Photos and Description of this 3 bedroom holiday condo in Aspen
Mountain View Condo, 3 Bedrooms, 2 Baths, (Sleeps 6)
This condo has a fantastic location to Aspen Mountain and downtown Aspen. You can ski directly onto Aspen Mountain from the condo. Or, if you prefer, the Aspen Mountain gondola is a short walk (1.5 blocks) from the condo. If you prefer to ski at Aspen Highlands, Buttermilk or Snowmass you are only 2 blocks from the free skier shuttle.
In addition to its excellent proximity to Aspen Mountain, this condo, with its floor to ceiling glass windows, has unrivaled views of Aspen Mountain, Red Mountain as well as downtown Aspen. Conveniently centered in the heart of Aspen you are never more than a few blocks from world class shops, hotels and restaurants.
This condo was recently renovated using luxury finishes, that include granite counter tops, stainless steel appliances, 4 flat screen TVs, a wood-burning fireplace, skylights throughout, a washer/dryer in the unit, and free wireless high-speed internet.
The master bedroom includes a king size bed, an in-suite bath with a walk-in shower, and a heated bathroom floor. One of the guest bedrooms includes a queen-size bed while the other guest bedroom has two twins that can be combined into a king if preferred. Both bedrooms share a hall access bathroom that also has heated floors.
All beds in the condo have new mattresses, layered in sumptuous linens, followed by pillows and duvets/down comforters; a wonderful and luxurious way to drift to sleep after a day in the mountains.
The condo also includes an outdoor ski locker near the front door. Flexible cleaning service is available (daily - weekly). The condo also comes with a permit for on-site (uncovered) parking.

About Grant Ahearn
I had been a visitor to Aspen, both winter and summer, for over 20 years prior to purchasing this condo. My family and I use the condo for our personal use frequently and treat it as our home - not just a rental unit.
Grant Ahearn purchased this condo in 2012
Why Grant Ahearn chose Aspen
Prior to purchasing this particular property, we looked at many other condos and homes both in the town of Aspen as well as in the surrounding communities. This particular property met all of our most important criteria - location, convenience, view. Because of its location, we never rent a car when we visit. The airport is only about 5 miles (10 min by taxi) away and everything is within walking distance (skiing, restaurants, shops, grocery store, pharmacy, free Aspen shuttle bus, etc).
Secondly, the views from this property are awesome! The entire west wall of our condo is floor to ceiling glass that provides an outstanding view of Aspen Mountain, the town of Aspen, and Red Mountain to the north.
Finally, the convenience of skiing directly onto the mountain is a huge bonus.
What makes this condo unique
The two big benefits of our condo are being able to ski onto the mountain directly from the condo and being able to easily walk to all of Aspen's shops and restaurants.
Unless you want to spend time exploring the area outside the town of Aspen, it is not necessary to have a rental car.

Given its true-life basis, the story is already devoid of suspense regarding Hirohito's ultimate fate, and Fellers's inquiry is made more sluggish by dramatically inert conversations with Japanese officials.
Mar 2, 2013Peter Webber's historical drama is blunt about its stylistic ambitions while at the same time failing to meet them, and the effect is one of sad ineffectuality.

Aug 26, 2013Based around a dark time in both Japanese and American history, Emperor is a subtle and beautiful story of a return to normalcy and the empathy that can come from anyone, even one of your worst enemies.
Emperor follows General Bonner Fellers (Matthew Fox) a man who lived in Japan prior to the war and is given the decision of whether or not the Emperor of Japan should be tried fro war crimes, a decision he is to make under the close inspection of General Douglas MacArthur (Tommy Lee Jones). Emperor doesn't even attempt to create tension when it comes to Fellers decision as the film isn't really about history but one mans attempts to console himself with his past and move on. The film creates tension by showing through flashbacks the relationship between Fellers and a Japanese woman he met in the states. As Fellers searches for his past love, someone he hasn't seen for a long time, the film shows a moving love story that is infused with some of the beauty of the country that is now in ruins. The film really isn't about the Emperor at all and it certainly isn't about Fellers quest either, its a rather simple story of how Fellers past relationship and his search for historical context regarding his decision helps him find answers to some of the questions that plague any man who has done horrible things and lost things along the way. The film proves to be extremely interesting thanks to the fact it turns both America and Japan into villains from the get go making them both culpable for the atrocities they have committed. The difference is that by setting the film in war torn Japan the film shows everything the war has caused by the Americans, the state of a once prosperous happy country that is one execution away from total collapse. The film is a love letter to Japanese culture and a love story well worth watching as Matthew Fox is a captivating actor and gives a revelatory performance well worth recognition. The film is a story not just about the past but about the future as it shows two countries in flux, Japan awaiting news of their fate and America trying to justify their actions having just committed one of the worst war crimes in history. Trying to find some kind of redemption even though they have made an indelible mark on a country it had already ravaged.… Full Review »
Aug 26, 2013I knew that Tommy Lee Jones as MacArthur was probably the worst miscasting since the invention of the motion picture. But I hoped for a miracle, that somehow that old dogfaced Texan could transform himself into the patrician MacArthur. He couldn't. It was simply awful. But bad as that was, and it was really bad, it wasn't as bad as the script. You were led to believe that the movie was going to be about MacArthur's administration of postwar Japan a fascinating chapter in that complicated man's history and in Japan's, deserving of a historically accurate and well-acted movie, in the manner of "Lincoln" and Daniel-Day Lewis. Instead, it is about the very beginning of that chapter, a brief period of a few days in which a subordinate of MacArthur's is tasked with ascertaining the guilt of Emperor Hirohito in the war. As anyone who has read "Shogun" knows, Japanese emperors are figureheads who are revered but not expected to actually interfere with prime ministers rather like the British monarch, but with a lot of pretense about his authority he doesn't really have which damn near got him hung at the end of WWII. Stretching that important judgment over a full-length movie might have worked if the history justified it, but it didn't. So the makers went completely off on some romantic subplot, just as the makers of "Midway" did almost 40 years ago, evidently just to kill time. When watching that otherwise estimable movie, I always have to fast-forward past the totally irrelevant melodrama. This melodrama tries to introduce some relevant cultural history out of the mouths of the mooning melodramatis personae, but it's not enough to justify their presence. And then there is the ridiculously implausible drunken fistfight that the main protagonist, a one-star general, gets into because he's mooning over his lost girlfriend. What an embarrassment.
As is this entire movie, except for the dignity lent by the characters of the Japanese officials. They make you pine for the good movie about that era could have been made.… Full Review »

Posted-April 26th, 11:07 pm
CINCINNATI (AP) -- The Bengals took Wisconsin guard Kevin Zeitler with their second choice in the first round of the draft.
Zeitler was at his home in Waukesha but didn't plan on having a draft party until tomorrow night because he was unsure when he'd get picked. Zeitler was projected to be either a late first round or early second round selection.
They needed a lineman after Nate Livings, their starting left guard each of the last two seasons, went to Dallas as a free agent. Right guard Bobbie Williams broke his right ankle in December and is an unrestricted free agent.
The Bengals had the 21st overall pick, but traded it to New England for the 27th pick and an extra choice in the third round.
The Bengals chose cornerback Dre Kirkpatrick from Alabama with the 21st overall pick in the opening round, addressing one of their biggest needs. He's the third cornerback chosen as Cincinnati's top pick in the last seven years, along with Johnathan Joseph (2006) and Leon Hall (2007).

A little about me...
I am a widow who has spent the past 17 yrs. taking care of my husband, dad and mom. Now it is time to take care of me. I have managed many changes in this past 16 months. I love to garden, play with my 2 beagles and be with my grandkids. I am a very caring and giving person. I am a great partner because I am very loyal to the person I am with. I am very loving and want that in return.
About the one I'm looking for...
Some one to enjoy life with who likes to just take things easy. He would have to be patient, especially since I have been married for 37 years and this is all new to me again. Friendly, loving and a good sense of humor. Someone who likes to take walks, likes kids gardening, going on trips, bumming around at sales and eating out. Someone who likes to cook would be a big plus.
I'd just like to add...
As I stated above I have done a lot of caregiving. I am now out to find companionship and fun. Your not going to find me on the back of a motorcycle or jet skiing. I am open to new things an adventures. What that may be is yet to be discovered. I do like gardening, movies, going places and seeing the world. Family is a strong suit of mine but they can only be just so much. Want to find someone to have long talks, walks and fun together. Hope this makes sense!

Michael Jordan's Bobcats lose No. 1 pick to Hornets
By STEVE REED AP Sports Writer May 31, 2012 10:26AM

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Even in the NBA lottery, the Charlotte Bobcats can't win.
Hope turned to disappointment Wednesday night as the New Orleans Hornets won the NBA lottery, giving them the first overall pick and the rights to select Kentucky forward Anthony Davis, the marquee player in this year's draft.
The Bobcats will select second overall.
Charlotte entered the draft with the best odds to win the lottery at 25 percent, but the Hornets, who finished with the fourth-worst record, beat them out.
Bobcats general manager Rich Cho was on stage for the televised draft. He told fellow executive Rod Higgins that he could "feel the air go out of me" when the pick was announced.
Higgins said "It was probably like that for anybody who's a Bobcats fan."
For the Bobcats, it was a little like watching the guy across the poker table pull a flush on the river to beat their three aces. A real punch in the gut, no doubt.
Most NBA analysts agree there's a huge drop-off from Davis to the second pick in the draft.
Higgins tried his best to put a positive spin on an extremely disappointing night during a news conference Wednesday night at Time Warner Cable Arena.
"We would have liked to have had number one, but we have number two, so the work starts for us," Higgins said. "We can get a very valuable player at number two who will help the nucleus of this team. At the end of the day that's what we're trying to do — we're trying to improve this team. Number two is going to be a valuable pick."
The Bobcats also have the 31st overall pick.
When asked if the Bobcats would have taken Davis first overall, Higgins smiled and said, "I mean it's hard to say he wouldn't have been the guy."
Higgins said the Bobcats have already had preliminary discussions about what to do if they didn't get the top pick, but that no decisions have been made on who they'll take at No. 2.
He said the Bobcats will work out at least six players prior to the June 28 NBA draft.
Among some of the potential candidates include Kentucky small forward Michael Kidd-Gilchrist, Florida guard Bradley Beal, Kansas power forward Thomas Robinson and Connecticut center Andre Drummond.
Higgins would not rule out trading the pick.
"We're going to through the process and we'll bring in a bunch of players," Higgins said. "We have a long list of items we have to accomplish this offseason and one of them being (hiring) a new head coach. That is something we will address in the next couple of weeks."
The Bobcats have interviewed eight potential candidates, although he said team owner Michael Jordan has informed Patrick Ewing that he's no longer a candidate.
It will be interesting to see if the Bobcats failing to land the No. 1 pick influences what coach might be willing to take on the task of rebuilding the NBA's worst team.
The Bobcats lost 22 games by 20 or more points last season and finished 7-59.
Higgins admitted getting the top pick would have made it a more attractive opportunity, but added "I don't know that it would change the landscape in terms of the candidates. We want a coach that is going to come in here first of all and be very happy to have the job and a guy who is going to take the young talent we have and develop it. For us that list is a wide list."

CMS Middle School Distributes Sales Tax Referendum And Voting Info Flyers At Open House
A middle school in the Charlotte Mecklenburg school system distributed two flyers to parents this past week. One was an informational flyer on a sales tax referendum for the county, the other was information on voting. Several parents reached out to me and sent me copies of the flyers. See the flyers here.
These are the same flyers that were objected to by County Commissioner Bill James that this constituted political activism by the school. I covered that story and I agree with that assessment. These flyers, whether created by an outside entity or not, were distributed by official channels and in many cases on school property. That's using tax dollars for political advocacy purposes.

More Activism In NC Schools
More fliers and activism in North Carolina schools. This time it's not an NCAE/Organize2020 protest flier that went home in the backpacks of our children. This time it is Charlotte Mecklenburg schools and a slanted flier about a proposed sales tax hike. Charlotte Observer has a write up here, which of course doesn't ask questions about the validity of the content of the flier.
"CMS spokeswoman Kathryn Block told the Observer the document "was developed as an informational document only."
– Charlotte Observer
Really? Who developed it and why is the informational document not providing where you drew your information from?

Bottom Line:
Race and age affect trauma outcomes in older and younger patients.
Caitlin W. Hicks, M.D., M.S., of the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, Baltimore.
Disparities in survival after traumatic injury among minority and uninsured patients has been well described for younger patients. But information is lacking on the effect of race on trauma outcomes for older patients.
How the Study Was Conducted:
The authors examined in-hospital mortality after trauma for black and white patients between the ages of 16 and 64 years and 65 years and older. The study included more than 1 million patients (502,167 patients were age 16 to 64 years and 571,028 patients were 65 years and older).
Younger white patients had better trauma outcomes than younger black patients, but older black patients fared better than similarly injured older white patients. The authors point out that similar paradoxical findings have been seen among nontrauma patients.
"Exploration of this paradoxical finding may lead to a better understanding of the mechanisms that cause disparities in trauma outcomes."

Spring is just around the corner at that means Spring Football to all the high school football junkies out there. During the 2009 season, I viewed more than 200 high school football games (most on video as I haven't figured out how to be in more than one place at a time yet) for teams around the Central Texas area. For me, the Centex area extends from Temple down to New Braunsfels.
The 2010 Class graduated some great talent to fill the ranks of the Big 12 like Dominic Espinosa to Texas, Tyrus Thompson to Oklahoma and Nehemiah Hicks to Texas A&M. However, there is plenty of talent still in the Centex pipeline. So here is my attempt to spotlight the Top 25 players returning next season. There was an attempt to keep the list balanced between positions and schools.
*Michael Brewer – QB Lake Travis SR
Super poised, great footwork and can make all the throws.
*Kenny Williams – RB Pflugerville Hendrickson SR
A 17-year-old Bo Jackson. Very rare blend of power and speed.
*Jordan Wade – DT Stony Point SR
Man among boys. Pure explosion off the ball. Not sure anyone can block him next season.
*Josiah Monroe – QB Bastrop SR
Worth the price of admission to watch this kid scramble and make plays with his arm and legs.
*Conner Sheehan – LB Anderson SR
Very under rated LB. Great instincts – always knows where the ball is. Delivers the hit when he gets to the ball carrier. Puts up huge tackle totals.
*Chet Moss – LB Cedar Park SR
*David Ash – QB Belton SR
*Joseph Cheek – OL Seguin SR
*Storm Woods – RB Pflugerville SR
*Spencer Drango – OL Cedar Park SR
*Taylor Doyle – OL Lake Travis SR
*Jonathon Henderson – ATH Leander SR
*Brandon Wilkerson – WR LaGrange
*Michael Sorrels – RB McCallum SR
*Conner Floyd – WR Lake Travis SR
*Royce Asi – LB Killeen SR
*Rodney Lee – DB Del Valle SR
*Logan David – DT Rockdale SR
*P.L. Lindley – LB Stony Point SR
*Sam Wehmeyer – QB Anderson SR
*Alex Matlock – S Pflugerville SR
*Collin Middleton – DE/LB Cedar Park SR
*Sam Kelley – RB Stony Point SR
*Josh Ware – DB Thorndale SR
*Caleb Jones – WR Austin JR

Check back soon for further information. AP's earlier story is below.Regulators say they have closed a bank in North Carolina, bringing the number of U.S. bank failures to 11 this year.The Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. on Friday seized Pisgah Community Bank, based in Asheville, N.C.The lender, which operated a single branch, had roughly $21.9 million in assets and $21.2 million in deposits as of March 31.Capital Bank, N.A., based in Rockville, Md., agreed to assume the deposits and $19.8 million of the failed lender's assets.The FDIC says it will retain the remaining assets for later disposition.Pisgah Community Bank's failure is expected to cost the deposit insurance fund $8.9 million.The lender is the second FDIC-insured institution in North Carolina to fail this year.U.S. bank closures have been declining since they peaked in 2010 in the wake of the financial crisis and the Great Recession.In 2007 just three banks went under. That number jumped to 25 in 2008, after the financial meltdown, and ballooned to 140 in 2009.In 2010 regulators seized 157 banks, the most in any year since the savings and loan crisis two decades ago. The FDIC has said 2010 likely was the high-water mark for bank failures from the recession. They declined to a total of 92 in 2011.Last year bank failures slowed to 51, but that's still more than normal.In a strong economy an average of only four or five banks close each year. The sharply reduced pace of closings shows sustained improvement.From 2008 through 2011, bank failures cost the deposit insurance fund an estimated $88 billion, and the fund fell into the red in 2009. With failures slowing, the fund's balance turned positive in the second quarter of 2011.By Dec. 31 it stood at $32.9 billion, up from $25.2 billion at the end of September.The FDIC expects bank failures from 2012 through 2016 to cost $10 billion.

SUNRISE, Fla. – Henrik Zetterberg didn't wait long to make an impact in his first game back from injury.
Zetterberg scored a goal in the first period to lift the Detroit Red Wings over the Florida Panthers 4-3 on Saturday night.
Zetterberg returned after missing 11 games with a herniated disk in his back. Zetterberg leads the Wings with 31 points (12 goals, 19 assists).
It was nice after a little break here to come back and get a good start. We got two points and we won, Zetterberg said.
Gustav Nyquist, Brendan Smith and Daniel Alfredsson also scored for Detroit.
Jonas Gustavsson stopped 30 shots. Pavel Datsyuk had two assists.
The Red Wings were happy to have their leading scorer back.
It's huge. Hank brings so much to this team, both on and off the ice, Nyquist said. With him and Pav (Datsyuk) playing you can really feel the difference. That's why they're our leaders.
Sean Bergenheim scored two goals and Nick Bjugstad also scored for Florida. Scott Clemmensen made 27 saves for the Panthers.
The Red Wings have won three of four and beat the Panthers for the first time in three games this season.
We won three out of four here suddenly and some things are better, Red Wings coach Mike Babcock said.
Zetterberg's presence seemed to fire up the team.
It's not only all the goals and points he scores, it's the small things that helps everyone, Gustavsson said. It was great to see him back.
BLUES 6, BLACKHAWKS 5, SO: In St. Louis, Vladimir Tarasenko and Patrik Berglund scored 1:17 apart late in regulation to tie it and Kevin Shattenkirk netted the deciding goal in the fifth round of a shootout to help St. Louis go 3-0 against Chicago, which leads the NHL with 60 points.
Patrick Kane had a goal and assist in the Blackhawks' second three-goal first period in two nights and extended his point streak to 14 games.
SENATORS 4, BRUINS 3: In Ottawa, Bobby Ryan scored at 15:25 of the third period and Ottawa bounced back from a loss in Boston.
CANADIENS 2, LIGHTNING 1, SO: In St. Petersburg, Fla., Lars Eller scored the lone shootout goal, Carey Price stopped all three shots he faced in the tiebreaker, and Montreal ended Tampa Bay's five-game winning streak.
DEVILS 2, ISLANDERS 1: In Uniondale, N.Y., Cory Schneider stopped 30 shots, and Travis Zajac scored the go-ahead goal with 6:57 left when the puck went in off his face in New Jersey's win. Zajac was credited with his seventh goal when a shot by Marek Zidlicky struck him when he stood in front of the net.
DUCKS 3, COYOTES 2, OT: In Anaheim, Calif., Saku Koivu scored two goals, including the game-winner 51 seconds into overtime, to lift Anaheim to its 10th straight victory.
The Ducks are the only team in the NHL this season not to lose at home in regulation.
PREDATORS 3, KINGS 2: In Nashville, Tenn., Mike Fisher scored his second goal of the game with 26.4 seconds to win for Nashville, which snapped a five-game losing streak.

This is the first solo institutional exhibition of work by American artist Kay Rosen in Canada. Renowned for her textbased works, presented across a range of formats and scales, Rosen uses space and colour to assert the physical property of language and elaborate new meaning from familiar phrases, often with characteristic wry humour. For Rosen words are both subject and material; playing with their visual representations through meticulously considered typography, colour and layout, she employs puns, anagrams and vernacular phrases to create visual connections which examine the structures and mechanisms of language as well as our encounters with it. Before becoming a visual artist, Rosen studied comparative and applied linguistics, a background which continues to inform her thinking.
For this new commission, Rosen has created two new works including a large-scale intervention across the front of the building. CUTOUT is just that, a formal play on double meaning that quite literally describes the very action and construction of its making. Letters are reversely cut from sheets of coloured vinyl, using the black appearance of the window glass itself to define their form and enabling the cut out letters to become what they spell. Furthermore, Rosen makes a simple cut into one letter of a word to generate another. Deceptively straightforward, in this way the 'C' from 'cut' was once an 'O' that formed the word 'out.' Both emphasizing and tracing this action, dashed lines mark the area removed.
Rosen often renders something that was once invisible visible. For example, a simple colour change of the two last letters in ABCDEFGHI in the mural Hi (1998) exposes a pre-existent word within the systematic order of the first nine letters of the alphabet. This slight shift of emphasis has the potential to affect pronunciation, turning our usual listing of letters into ABCDEFG 'Hi.' Different versions of this work have also used the physical properties of a building to reveal the alphabet's potential to form words through minimal gesture; in this case by segregating 'H' and 'I' from the rest of the letters around an outside corner. Whereas the poetics in Rosen's work position it within the lineage of Concrete Poetry where linguistic signs form the structure of an object or picture to be perceived rather than a text to be read, her work is equally grounded within conceptual practice. Situated around the corner from CUTOUT, a second work reveals a different aspect of Rosen's practice. Visual presentation is not used to merely emphasize specific meaning, but to articulate formal gestures that unfold spatially over time. Where one piece is focused on 'rescuing words from meaning' the other uses language to generate strong imagery, making evident the social structures that determine its reading.
While a formal syntactical interpretation dominates much of the discourse surrounding Rosen's work, many pieces convey political comment. Duck in the Muck (aka Exxon Axxident) from 1989, has been remade in a new version for one of our picture windows. Originally a list of ten different spellings of 'Duck in the Muck' alternating with an equal number of misspelled 'Quacks', for the Contemporary Art Gallery, Rosen has reduced the text, added vibrant layers of colour, and uses the window frame as a means to divide the text into six component parts: one duck in the muck surrounded by variant quacks. Although the title references the Exxon Valdez crude oil spill off the coast of Alaska in 1989, Rosen has chosen the work for its topical relevance to this part of the world. As a vast and extensive system of oil pipelines stretching from Alberta across British Columbia and into the United States are being established, Rosen draws our attention to recent history, and an image of potential dangers to come.MORE
The Contemporary Art Gallery presents the first solo exhibition in Canada of work by the renowned British artist Mike Nelson. Comprising two significant new commissions, the exhibition includes an ambitious series of sculptures produced in partnership with The Power Plant in Toronto, and a new photographic work made in association with the Walter Phillips Gallery in Banff, its starting point family photographs taken between 1957 and 1972 by the distinguished Canadian
anthropologist Dr. Wilson Duff.
Nelson is best-known for his labyrinthine architectural installations that unfold as narrative structures, where the viewer moves through rooms like a reader turns pages in a novel. These immersive environments are often seemingly abandoned, devoid of figures, yet imagining the unseen occupants of these intricate spaces is central to the viewer's experience. For I, IMPOSTOR, Nelson's major work for the 54th Venice Biennale (2011), much of the elaborate space appeared vacated, with the exception of a small room where lines of drying black and white photographs hung from wires that crisscrossed the ceiling. These images documented a seventeenth century caravanserai, photographed within the very building that housed a previous installation by Nelson during the 2003 Istanbul Biennale. The darkrooms within the Venice piece were a reconstruction of those adapted 'found' spaces in the Eminönü district of Istanbul, the architecture within the British Pavilion a disjointed facsimile from memory and from the photographs of the caravanserai. Visualizing this ghostly photographer supposedly moving through the same space as the viewer, simultaneously suggested the architecture as narrative, but confused time and space; a shift of cities and decades shadowing personal and world histories. It presented a fractured and multi-layered narrative, a set of atmospheres that similarly inform Nelson's discrete sculptural works.
While his cultural references are broad, touching on particular moments in science-fiction, literature and the Beat era, much of Nelson's work can be linked through an archetypal figure of the lone wanderer. For the Contemporary Art Gallery, Nelson revisits ideas and forms first seen in The Amnesiacs, a serial project begun in 1996, which references a narrative involving an imaginary cast of characters — a group of 'outsiders' to the mainstream who uncannily resemble a disembodied late twentieth century biker gang, albeit without bikes. These quintessential outlaws of myth and literature, as depicted in the popular imagination of North America, are paralleled here with another favourite genre; that of the hunter or fur trader, exploring both groups' economic underpinning of these romantic façades, and the resulting conflicts involved in the expansion of territory.
In this new work it is as if a beachcomber has gathered material from the ocean, imagined by Nelson as a gigantic intelligent entity, much like that of Lem's planet 'Solaris', sifting the debris as a means to uncover truths about contemporary culture and our place within it. The roving characters, The Amnesiacs, have come together as interpreters, deciphering the collected material by creating assemblages akin to some form of disjointed memory or flashback, that when brought together may effect communication or reveal hidden meaning, the potential for a new and unified system of understanding. Nelson originally developed these thoughts after the unexpected death of his friend and collaborator, Erlend Williamson. In 1996 he had fallen to his death whilst climbing in the Scottish Highlands, at the time that Nelson was working on his first incarnation of what would become The Amnesiacs. Williamson, an artist and mountaineer whose family ancestry was of Orcadian descent, will contribute again; this time parts of his own narrative, and the very materials that surrounded him — those that remain present in his absence — will be woven into the fabric of the work.
Each of the new works is derived from the Canadian landscape: one is quite literally built with flotsam and jetsam collected off local shores, while the other re-imagines it. The second new piece is a sequence of projected 35mm slides produced during recent road trips across British Columbia and into Alberta, images that appear out of time. Collectively they trace another movement across the landscape as well as capture momentary pauses, underlining human interventions to the land. Nelson's interest in the photographic depiction of the Canadian landscape came through seeing a series of slides from Dr. Wilson Duff's family trips across the province, presented at the Museum of Anthropology in Vancouver. As an anthropologist Duff was dedicated to understanding North West Coast cultures, even such private holidays were spent viewing aboriginal festivals or visiting the workshops of totem pole carvers. These images resonated with Nelson as much as the objects in the museum, as a language to be unraveled. They were of a time and place, but already displaced. In relation to this, Nelson has made a work that talks about the land itself and the artistic traditions inherent within it, especially those borne out of North America in the twentieth century and their re-translation as part of a British oeuvre. Nelson unearths the possible re-reading of such activities as cultural imperialism within both strands of the movement — an accusation that could ultimately be reflected within the activities of the artist himself.
Mike Nelson is represented by 303 Gallery, New York; Galleria Franco Noero, Turin; Matt's Gallery, London; and neugerriemschneider, Berlin.

The Contemporary Art Gallery presents the first exhibition of work by Polish artist Monika Sosnowka in Canada. Best known for her ambitious architectural and sculptural installations which simultaneously embrace and resist the spaces they occupy, Sosnowska's exhibition obliquely references her hometown of Warsaw and the economic shift that has occurred since the collapse of communism in 1989 to the present day. Characteristically the artist's sculptures recall familiar objects transformed in some way – dysfunctional stairways that join one floor to the other but to no purpose or large-scale metal cubes and girder structures twisted and wedged into existing gallery spaces.
At the Contemporary Art Gallery we present a series of new painted steel sculptures, redolent of broken market vendor stands, referencing actual forms salvaged from Jarmark Europa Stadium, originally the site of a large market that sold everything from imitation Nike training shoes to pirated CDs and DVDs. The market opened with the onset of capitalism and ended last year when the stadium was destroyed to make way for a new national stadium that was built in time to host Euro 2012. Collectively these series of objects evoke a sense of architecture, yet through absence they poignantly suggest that as with all structures we inhabit or that give form to our daily routines, social space is subject to change over time.
This exhibition is presented in collaboration with the Southern Alberta Art Gallery, Lethbridge, which will exhibit the works from September 28 – November 24, 2013.
Sosnowska is represented by Galerie Gisela Capitain, Cologne; Hauser and Wirth, Zurich, London and New York; Kurimanzutto, Mexico City and The Modern Institute, Glasgow.MORE
The Contemporary Art Gallery presents the first solo exhibition in a public institution of work by Canadian artist Itee Pootoogook. A resident of Cape Dorset, Nunavut, he belongs to a generation of Inuit artists who are transforming and reshaping the creative traditions that were successfully pioneered by their parents and grandparents during the second half of the 20th century. In his large-scale graphite and coloured pencil drawings, Pootoogook shows us an image of modern northern life quite different from the one we are accustomed to seeing both historically and in much Inuit work. In this vast and often inhospitable region, instead of traditional subjects such as igloos and parka-clad hunters and their prey, we are shown an everyday world, one made up of recognizable contemporary accoutrements including snowmobiles, boats, soft drinks and television sets.MORE
A special version of a landscape drawing, Sky at Night by Itee Pootoogook is presented large-scale at Yaletown-Roundhouse Station, Canada Line, its physicality altering as light changes throughout the day, its imagery deliberately playing with and gaining meaning from the specificity of the site.
A resident of Cape Dorset, Nunavut, Pootoogook belongs to a generation of Inuit artists who are transforming and reshaping the creative traditions that were successfully pioneered by their parents and grandparents during the second half of the twentieth century. In his large-scale graphite and coloured pencil drawings, Pootoogook makes images of places, people and things, observed with prosaic intimacy. The solo exhibition Buildings and Land at the Contemporary Art Gallery, focuses not on works involving portraits of family and friends but on those images that picture the things which structure daily routine in this part of Canada — buildings, landscape and the means to travel to other parts of the country.
The project is presented in partnership with the Canada Line Public Art Program – IntransitBC.MORE
Erin Shirreff's solo exhibition at the Contemporary Art Gallery will be the first presentation dedicated exclusively to the artist's film and video work. It may seem a somewhat unexpected focus given Shirreff's definition of herself as a sculptor. And yet her investigation into the language and perception of materiality has less to do with the presentation of physical objects than specifically to that of our experience of forms – how sharing the same space with a 'thing' varies from looking at its representation.
Shirreff is known for reproducing sculpture as images or making sculpture that distils the essence of a photograph, playing these two elements against one another as a means to prompt and test the viewer's response. In Knives (2008) for example, she modeled a variety of knife-like forms from Plasticine, subsequently presenting them as a series of black and white photographs; her most recent sculptures made from ash and cement resemble photographs, their surfaces giving way to reveal themselves as planes an inch thick as we move around them.
Such preoccupation with the properties and potency of sculpture in relation to photographic reproduction grew out of Shirreff's consideration of the work of Tony Smith; New Piece from 1966 made from black painted steel, in particular held a fascination, so much so that she made a pilgrimage to see it in person. Her actual experience of the work however revealed an unexpected level of engagement, making her question the limitations of sculpture as well as her own abilities as a viewer. She comments, "It left me wondering whether the encounter, sharing the same material space as the object, was somehow more difficult, perhaps more intimidating, complicated, or somehow overwhelming, and that I didn't equal it. What was clear was that I wasn't able to let myself be as absorbed into the physical encounter as I was by the experience of the image. That remove offered by the reproduction opened up this contemplative space."
Each of the four works presented at the Contemporary Art Gallery focus on an image of a building, sculpture or landscape and seek to similarly evoke such a quality. Typically these silent videos are made from subtle combinations of stills or, in the case of Sculpture Park (Tony Smith), by the camera panning across a static object. The original images are further transformed by simple means such as the tracking of daylight across their surfaces, by modifications through colour alterations or other such analogue effects. Changes can also play with the illusion of three dimensions as the pieces unfold. Lake uses an image of Lake Okanagan in B.C. where Shirreff grew up and her family still lives, the picture taken from an early 1980s tourism magazine. For this work Shirreff re-photographed the original image many times sequencing these as a series of stills, deploying subtle shifts in colour and light to alter the original hand-painted quality.
These nuanced adjustments appear in all of Shirreff's videos. Some modifications highlight the qualities of the original photograph, revealing dust on its surface or illuminating the glossy quality of the paper, reinforcing its status as object. In drawing attention to the material properties of the initial image used, Shirreff builds a tension between the subject and the formal values of its representation. Whether it is a photograph of a Medardo Rosso sculpture from 1896 or the United Nations Building in New York, the thing or scene being represented is no longer the point of focus. Shirreff challenges our understanding of the nature of images themselves, their intrinsic qualities and our encounter with them.
The exhibition is presented in collaboration with Carleton University Art Gallery, Ottawa and Agnes Etherington Art Centre, Kingston, collectively marking the first comprehensive exhibition of Shirreff's work in Canada. Each venue presents unique exhibitions, drawing out varied strands in her rich body of work, and have come together to produce her first monograph. The publication features essays by Sandra Dyck and Jan Allen and an interview with the artist by Jenifer Papararo.MORE
