Newzones is thrilled to announce the fourth edition of the invitational exhibition, FreshFaces.

FreshFaces is a curated exhibit which brings together select Canadian artists for a one-time group showing, continuing Newzones’ commitment to introducing significant contemporary art practices to its audiences. Through distinct material languages and conceptual frameworks, the artists in this exhibition expand conversations about home, shelter, land, memory, care and perception – offering a survey of art practices that are both intimate and expansive.

FreshFaces will demonstrate how, for these artists, place is a lived experience – it’s psychological, historical, familial, and embodied. Domestic structures shimmer in stark environments. Cultural identities and narratives are explored through Indigenous artistic processes. Landscapes repeat and fragment, challenging our perceptions. Moments and places are converted to a language of colour and texture. Concepts of house and home are dissected. The connections and perceptions of place result in a stimulating and fresh view of “New to Newzones” and “New to Calgary” talent.

Newzones is thrilled to include and introduce Shawn Evans, Will Gill, Takashi Hilferink, Karine Léger, and Michelle Sound as part of our fourth iteration.
