Christopher Savage’s work, along with three other artists, is currently on exhibition in the Window Galleries at Arts Commons, and available now for online 3D tours. The design surrounding Savage’s artwork is logical and intuitive, wanting to draw the viewer in and help them look closer at the network of lines and gestural strokes spanning across his work. But how does such intention translate when the Window Galleries—where Savage along with many other RBC Emerging Visual Artists are showing—are closed to the public? Technology steps in.

In June 2020 we caught up with artistic duo NASARIMBA, the muralists who’ve been making their mark all throughout Calgary. Since then, Rachel Ziriada and Mikhail Miller have been busy developing their practice and finding new ways to create and interact with their audience, including collaborating with Edmonton-based artist Jill Stanton last summer for the Beltline Urban Murals Project (BUMP) festival and taking part in the RBC Emerging Visual Artists Program. Originally scheduled to work in the Ledge Gallery at Arts Commons, they’ve alternatively migrated their work to a home studio in order to adapt to current restrictions. Needless to say, a pandemic has not meant stagnation in their work.
