Preston Pavlis, solo exhibition at Contemporary Calgary

Posted on by Bradley Ertaskiran

Bradley Ertaskiran is pleased to highlight Preston Pavlis’s solo exhibition, You there, on view at Contemporary Calgary from September 25, 2025 to February 15, 2026. Curated by Kanika Anand, Senior Curator at Contemporary Calgary, the presentation marks Pavlis’s first major institutional solo exhibition.

You there features a new body of work continuing Pavlis’ fusion of painting and textiles. Painted on one side and quilted on the other, Pavlis’s painted compositions are richly textured, while the quilted side is stitched from worn pieces of clothing, each bearing traces of touch and use. Pavlis’ subjects are drawn from the artist’s home in Halifax, where moments of quiet abandonment surface in both the ordinary and the unexpected.

Dawit L. Petros, solo exhibition at Remai Modern and the University of Saskatchewan, College Art Galleries

From the Edge of the Horizon, a major solo exhibition by Dawit L. Petros, will be presented in two parts at the Remai Modern and the University of Saskatchewan, College Art Galleries. This exhibition traces the arc of Petros’ career, gathering works that chart his longstanding inquiry into geography, identity, and migration.

The exhibition’s title refers to a recurring motif in his work: the horizon line, which, for Petros, is not just a visual or geographic marker of perspective, but a site where colonial and contemporary histories of displacement intersect and co-mingle. Drawing connections between local geographies and global histories, the works in the exhibition invite viewers to consider how we see and interpret real and imagined borders, and how those borders shape both individual and collective identities. They also prompt reflection on the act of looking itself—asking us to consider how framing, distance, and point of view affect what we understand about place, history, and belonging.
