Visual Arts by Anne Severson Arts Update It’s graduation time at Alberta College of Art & Design and they’re making it a blast! The official ACAD Graduating Students’ Show will open in the Illingworth Kerr Gallery on April 15 at 8 p.m. This splash crowds a single work from each of the 120-plus graduating students into 425 square metres of exhibition space. For more depth, look for the smaller, adjunct exhibitions of the departments. Foursights, an exhibition featuring works from the jewelry & metals, fibre, ceramics and glass programs, should be looking good at Webster Galleries opening on April 16 at 7 p.m. with food, cocktails and music. That same evening at 5 p.m., the ACAD student-run Marion Nicoll Gallery will feature a closing reception for Adrienne Jenkins’s Windows. Rumour also has it that the painting/drawing program will exhibit starting April 20 in their third- and fourth-year studio. You may want to drop by if you’d like to check out studio facilities at ACAD. For more information call the art college at 284-7600. Calgary’s up-and-coming Jeremy Mayne is showing at Paul Kuhn Gallery with his Mythos: Drawing and Etchings. Thoughtful as Mayne always is, the press release explains his work, saying these "illustrate Mayne’s attitude towards western society’s notion that reality is held together by myths designed to support the story of the dominant culture." Canadian Art Galleries will be showing Saskatchewan artist William Perehudoff in celebration of his 80th birthday, starting April 17. An artist presentation and walkabout by Monica Tap will be held at the Muttart on April 18 at 1 p.m. in relation to her current showing, Landscape: Process And Perception. Refreshments and admission are by donation, and for more information call Muttart at 266-2764. In tandem with Making it New! at the Glenbow, a mixed-media exhibition of National Film Board photographs documenting Canadian counter-culture gatherings during the 1960s will be supplemented with music in Come Together: Gatherings of the Sixties. Additionally, the weekly Thursday at 7 p.m. presentations in the theatre will restart with music of the ’60s played and talked about by golden-oldie ’60s rocker Billy Cowsill, guitarist and songwriter Steve Pineo, and bass player Tim Leacock. For complete information call the Glenbow at 268-4103.
