Bungalow Blitz
August 28 - October 31, 2004
Bungalow Blitz examines how, and to what extent, public knowledge and understanding of architecture is shaped by the ways in which it is represented through photography, exhibitions and drawing. The project also explores how the architectural and heritage industries deal with planning and design for human settlements in areas of outstanding natural beauty.

Forest Walk
July 10 – August 15, 2004
Cardiff and Miller’s Forest Walk leads participants on a sixteen-minute audio-guided tour through a forest at The Banff Centre. Recorded with binaural sound, the audio captures the sound of the artist's voice, and of her body moving through the forest. The voice gives directions, while pointing out flowers, trees and people passing, sometimes telling stories and thoughts. The use of binaural sound creates the sense that you've entered the artist's intimate space. It blurs the lines between the listener's real time with the events described on the recording creating an exciting yet disorienting experience.

Giddy-Up
June 5 - August 15, 2004
In Giddy-Up!, Andrew Hunter tells the story of a young boy, Andy, from Southern Ontario who yearns to visit Banff, to ride the trails, sleep under the stars, and be a "real" cowboy.

A Question of Place
April 3 - May 23, 2004
Works created by Jimmie Durham, Faye HeavyShield, Brian Jungen, Zacharias Kunuk, Cheryl L'Hirondelle and Truman Lowe, artists whose sculptures, drawings and images tell similar stories of impermanence, resistance and cultural change.

Roy Kiyooka: Accidental Tourist
January 17 - March 21, 2004
This exhibition examines a large but lesser known period of Roy Kiyooka’s art practice from 1969 until his death in 1994. An artist and poet, he established himself in the 1950s and 60s as an important abstract painter. In an effort to reject art critic Clement Greenberg’s theories on Modernism and the institutions of art – with which he and his compatriots of the Regina Five were closely associated – Kiyooka abandoned a successful painting practice in favour of a more diversified approach to his work, embracing a multitude of new forms and media.
