Exhibition Level 1 cSPACE
Month of September
Reception Saturday September 17, 6-9 pm

It is an honor for us to have a privilege to invite you to Calgary’s New Exhibit made possible to you by cSPACE titled; Sunburnt Throat: Discovering Commonalities.

A Duo exhibit featuring two Calgary based Filipino Artists, Harvey Nichol and Ryle Ramirez. The venue for the exhibition will be at cSPACE (1721 29 Ave SW Suite #125,  Calgary, AB T2T 6T7, Canada). This show will highlight the artist’s perspective towards the brevity of life and our unspoken and and mostly unrecognized bravery to live. 

Sunburnt Throat in the context of this exhibit is meant to be understood in a figurative approach. The direct translation for sunburnt throat can be taken literally, however limiting itself to a physical level of discomfort. In conjunction with the word “throat”, the concept of this exhibit is figuratively taken as the suppressed and halted voices within the community.

Generally speaking, the vast majority of our society belong to the working community. Belonging in this community is often a struggle as people’s lives inevitably settle between choices that determine their future. However, a sunburnt throat highlights the awareness of life altering choices and the desire to continue despite circumstances. The action symbolizes extending a vital organ to vulnerability.

The conclusion of being sunburnt can also result in a catastrophic end if continued to be ignored. Internal struggles that continue to be unnoticed by society creates an unforgiving toll that will alter our perception for specific members of our community. 

Our reception night will be  on September 17, 2022, and the timings for the event are from 6 o’clock PM till 9 o’clock in the evening. Artist’s speech will start at 8, until then please enjoy our complimentary drinks while feasting your eyes on the showcased artworks. This exhibition will surely benefit the visitors who would want to venture more and discover their inner yearnings to which society has forced them to silence.
