SUMMARY:This is Not My Culture – Open Studio
DESCRIPTION:This is Not My Culture – Open Studio\ncSPACE Neighbourhood Hub \nArtist Xstine Cook invites you to contemplate the creative potential of plastic as she transforms diverted packaging material into a full body mask creature. \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. The globe’s frantic pace of plastic generation is at the crux of the fraught relationship between humans’ minds and hearts; our addiction to convenience\, vs the interconnectedness of all life. \nThe packaging materials for this residency were generated by Cook’s family’s normal consumption over the course of a year\, and will be prepared on site in the Hub\, where the mask will be imagined\, designed\, created and exhibited. Viewers will observe the repetitive\, meticulous process of creation\, and the slow reveal of the creature. \nOpen Studio\nWhenever the artist is working\, the space will be open. See schedule for confirmed times\, or drop by to see what’s going on. \nNote: Space will be closed: September 14-18 \nEvents and Happenings\nCheck out several community events happening as part of This is Not My Culture\, including Make-Your-Own Mask sessions\, Mapperz Bring Your Own HDMI Vol II projection mapping event\, Work and Watch movie nights\, Cabaret Jam puppet meet up\, a screening of the Bum Family’s film Pollution Solution\, a special National Day of Truth and Reconciliation screening of Gitz Crazyboy’s Peace Pipeline\, and an exhibition of This is Not My Culture creations. \n*Some events request registration via Eventbrite. \n*Photo credit: Sean Dennie

SUMMARY:This is Not My Culture – Watch and Work
DESCRIPTION:Watch and Work: Free screening of Koyaanisqatsi Godfrey Reggio’s classic 1982 film “Life Out of Balance” \nDrop in to watch Koyaanisqatsi “Life Out of Balance” an experimental classic film featuring a collection of expertly photographed phenomena with no conventional plot\, to a soundtrack by Philip Glass. The footage focuses on nature\, humanity\, and the relationship between them. \nDrawing its title from the Hopi word meaning “life out of balance\,” this renowned documentary/experimental film reveals how humanity has grown apart from nature. Featuring extensive footage of natural landscapes and elemental forces\, the film gives way to many scenes of modern civilization and technology. Given its lack of narration and dialogue\, the production makes its points solely through imagery and music\, with many scenes either slowed down or sped up for dramatic effect. \nPlease sign up at the Eventbrite link.

SUMMARY:This is Not My Culture – Watch and Work: Naqoyqatsi
DESCRIPTION:Watch and Work is a series of films and documentaries you can watch while artist Xstine Cook works on her Hub residency. Be welcome to bring along a project of your own. Please use the Eventbrite link to register. \nEvent 6: Monday September 11\n9pm: Watch and Work: Free screening of Naqoyqatsi Godfrey Reggio’s 2002 film Life as War. \nDrop in and watch Naqoyqatsi\, also known as Naqoyqatsi: Life as War. This 2002 American non-narrative film directed by Godfrey Reggio and the sequel to Reggio’s experimental 1982 film\, Koyaanisqatsi and 1988’s Powaqqatsi. Naqoyqasti is the third and final film in the Qatsi trilogy. \nNaqoyqatsi is a Hopi word (written as naqö̀yqatsi in Hopi orthography) meaning “life as war.” In the film’s closing credits\, Naqoyqatsi is also translated as “civilized violence” and “a life of killing each other”. A visual montage portrait of our contemporary world dominated by globalized technology and violence. \nWhile Koyaanisqatsi and Powaqqatsi examine modern life in industrial countries and the conflict between encroaching industrialization and traditional ways of life\, using slow motion and time-lapse footage of cities and natural landscapes\, about eighty percent of Naqoyqatsi uses archive footage and stock images manipulated and processed digitally on non-linear editing (non-sequential) workstations and intercut with specially-produced computer-generated imagery to demonstrate society’s transition from a natural environment to a technology-based one. Reggio described the process as “virtual cinema.” \nAccording to Reggio\, the film has no screenplay per se\, but three movements (like those of a symphony) with different themes:[5]\n1. Numerica.com: Language and place gives way to numerical code and virtual reality.\n2. Circus maximus: Competition\, winning\, records\, fame\, “fair play” and the love of money are elevated to the prime values of life. Life becomes a game.\n3. Rocketship twentieth century: A world that language can no longer describe. The resulting explosive tempo of technology is war and civilized violence. \nRelease date: October 18\, 2002\nDirector: Godfrey Reggio\nMusic composed by: Philip Glass\nSequel: Naqoyqatsi\, Powaqqatsi\nCinematography: Russell Lee Fine \nNaqoyqatsi will play as part of Xstine Cook’s Artist in Residency This is Not My Culture at cSPACE Eau Claire Neighbourhood Hub. Cook will be working on her art during the screening\, and attendees are welcome to bring along a project they want to work on while watching and listening to the talk. \nFree screening of this movie is presented as part of Xstine Cook’s This is Not My Culture artist residency at cSPACE Eau Claire Neighbourhood Hub. Xstine will be modifying and altering reclaimed commercial plastic packaging material into an artistic creation during the month of September. \nThe cSPACE Eau Claire Hub Artist in Residence program is supported by cSPACE Projects and The City of Calgary. \n*Note that capacity is extremely limited.* If you sign up\, please attend\, or cancel your reservation so that others may. \nPlease consider a donation to Nature Conservancy of Canada \nPlease sign up on Eventbrite.

SUMMARY:This is Not My Culture – Watch and Work with a Forest Ecologist
DESCRIPTION:Watch and Work – Free screening of a recording of forest ecologist Suzanne Simard’s talk on the interconnectedness of forest systems. \nDrop in and enjoy listening to a recording of Forest Ecologist Suzanne Simard talk where she reveals that trees are part of a complex\, interdependent circle of life; that forests are social\, cooperative creatures connected through underground mycorrhizal networks by which trees communicate their vitality and vulnerabilities\, and share and exchange resources and support. \nThe talk will play as part of Xstine Cook’s Artist in Residency This is Not My Culture at cSPACE Eau Claire Neighbourhood Hub. Cook will be working on her art during the screening\, and attendees are welcome to bring along a project they want to work on while watching and listening to the talk.\nSimard’s extraordinary research and tenacious efforts to raise awareness on the interconnectedness of forest systems\, both above and below ground\, has revolutionized our understanding of forest ecology. This increasing knowledge is driving a call for more sustainable practices in forestry and land management\, ones that develop strategies based on the forest as a whole entity\, not on trees as isolated individuals. \nMother Trees and the Social Forest was given on June 15\, 02021 as part of Long Now’s Seminar series. The series was started in 02003 to build a compelling body of ideas about long-term thinking from some of the world’s leading thinkers. The Seminars take place in San Francisco and are curated and hosted by Stewart Brand. \nThe Long Now Foundation is a non-profit dedicated to fostering long-term thinking and responsibility.

SUMMARY:This is Not My Culture – DIY Mask Making Activity

SUMMARY:This is Not My Culture – Open Studio
DESCRIPTION:This is Not My Culture – Open Studio\ncSPACE Neighbourhood Hub \nArtist Xstine Cook invites you to contemplate the creative potential of plastic as she transforms diverted packaging material into a full body mask creature. \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. The globe’s frantic pace of plastic generation is at the crux of the fraught relationship between humans’ minds and hearts; our addiction to convenience\, vs the interconnectedness of all life. \nThe packaging materials for this residency were generated by Cook’s family’s normal consumption over the course of a year\, and will be prepared on site in the Hub\, where the mask will be imagined\, designed\, created and exhibited. Viewers will observe the repetitive\, meticulous process of creation\, and the slow reveal of the creature. \nOpen Studio\nWhenever the artist is working\, the space will be open. See schedule for confirmed times\, or drop by to see what’s going on. \nNote: Space will be closed: September 14-18 \nEvents and Happenings\nCheck out several community events happening as part of This is Not My Culture\, including Make-Your-Own Mask sessions\, Mapperz Bring Your Own HDMI Vol II projection mapping event\, Work and Watch movie nights\, Cabaret Jam puppet meet up\, a screening of the Bum Family’s film Pollution Solution\, a special National Day of Truth and Reconciliation screening of Gitz Crazyboy’s Peace Pipeline\, and an exhibition of This is Not My Culture creations. \n*Some events request registration via Eventbrite. \n*Photo credit: Sean Dennie
