Norberg Hall

Norberg Hall Norberg Hall is a commercial gallery in Calgary with a focus on contemporary Canadian art; featuring prominent emerging, mid-career & established artists.

Jarvis Hall and Shannon Norberg are proud to reveal the renaming of Jarvis Hall Gallery to Norberg Hall. As partners in business as well as in life, this name merger was a natural progression for the galleryโ€™s identity and for their shared artistic vision. Ahead of this shift, the overarching principles of the gallery remain the same. From the galleryโ€™s inception in 2010, founded by Jarvis Hall, a

nd continuing over the past decade alongside Norberg, they have re-envisioned the possibilities of what commercial contemporary art galleries can be for artists, collectors and the vibrant Canadian arts community they value. Their desire for a strong visual culture and passion for gender equity has played an integral part in the shaping of the Norberg Hall and its programming. Throughout the years, Norberg Hall has actively supported the practices of emerging, mid-career and established artists to foster a deeper understanding of their creative processes, while providing a platform and space to share these critical dialogs. Working alongside artists, curators, museums, institutions, corporate and private collectors, they have proudly helped place work in prominent collections and institutions across the country. Through active representation, ongoing exhibitions, international art fairs, studio tours, and community liaisons, Norberg Hall will continue to champion Canadian art in Alberta and beyond. Norberg Hall is a member of the Art Dealers Association of Canada and the Canadian Museum Association.

๐˜š๐˜ฐ๐˜ฐ๐˜ต๐˜ฉ๐˜š๐˜ข๐˜บ๐˜ฆ๐˜ณ๐˜ด is a collaborative project by artists Lindsay Montgomery and Yvonne Mullock that merges ceramics, drawings, ritual, voice, performance into a participatory experience open to all.โฃ
โฃ
Incubated during a month-long residency in November 2025 at Medalta, a historic industrial ceramics complex in Medicine Hat, ๐˜š๐˜ฐ๐˜ฐ๐˜ต๐˜ฉ๐˜š๐˜ข๐˜บ๐˜ฆ๐˜ณ๐˜ด draws inspiration from historic parting rituals in which songs, camaraderie, and a final drink were shared amongst departing guests.โฃ
โฃ
Reimagined as an improvised feminist ritual, ๐˜š๐˜ฐ๐˜ฐ๐˜ต๐˜ฉ๐˜š๐˜ข๐˜บ๐˜ฆ๐˜ณ๐˜ด takes the form of a ceremonial tea-drinking and cake-eating performance using handmade ceramic vessels, spoken word and costumes. โฃ
โฃ
Through these acts, ๐˜š๐˜ฐ๐˜ฐ๐˜ต๐˜ฉ๐˜š๐˜ข๐˜บ๐˜ฆ๐˜ณ๐˜ด reinterprets historical ritual practices through a feminist lens, transforming drinking from a site of excess into one of agency, communion, and shared authorship.โฃ
โฃ
At its heart ๐˜š๐˜ฐ๐˜ฐ๐˜ต๐˜ฉ๐˜š๐˜ข๐˜บ๐˜ฆ๐˜ณ๐˜ด is a celebration of the creative community, an offering that recognizes the value of gathering, collaboration, and the act of making meaning together. Through symbolic gestures, shared consumption, and collective voice, the work draws on ritual as a way to reconnect participants with an embodied, communal experience.โฃ

This series consists of five sculptures representing different vehicles that my family owned during my childhood: a gray Volkswagen Jetta, a white Buick Century, a blue Toyota RAV4, a burgundy Ram 1500 and a white Ram 1500. These vehicles evoke many memories, which is why I wanted to pay tribute to them and represent them in soapstone, also called steatite, an emblematic material of Inuit art.โฃ โฃ
โฃ
The smaller 4 carvings are inspired by Hot Wheels, objects of desire and nostalgia from mine and many others childhood. The title of these carvings, Hut Wheels, references the accent found in Inuvialuktun speakers; certain vowels found in English are not present in Sallirmiutun, our dialect of Inuvialuktun, so hot sounds more like hut.โฃ
โฃ
Trucks are a necessity in northern communities, despite the maintenance costs which are often double as expensive as prices in the south. In my motherโ€™s community of Tuktoyaktuk, she noted that there is roughly 80% truck ownership, and this figure is common for other communities such as Inuvik and Aklavik. In these regions of the Northwest Territories, distances are vast and climatic conditions demanding, the truck is not simply a means of transportation: it is a tool for survival, an extension of home, a constant presence in daily life.

It is with profound sadness that we share the passing of a dear friend and rare artist, John Will, who died peacefully on July 15, 2026, at the age of 87 years young.

A commentator, chronicler, prognosticator, inventor, appropriator, comic, straight-man, prankster, jester, punster, gangster, and the original hipster. John delighted in resisting definition. He was one of Albertaโ€™s most influential artists, a beloved professor at the University of Calgary for more than 25 years, and a mentor whose generosity shaped generations of artists. His work, which is held in major public and private collections across North America, leaves a lasting contribution to Canadian contemporary art and has reshaped how we think of art in Alberta.

The AGA is proud to have worked closely with John over the last few years to organize our current exhibition, John Will: Born in the U.F.O. (Some Truth, More Lies, All Legend). The exhibition is a fitting tribute to an artist whose work continually reminds us that the world is stranger, funnier, and more complicated than it first appears. We know that Johnโ€™s vision of this world โ€“ with all of its contradictions, conceits and comedy - is embedded in the deep legacy of art that he created and has left for us.

The AGA extends our most sincere condolences to Johnโ€™s family and his extensive group of friends and admirers. A full obituary, and details of a celebration of John Willโ€™s life will be shared in the coming days.
