Gallery FM

Gallery FM is pleased to exhibit "BE MY UMBRELLA" a group show of selected paintings of children that are born within pain and agony. Children that are not blessed with their fair share of happiness and childhood, and children who live their lives under the shadow of child labour, addiction, and loneliness. for these children painting is a way to heal their wounds and a way to make us as audiences ask ourselves "What is my role in these kids' life?"

Dates: Apr 1 -Apr 10.

Gallery FM is honored to host an exhibition of students work, the outcome of CPSC 601.28 group projects. The two-part exhibition will present the public with interactive, generative and immersive works, which explore the concepts of machine perception, intelligence and memory, generative aesthetics and sensory stimulation in immersive environments.

Dates:
Part I : Nov 30 - Dec 4.
Part II: Dec 7 - Dec 11

Opening reception
General public: Dec 1 from 1pm to 2 pm
VIP ( CMD, CPSC, ART, EVDS, SCPA ) : Dec 1 from 12:30 to 2

Student presentations (open to CMD, CPSC, ART, EVDS, SCPA, not general public ): Dec 3 and 8, 12:30 - 1:45

MUSE, by Julius Popa, opens this week at Gallery FM!

ART 317 Plays the Building
(An homage to David Byrnes "Playing The Building")

This exhibition consists of a collaborative instrument, featuring contributors from the University of Calgary's Electronics for Artists class (ART 317). Students in this class have developed a suite of approximately 30 electronic objects that produce sound in various ways. In an homage/re-enactment of David Byrne's piece "Playing the Building", these objects are triggered by a musical keyboard. Each individual note on the keyboard activates a specific object in the space. These objects, arranged throughout the exhibition space, create a spatialized and indeterminate musical experience.

This work is a collaboration between undergraduate students from the Computer Science and Visual Arts departments. The students are using Arduino, an open source micro-processor, to explore the creative application of electronics and programming to create dynamic and/or interactive works of art.

dFusion is an audiovisual installation in galleryFM, running from May 13-29, 2014.

Artists: Aura Pon and Julius Popa.

dFusion invites people to explore the proliferation, movement, layering and transformation of sound and light. A surrounding array of microphones and speakers allow sounds made by people within to be dispersed throughout the room and be animated in light patterns on wall-mounted projection mappings. With sufficient sound interaction between two or more microphone inputs, timreal and visual transformation takes place as sounds 'fuse' together. The immersive environment affords the creation of a continuously evolving textural composition shaped by the combined interaction of the people within the space.

galleryFM is open 10-2 Monday to Thursday. It may be open outside of those times as volunteer hours permit.

Last chance few days to see the exhibition POV until it closes Thursday, April 3.

gallery FM reception for P.O.V. by Oksana Kryzhanivska.

Some more information about artists currently presenting their work at the galleryFM

Check out the second exhibition at the galleryFM. P.O.V. – abbreviation for point of view is a collaborative installation by Oksana Kryzhanivska and Jeff Boyd. It explores the ideas of vision and perception from perspectives of an artist, a scientist and a video camera. The two projections display self-generated images reactive to visitors’ motion in camera’s field of view. The work explores mathematical origins of computational aesthetics with two implementations of the interactive kaleidoscope. While left display generates axis of symmetry derived from visitors’ motion, right display converts motion into attraction forces within the drawing.
