Kevin Kelly is an art professor at the University of Manitoba. His comical works are both ridiculous and erotic. He will present his new animation pieces that focus on Bangalore, Beijing, Montreal, and Winnipeg. These high strung psycho tropes promise a future of kinetic monuments and structures.  Although he was trained primarily as a painter his work takes form in a broad range of media.

Nancy Townshend will present the highlights of her book, Art Inspired by the Canadian Rockies, Purcell Mountains and Selkirk Mountains 1809 - 2012 (Calgary:  Bayeux Arts, Nov. 2012).

Townshend’s practice is rooted in bringing to the world's attention the significant accomplishments of Canada’s visual artists that have been previously overlooked and undervalued. Whether a book, major art exhibition or website, Townshend tries to bring national and international recognition to this deserving art.

“My most recent work has explored the relationship of modernity to structures that buttress and frame a sense of the self. In 2009 I exhibited a series drawings paintings and sculptures at MKG127 in Toronto that charted the polarities of hippy culture, recovery and religion and questioned the role of the “the spiritual in art.” My most recent show “Display” at the same gallery followed similar lines.
