Red Deer Gallery offers visitors chance to experience creative process
Most museum or gallery art exhibits feature finished products, typically the product of many hours of hard work but designed to look effortless. An ongoing exhibit at the Viewpoint Gallery in Red Deer, Alberta, looks to upend this by highlighting unfinished work at various stages of development.
The show, entitled ‘Works in Process: Public Art Process’ highlights objects that have been submitted to the city’s public gallery as part of proposals for competitions – all unfinished.
The objects on display include maquettes (small models intended as a guide for future sculpture), drawings, prints, photographs, proposals, textiles, and mixed media artwork. The show aims to demystify the creative process and potentially inspire visitors interested in painting, graphic design, sculpture, or other art forms. Visitors might just stop by an art supply store or print shop on the way home.
The Works in Process exhibition opened on March 1, and will be open to the public until May 3 at the Viewpoint Gallery. The Gallery is Red Deer’s most established art institution, and exists to give local artists and established professionals a regular exhibition space.
The Public Art collection, from which Works in Process is drawn, serves as a way of recording the city’s artistic heritage and the roots of many of its more recognizable public monuments and artwork.
