Upcoming events at Glacier Art Museum

New video exhibitions at Kalispell museum

Landscapes Reimagined features two video installation works from artists Rachel Rose and Rick Silva.

The video installations are on loan from Art Bridges. The museum features 15 works from the Hockaday Museum of Art’s permanent collection including: Freeman Butts, Russell Chatham, King Kuka, Sheila Mieles, Neil Parsons, Theodore Waddell and others. 

Rose’s multi-media, room-size video installation, Lake Valley, is an enchanting, visually rich animated storybook video, with themes and imagery from classic children’s literature, such as forest landscapes and woodland creatures. Rose creates a dreamlike story about central themes of childhood stories: imagination, loneliness, and longing for personal connection. Through dense collage and cel animation techniques, the artist combines illustrated layers of fantasy and imaginative detail for all ages.

Silva’s video installation, Western Fronts: Cascade Siskiyou, Gold Butte, Grand Staircase-Escalante, and Bears Ears (2018), explores themes of technology, ecology, and climate change.

Silva's contemporary video work reflects the political and ecological threats to four U.S. National Monuments, combining aerial drone footage and photogrammetry (the process of capturing images and stitching them together to create a digital model) with 3D animation to create a dystopic nature documentary.

Selected works from the Hockaday's permanent collection feature contemporary interpretations and explorations of traditional landscape painting through new media, impressionistic styles, ecological and abstracted line and form.
