Jason Baerg is a Cree-Métis curator, educator, and visual artist. He pushes new boundaries in digital interventions in drawing, painting and new media installation. Fazakas Gallery will display Baerg's laser cut painting (ladder) installation series, alongside a new series of print works. Baerg uses unique ways in emergent 2D, 3D, interactive, immersive and fabrication technologies to envision Indigenous futurities through expansive visual forms and immersive optical experience.

Solo Exhibition by Rande Cook

Rande Cook is a multimedia artist born in culture-rich Alert Bay. With the strong teachings from his grandparents about culture and the sacred ceremonies of Potlatch, Cook became an accomplished singer and dancer and learned the values of life and culture that prepared him to be a strong leader. He carries two chieftainships: the Hamatam/Seagull, and the Gigalgam, both from the ancient ancestor Kwanusila/Thunderbird.
