What lies beyond?
An exhibition on all four floors of cSPACE!
Discover the exhibition by talented French photographer Alexandra Laurent Le Passage from January 5th to January 31st at cSPACE.
Native of Burgundy, Alexandra Laurent shares her passion for photography in subtle shots that evoke the passage of both time and space.
Modesty photographer
Her photographic approach is always based on a search for sobriety. Whether it is a monument or a landscape, Alexandra captures the space with modesty, the photographer remaining in the background, like a guest who casts a discreet gaze on the scene. Her lens naturally turns to simple objects or everyday places taken in an instant transcended by a play of light and shadow.
The search for silence
Alexandra’s photographs rarely highlight people, places revealing their beauty in a dehumanized context where silence takes over the scene. She is fascinated by deserted places that offer to the viewer a feeling of tranquillity through lines and curves receding towards the horizon. It is only in this context that we discover how sublime and mystical each scene is.
The fascination of the passage
A recurring theme in her work is the passage. Through a path, a corridor, a staircase or a window, Alexandra makes us think about the promise of the unknown. Each photograph is an invitation to consider what lies beyond this passage. The passage is also understood as the passing of time and its effects on the scene.
Photographs of the exhibition are for sale and buyers can get them after the exhibition for $90 – $130 per item (depending on the size). Please contact the office of Alliance Française of Calgary for more information.

Follow our lead and discover a unique world of wonders and magic with the spirirs of the forest.
The vernissage (opening) of the Uramado exhibition and Alexandra Laurent’s exhibition Le Passage will take place on Friday, January 13th at 6:00 p.m. Join us for this very special Wine & Cheese soirée and discover the beautiful work of these talented artists.

Danitdada (how are you doing or hello):
Nathan Patrick Meguinis is my name, but I am also known as Buffalo Boy, Traveling Rock, and Kind Hearted Man. Two of my names were earned, and one was given to me at birth by my Great-great-grandmother Bessie Inaa.
My artwork is a unique cultural visual expression of my Tsuut’ina (Dèné Nation) way of life which is a part of the International Peace Treaty #7. My art, murals, animations and illustrations are a unique contemporary stylization; a mix of abstraction, and realism that tells stories, historical events or philosophy.
Examples of Nathan’s work is on display on Level 4 of cSPACE in Marda Loop until the end of January. cSPACE is open for the public to explore Monday-Saturday, 8am-8pm.

Robert Greenwood and Dana Luebke founded Sun.Ergos in Calgary in 1977, and in the following years became Alberta’s foremost international touring company of theatre and dance. They have represented Alberta and Canada around the world, performing and teaching in 22 countries. Special among the awards they have received from Canada, the U.K., the United States, Poland, Croatia, Mexico and Iran is the Redom Danice Hrvatska s Likom Marka Marulica – Croatia’s highest cultural award – presented to them in 2004 by the President of Croatia.
Sun.Ergos’ mandate has always been to celebrate the differences and recognize the similarities among peoples and cultures in order to witness our human foibles, our joys, our triumphs and our challenges. Theatre critic Louis Hobson wrote of Sun.Ergos, “Truly unique…Sun.Ergos soars above most of what passes for originality in Calgary, and for that reason it deserves our attention, respect and support.”
