Open to KALS members   

Join us at the Kamloops Art Gallery for an interactive guided tour of Casey Koyczan’s exhibition, dream ; nàte, led by KAG Interim Executive Director Emily Hope.

Casey Koyczan has returned to Kamloops to develop a new project as artist-in-residence in The Cube from January 10 to January 18. As part of his creative process, Koyczan has pieced together imagery and narratives from a dream that brought him to Kamloops from Yellowknife, Northwest Territories

Koyczan has reconstructed and immersed himself into the meaning of this seminal dream by revisiting sites in Kamloops that appeared to him. With the help of LiDAR scanning and 3D models, Koyczan has created a projected landscape exploring his connection to the Kamloops region.

dream ; nàte is an interpretation of Koyczan’s dream that takes him through the halls of the university, recalls people that influenced him and activities and places that occupied him both within and outside his studies. While some places are familiar, fantastical elements blend with real world counterparts to create a digital dreamworld. The work reflects on the ways in which past memories have taken on new meaning, while other elements continue to be contemplated, suggesting a future yet to be realized.

This program is offered in collaboration with the Kamloops Adult Learners’ Society (KALS). You must be a member of KALS to participate.

Registration is available online at kals.ca/registration/.
