The snow is gone, the outdoor grilling season is here and TRUCK Contemporary Art in Calgary is serving up some artful videos based on accumulating, consuming, and preparing tummy tickling patio provisions.

Have some fun under the sun and take advantage of the outdoor grills in Stanley Park. We encourage you to BYOBBQ and have a picnic with us whilst watching some great films. (Films will start around 10:00PM)

Films by: Alex Moon, Csaba Varga, and Jennifer Wanner. Total Running Time: 68 minutes 

CAMPER initially started out hosting the popular Patch Project. After three successful years, CAMPER was reinvented as a project-based residency program that offered artists the unique opportunity for artistic exploration and public engagement.

Currently CAMPER is hosting an outdoor screening series called Dumbfounded by Nature with the Walter Phillips Gallery in Banff, another year of Bike-in Cinema! & a unique version of Strange Relations in Lethbridge with the SAAG.

Bike-in Cinema is an outdoor screening series hosted by TRUCK Gallery’s CAMPER (Contemporary Art Mobile Public Exhibition Rig) presented in partnership with some of Calgary’s finest film, production and new media organizations.Using the CAMPER as a site for projection, Bike-in Cinema is a collaborative celebration of film, animation and media that encourages exploration of Calgary’s urban environment. Set in the various locations of the Calgary outdoors, Bike-in Cinema invites all to cycle towards the CAMPER for a night full of animation and film!

Strange Relations is an innovative program featuring a series of bilateral lectures on unrelated topics. Part intellectual battle royal & part anti-symposium, Strange Relations invites experts from different fields to speak about what they know best. Following the lectures, a participatory discussion will take place where audience members are tasked with finding connections between the two subjects through the questions they ask.

CAMPER (Contemporary Art Mobile Public Exhibition Rig) is a 1975 Dodge Empress motor-home, modified to become a portable public exhibition and project space. CAMPER’s mandate is to investigate the places where art, the road, education, and recreation meet, and to explore these intersections in an inclusive, participation-oriented manner that fosters public engagement and appreciation of contemporary art practices.
