SUMMARY:This is Not My Culture – Public Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Artist Xstine Cook invites you to view the results of her month-long residency and contemplate the creative potential of plastic. \nReception at 7 pm on September 28 \nThe packaging materials for this residency were generated by Cook’s family’s normal consumption over the course of a year\, and were prepared on site in the Hub\, where the art was imagined\, designed\, and created. \nBy touching\, manipulating\, and re-purposing plastic that was intended for a single use before being thrown to Earth to process over unknown millennia\, “This is Not My Culture” invites you to view this miraculous material not as waste\, but as an extraordinary resource. This is Not My Culture contemplates the globe’s frantic pace of plastic generation that is at the crux of the fraught relationship between humans’ minds and hearts; our addiction to convenience\, vs the interconnectedness of all life. \n  \nABOUT XSTINE COOK \nA cultural activist who uses the power of storytelling to bring unconventional stories and art forms to light\, Xstine Cook operates on the core belief that all humans are art makers\, and acts of radical creativity are necessary to evolve our understanding of ourselves\, each other and our world. \nXstine is a visitor to the Treaty 7 area\, who was raised in Calgary and in the foothills of Alberta along Dog Pound Creek.
