We've got a big project that is nearing completion and we're so excited to see everything come together after years of curation and coordination. Here's a project sneak peak of two Julya Hajnoczky photographs by Royce Howland's Print Studio. Julya roams the west coast in a Mobile Natural History Collection Laboratory creating art as she goes. She employs photo-based processes, often with unconventional cameras such as high resolution scanners or multi-aperture pinhole cameras that are slow and sometimes unwieldy, to create her work. She typically deploys these tools near the end of a project, after she spends time researching and exploring the ecosystem she's engaging with. Hajnoczky has developed a large collection of photographs by artfully arranging, ethically gathered specimens on the glass of a scanner to create intimate portraits of ecosystems. Printed at very large scale, these pieces evoke a sense of wonder as the viewer can see incredible details normally invisible to the naked eye, while also offering the experience of being in a different relationship to these living beings, where the viewer is much smaller than the plants or mushrooms. Her delightful term for these subjects: charismatic microflora. @obscuralucida @roycehowland.print.studio @opusartprojects #opusartprojects #oap #opus #julyahajnoczky #roycehowlandprintstudio #calgaryart #calgaryartist #calgaryphotographer #artconsulting #scannography #scienceandart #artistscientist #womenincontemporaryart #contemporarycurator #artcurators #artadvisory #contemporaryart #projectsneakpeak #printsinprogress #contemporarycanadianart #canadianartist #contemporaryphotography #womeninart #canadianphotographer #naturephotography #contemporaryfemaleartist #artadvisor #artconsultants #scanography #charismaticmicroflora

The Multi-Being Camera Julya Hajnoczky (@obscuralucida ), Dogwood, Banana Slug, Pincushion Sunburst Lichen et al “The only true voyage of discovery . . . would be not to visit strange lands, but to possess other eyes, to behold the universe through the eyes of another, of a hundred others, to behold the hundred universes that each of them beholds, that each of them is.” - Marcel Proust Imagine stepping into the shoes (wings, paws, leaves, antennae) of our more-than-human neighbours. By building multi-apertured, multi-perspectival pinhole cameras, soaking the film in a soup of forest cast-offs before processing, and presenting the photos as kaleidoscopic assemblages, I invite the viewer to immerse themselves in the possibility of other perceptual worlds. On view through tomorrow, July 16th!

We hope you have enjoyed learning about our cohort in our recent posts and we are thrilled to welcome you this evening to share the work we have been doing the past two years! The MFA program comprises an international cohort of artists who work with renowned faculty and distinguished visiting curators, scholars, and artists. This thesis exhibition title These Light-Filled Bodies showcases the varied practices of the MFA class of 2026, with work addressing oral knowledge through transmission; the healing river; Métis floral Tuppies (dog blankets); animacy; optical debris, glares and reflections; obscurity and attunement in the everyday; Nikkei indigo methodology; male/artist/parent; cobalt as a network of entanglement; becoming the material body; and matrilineal influence in contemporary Inuvialuit fashion. These various thesis projects feature beadwork, ceramics, embroidery, painting, installation, photography, textile, video and hand-spun woven forms. 📍 Michael O’Brian Exhibition Commons + RBC Gallery, Emily Carr University Exhibiting Artists: Dakota Burpee @dakota.indigo Joshua deGroot @joshuadegrootfinearts Samantha Dickie @sam.dickie.studio Emilie Fantuz @emiliefantuz Julya Hajnoczky @obscuralucida Ariel Kesike Hill @akh_studios Alysha Johnny-Hawkins @ahtulala Meredith Jones @questionablestitching Ciara Linteau @ciarajayne Brett Mallon @brettmallon Carly Nabess @beadedhuckleberry Hitoko Okada @hitokookada Taalrumiq @taalrumiq

Meet the artists behind our month-long installations, featured throughout July as part of “Current”. 🌊🏞️ ⁠ ⁠ August Klintberg’s “Look There Listen Here” uses public architecture and public space within Crossroads, East Village as a performative arena for disclosing private emotions.⁠ ⁠ Natasha Faye Jensen’s research-led project “Scenograph: Ghost River of the Elbow River” explores the layered histories of Calgary through the landscape of the Glenmore Reservoir, which is fed by the Elbow River.⁠ ⁠ Soloman “Sol” Chiniquay's lens-based work partners with audio to explore the ways he is welcomed to witness expressions of Indigeneity, creating imagery that attempts to show, in sometimes raw ways, the land and the people on it, the ways people use and connect to the land, and the artifacts they leave on it.⁠ ⁠ Hannah Dubois’ “Clay/Rock/River Correspondence #1–3” is part of an ongoing experimental body of ceramic work exploring relationships between maker, material, and place, and the possibility of making these intersections visible.⁠ ⁠ Nahanni McKay produces sculptures, images and beadwork that takes the shape of spirits around her hometown in the Rocky Mountains. Her work aims to discuss navigating the complex national park system not only as an Indigenous person but through the perspective of wildlife.⁠ ⁠ Julya Hajnoczky’s “The Multi-Being Camera Project” will involve a group of multi-aperture pinhole cameras installed throughout the stretch of Prince’s Island Park.⁠ ⁠ From outdoor projects to workshops, performances and interdisciplinary tours, “Current” invites you to connect with art in unexpected ways.⁠ ⁠ ⭐🔗🗓️Please follow the link in our bio, where you can find:⁠ - A list of participating artists and full bios⁠ - Our volunteer sign-up ⁠ - And our full programming schedule and project details⁠ ⁠ This programming is generously supported by RISEUp Calgary with specific activations also supported by The City of Calgary and East Village Calgary.⁠ @riseupcalgary⁠ @cityofcalgary⁠ @eastvillageyyc⁠ ⁠ Image Credits:⁠ Slide 1: David Miller⁠ Slide 2-6: Courtesy of the respective artist.⁠

Meet the Artist: Julya Hajnoczky (@obscuralucida ) In The Multi-Being Camera project, Julya Hajnoczky works with analog photographic processes to speculate on the umwelt, or unique perceptual worlds, of our more-than-human kin, developing m methodologies that support relational co-creation with plants, animals and fungi. By building unconventional, multi-perspectival pinhole cameras inspired by Dogwood, Banana Slug, and Pin-cushion Sunburst Lichen, and incorporating plant materials into the darkroom process, she opens her work to the influence of these more-than-human contributors. The resulting photographs, recombined into sprawling organic assemblages, are an invitation to step into the possibility of other ways of being, of seeing, in the world. Her research examines approaches to living well within our deep ecosystemic entanglements. Seeking ways of countering Capitalocene narratives that reduce plants and animals to mere resources, her central concern is creating work that closes the empathy gap by inviting viewers to imagine stepping into the shoes (wings, paws, leaves, antennae) of other beings. The work gestures toward this multitude of more-than-human existences, so that we may begin to grasp that we have been living in our own subjective worlds. In these encounters, we can ask ourselves “what’s it like to be you?” By attending closely to the answers, perhaps we can move beyondunderstanding, and towards making kin with these living beings. #emilycarruniversity
