Farewell // Good Riddance is a lens-based project using video, audio, video stills, and structural installation to explore the decline and eventual closure of Eau Claire Market in Calgary, AB, in the Spring of 2024. The images, video and audio investigate the complicated emotions and memories surrounding the difficult questions of what we are losing and gaining as a community with the demolition of Eau Claire Market. In addition, the use of reclaimed theatre seats from the failed Cineplex at Eau Claire provides a physical touchstone to activate memory and interrogate ways of viewing, spectating, and engaging. This project was completed in the days and weeks before the mall’s closure using a VHS camera to evoke the period in which the mall was built. The project is informed by both my own memories of the mall and the memories of other artists who also documented the mall with me. This work will be shown as part of a group show in the Spring of 2025 at The New Gallery in Calgary, Alberta.
