“My work is concerned with travel, tourism, and the processes of history. Perhaps growing up in rural/urban western Canada instilled an idea of “frontier in reverse,” an exploration for the headwaters of population flow. I am strongly interested in the idea of “Place” as well, what it is that makes a community distinctive. I am also interested in that which links seemingly unconnected places, the discovery of these connections is always illuminating. Particularly in the sense of mapping, discovering unforeseen links to other communities or places extends the map and makes it more complex.”
Don Gill is an artist who also teaches in the Art Department of the University of Lethbridge. He will talk about a current project titled “ Erratic Drawings in Twelve Volumes”. This body of work involves photographs, artist books and drawings produced through the act of moving through space and using a GPS device to record a track representing the shape of the walk. The artist has produced a work every day for more than a year, beginning in late June 2013 and continuing past July 1, 2014. To date more than 500 individual works have been produced as well as an artist book for each month the project continues.
