Presented in conjunction with the sixth annual Exposure 2010: Calgary-Banff Photography Festival, TRUCK Contemporary Art In Calgary will mount a two-person exhibition featuring both still and moving images.
 
Informed by her experiences with the French language, Stephanie Anne Clark explores the semiotic relationship between the linguistic notion of grammatical gender and the symbols of French history through her photographic studies of Paris.

Jan Peacock’s video work performs a particular form of scrutiny of place, stepping away from immediate events in order to tease out the sometimes obtuse and often contradictory aims and methods of the ‘authorized search’.
