Bartlett in 2015 Alberta Biennial

---

Ashleigh Bartlett is one of the 42 artists included in “Future Station: 2015 Alberta Biennial of Contemporary Art” curated by Kristy Trinier.

Bartlett will be showing a video titled “Bucketheads” and a cluster of new paintings on paper titled “Their Party.” The exhibition runs until May 3rd at Enterprise Galleries with The University of Alberta, and The Art Gallery of Alberta in Edmonton.

Future Station: 2015 Alberta Biennial of Contemporary Art is an examination of the creative practices at work with Alberta artists and ultimately an expression on what it feels like to be an artist in Alberta. The title is derived from an abandoned transit platform located under the civic centre of the province’s capital, Edmonton. Future Station is in reality both a physical and allegorical place of transition and stasis: part urban mythology and part monument to the banality of dormant infrastructure. It serves as a metaphor for the status of contemporary visual culture in Alberta – it exists and functions as a potent vacancy awaiting due recognition.
