Martin Kerr might be the only artist in the world to have played 300 live shows during 2020-21. When Covid-19 cancelled all his touring and festival plans for 2020, he launched 'Stay Home Street Concerts' instead. As soon as the snow melted he was out on the streets every day, bringing music and hope to the masses, one block at a time in Edmonton. From their driveways, balconies and front lawns, every show finished with the whole street singing ‘You’re Amazing’, the uplifting, instantly singable hit from Kerr’s latest album. The street tour was a return to his roots. Martin built his career from the streets, one passer-by at a time, for ten years before his breakout success in 2017. In a matter of weeks he went from busking to selling out the Winspear Centre, then opening for Sarah McLachlan and landing his album in the Canada Top 10.

Diggers showcases humankind’s obsession with altering our habitat for ease of mobility, pleasure, and comfort. Goretzky has a fascination with the heavy-duty equipment that was used in the transformation of Wascana Lake in Regina. The sheer size of the equipment and the magnitude of the project was impressive to the artist; the removal of 1.3 million cubic metres of mud, at a cost of million, was an interesting concept. As a species, we have created machinery specially designed for executing construction tasks like earth moving operations. Although, we are transforming the earth for our own particular tastes, nature is ever present. Nature shows itself as a small plant pushing its way between the cracks in a sidewalk or a jack rabbit bolting across an asphalt parking lot. Nature is ever present and waiting to burst forth and reclaim the world. We walk a thin line with our obsession of transformation and conservation of the natural world which surrounds us. Goretzky hopes that the viewer leaves with a sense of their actions and how we end up reshaping the world.
Mann Art Gallery Upcoming Exhibits
Gregory Hardy is much admired across the country and beyond for his vigorous and direct landscapes of the prairies and boreal lakes and forests of northern Saskatchewan. This exhibition features work produced around his island cabin on Lac La Ronge. He draws quickly and aggressively, en plein air from his kayak, with subsequent refinements completed in the studio. A remarkable feature of his landscapes is the weighty prominence given to the sky and its clouds. Curator Grant McConnell writes: “The clouds in a Hardy painting are as physical, as tangible as a mountain in a work by the Group of Seven painter Lawren Harris.” Hardy has exhibited extensively since 1975 and his work can be found in collections around the world.
Ken Van Rees is a landscape painter, and a member of the well-known collective Men Who Paint. However, it was a soil scientist that he first expressed his life-long love of forests. In 2015, a forest fire burnt his research plots in northern Saskatchewan, and while inspecting the damage to his equipment, he became engrossed with the patterns inscribed on his clothes from the charcoal of the burnt trees. This planted the seeds for an entirely new series of abstract works on canvas that take the form of rubbings and controlled imprints – produced by leaving canvases in the charred forest for extended periods.
A permanent collection exhibition curated by Breanne Bandur.
