This month saw the installation of A World Closely Observed: The Photography of Courtney Milne, our most recent Link area display featuring a variety of artwork by famed Saskatchewan photographer Courtney Milne, as well as personal and family ephemera. Hats off to Cheryl Avery for pulling this one together. This colorful show will continue into the winter months, and I’d encourage anyone needing a break from dreary weather to wander down to the first floor to take a look at these vivid, inspiring images. 

Because Milne’s materials are so visually stunning, we are also hoping to release something of a catalog to go with the exhibition. Writing is underway, and I look forward to seeing the finished product.

While it might not look like much right now, this stand will provide an interactive element to the Link exhibitions, as it is intended to support an ipad which can display anything from slideshows to web pages to virtual guest books and–well, pretty much anything you can get or build an app for. We are very excited to have the opportunity to work with this new technology in the Link, and are hoping to have something implemented for the Milne show as well.

I hope to have more to share with you in the coming month, but for now, here is an interesting item I came across while sifting through materials for our Medical segment:
