About Howl in the Grass

Howl in the Grass is a group exhibition alluding to the mystery and aliveness of land and sky in the prairies. As any howl is a method of attracting attention, connecting with others, and

announcing a presence – this exhibition invites viewers to listen, to feel, and to connect with the diverse calls of the land along the Great Plains in Alberta and beyond.

What is now commonly described as “the prairies” is far from a monolithic landscape. Just as we cannot blanket the Great Plains under one category of ecology (the region is host to a dynamic

relationship of grasslands, boreal forests, foothills, and badlands—each shaped by distinct

histories, ecosystems, and ways of life), the artworks in the exhibition are similarly varied, sharing a depth of emotive qualities and stories with us.

Howl in the Grass beckons viewers to imagine standing at the edge of an expansive rural

landscape, taking account of each visceral call and feeling; perhaps listening to prairie winds

howling across the horizon, watching the roll and tumble of a disembarked tangle of weeds, or searching for a coyote whose calls echo slyly through the land’s tall, soft, and swaying grasses.

This exhibition was curated by Ash Slemming, and features work from the Alberta Foundation for the Arts Permanent Collection. It is being circulated by TREX Southwest through the Alberta Society of Artists.
