This is a review of ManWoman’s Heart of Longing showing at Calgary’s Stride Gallery from June 12 to July 17, 2015.

In this essay, Peta Rake discusses Del Hillier’s participatory project The Trading Post, where an abandoned log cabin has been restored for use as a place to exchange objects that are no longer needed. Using the framework of a Duchampian pun, Rake describes a model of hospitable exchange between past and present, where host and guest are never in the same place at the same time.

This article reviews Sarah Fuller’s exhibition The Homecoming, held at KIAC Artist in Residence Program/ODD Gallery in Dawson City from Aug. 15 – Sept. 20, 2013.

The article discusses a publication and exhibition by the class of 2011 Masters in Curating Contemporary Art program at the Royal College of Art in London, England which consisted of annotated texts, work by the collective BANK, Simon A. Bedwell, Amelia Thompson and John Russell, which “corrected” art gallery press releases and the relationship between the critic and the criticized.
