Mann Art Gallery presents ‘A Path Among the Trees’

Jul 30, 2021 | 2:00 PM

The Mann Art Gallery has been pleased to showcase a new gallery called ‘A Path Among the Trees.’

The gallery has been on display since July 9 and will be featured until August 21.

‘A Path Among the Trees’ is a showcase by Prince Albert Cree-Metis artist Jason Baerg.

“I was inspired by media and everything that was creative on-air,” Baerg said in a media release. “Painting is a sacred bundle that echoes through ancestral time, carry it responsibly and make a meaningful contribution to it.”

Baerg’s work consistently evokes and challenges themes of community, ritual, Cree cosmology, Indigenous futurisms, and survivance. The term survivance suggests the dynamic and creative endurance of Indigenous people.

For the first time since before the pandemic, the art gallery will be having a closing reception on the evening of August 19. There will be food, and drinks available and Jason will also be there.

“The exhibition is five pieces. There is immersive pieces, paintings and also a digital projection with music as well,” Tia Furstenberg, the galleries registrar and digital media coordinator told paNOW. “It’s really a whole bunch of cool different media.

“People have had a real interest in the exhibition, it has been really special.”

The Mann Art Gallery already has an idea of the gallery that will be coming next.

“I believe it is a textile exhibition,” Furstenberg said.

The main gallery will show work from Dianna Chabros and in the Project Space will show displays from Tracy Charette Fehr and Yokozawa Farquharson Hanna.
