. He was instrumental in making peace with the Cree, and welcomed the North West Mounted Police to Blackfoot territory. A skilled diplomat, he fought to protect his people, and participated in the negotiation of Treaty 7.

This acquisition is a culturally and historically significant addition to our Indigenous Studies collection.
