Illingworth Kerr Gallery

Illingworth Kerr Gallery The IKG is a nationally recognized exhibition space and cultural institution, showing the work of international artists and designers year round.

A vital part of AUArts, the Illingworth Kerr Gallery (IKG) provides a platform for curated exhibitions and other forms of cultural research production, with a focus on contemporary visual culture. The Illingworth Kerr Gallery (IKG) is a world-class exhibition space and flexible platform for critical enquiry and theoretical debate with a focus on visual culture. Work shown first at the IKG has gone

on to the Venice Biennale and the MOMA in New York. With such an internationally renowned gallery right on campus, ACAD students experience some of the most exciting art in the world. The IKG has exhibited contemporary visual art for over 50 years, and is the longest-running international art program in Calgary. The yearly programme of exhibitions is accompanied by a varied and tailor-made offering of public events. These include workshops, artist talks, conferences and symposia, screenings, mentorship and internships and live performances. As part of ACAD, the IKG fosters a vibrant culture of art and design in Alberta by providing context for viewing and discussion of new and recent works in all media. The IKG is comprised of two connected galleries measuring a total of 4,000 square feet, situated in the heart of the campus.

This exhibition was part of a continuing series of exhibitions that showcased the diversity of work being produced by AUArtโ€™s creative community. This exhibition gave students a glimpse of the issues their instructors were currently exploring in their own practices. A broad cross-section of activity was represented, including illustration, sculpture, graphic design, advertising, photography, ceramics, fibre, glass, print media, media art, digital technology, painting, and drawing ๐Ÿ–ผ๏ธโœ๏ธ๐Ÿ–ฅ๏ธ๐ŸŽฅ

I came to AUArts just four months after the amputation of my left foot liberated me from the intense pain of Complex Regional Pain Syndrome. Celebrating my return to glass, to mobility, to life, this body of work explores the highs and lows, my rediscovery of the nonlinearity of time where PTSD and pain alter perception, a kind of personal archeology as I unearthed memories and truths about my embodied experience, and my understandingthat my triumph is not an overcoming of disability but in claiming the creative potential generated by a lifetime in my non-normative body.

This body of work investigates whether the sense of home and belonging is attached to domestic objects and the technologies surrounding them. With or without the originals present, I create digital translations of bedrooms and the objects inside, drawn from different stages of my life.

Working across digital crafting and handcraft practices, with media such as the browser, fibre and enamelled metal, these digital โ€œtranslationsโ€ reveal a unique existence, suggest their own right to be respected as objects, and offer an alternative, yet no less real, sense of home.

Rooted in my lived experience of growing up in China during the transition from the planned economy to the market era, the project weaves personal memory with collective history. Through autoethnography, research-creation, and practice-based methods, I work across weaving, sculpture, and painting to examine boundaries, comfort, and bodily perception. These works ask how identity is formed, negotiated, and protected within the social structures, spatial systems, and relationships that shape everyday life and memory today.

Growing up amid uncertainty and displacement, I frame hope not as passive optimism but as an active, evolving practice forged through resistance and perseverance. This exhibition draws on Rumiโ€™s poetry and philosophy, where opposing forces coexist and give meaning to one another. Through this lens, my works explore darkness as a generative space where light emerges and transformation unfolds. Resilience becomes the ground from which hope is continually renewed.

My work begins in echo: in the bodyโ€™s sense of what is missing, doubled, or still lingering. Through ceramics, sound, installation, and digital image-making, I build spaces where forms seem to listen, where surfaces reflect imperfectly, and where objects hold traces of dependency, distance, and touch. Parabolic ears, suspended elements, and resonant vessels become quiet companions in a field of relation. I return to unwholeness not as lack, but as a way of knowing and being with others. These works invite viewers to lean closer, to linger in uncertainty, and to feel how recognition emerges through atmosphere, misalignment, and shared presence.

Ling Ho is a Taiwanese artist based in Canada. Her practice explores communication beyond language through clay, sound, and movement.

Working with clay trimmings and fragments, she treats these materials as traces of gesture, time, and interaction rather than waste. Through collecting, firing, and reassembling, her process becomes a form of speaking, recording, and rewriting.

Her work reflects on the limits of language and the potential of pre-linguistic experience, creating installations that invite embodied forms of communication.

๐˜›๐˜ฐ๐˜ถ๐˜ค๐˜ฉ๐˜ช๐˜ฏ๐˜จ ๐˜ˆ๐˜ฃ๐˜ด๐˜ฆ๐˜ฏ๐˜ค๐˜ฆ examines how memory, loss, and orientation can be materialized through fibre and jewellery practices. Through weaving, metalwork, and installation, it translates photographic fragments, shifting woven structures, and forms that hold and release breath into tactile objects and environments. Drawing on phenomenology and memory studies, particularly the work of Maurice Merleau-Ponty, Astrid Erll, Sara Ahmed, and Roland Barthes, the project proposes embodied craft as a method of reorientation after loss, allowing absence to emerge as a quiet but enduring presence.

Please also join us in supporting the MFA cohort as they get ready for their thesis defences. View ๐Œ๐จ๐ง๐ข๐ค๐š ๐”๐ซ๐›๐š๐ง๐ข๐š๐คโ€™s defence this Thursday, April 9, before the opening at, 2:00p.m. MFA Defences will be held in RM300E.
