Date: August 5 - September 29, 2017
Location: Stride Gallery, 1006 MacLeod Tr SE

Closing reception will be held on September 28, 2017 @ 6-7pm at the Stride +15 Space at the Arts Commons (205 8 Ave SE, Calgary AB). Refreshments to follow at the Palomino (109 7 Ave SW, Calgary, AB).

BAD MOMENTS - FOREVER is the final instalment in a series of works under the moniker of bad moments. bad moments is the result of several year of studio-based research and consists of seven separate installations, each utilizing the same materials in different configurations. Crumbling relationships, the loss and redefining of identity, and the toxicity of the heroicized romantic self-image are closely examined through a heavily nostalgic slow dance at your high school prom.

CONRAD MARION is a Calgary-based artist currently working towards his BFA at the Alberta College of Art and Design. His work deals primarily with the aftershocks of failed relationships viewed through a heavy filter of saccharine nostalgia.
