THIS WEEK AT THE EMERSON

SALOMON'S QUALITY SKI TIME FILM TOUR

Ski movies will forever be a part of ski culture. Nothing else can match the community and excitement created by watching films with friends. So, why would you settle for just one film?
 Get stoked for winter with us by watching several films, each showcasing different stories, athletes and types of skiing.


FILM LINEUP

  • Blank Patterns – An authentic, honest, and beautiful portrait of Jacob Belanger, Ugo Troubat, and Emma Patterson, whose unique style and vision are helping shape the future of modern freeskiing. Featuring: Jacob Belanger, Ugo Troubat, Emma Patterson and Alexi Godbout as guest.
  • Places – Places explores ski destinations as living environments, shaped by climate, geology and time. This documentary reveals why skiing exists here and not elsewhere, making the place itself the origin of everything. Featuring: Cole Richardon, Jacob Belanger and Etienne Geoffroy-Gagnon.
  • Almost Alone in the Alps – A journey across the French and Italian Alps to reach the Mediterranean’s only port belonging to Savoy. Featuring: Fabien Maierhofer, Jérémy Prevost and Xavier Caihol.
  • All-Electronic-Transmission – In the spirit of freestyle skiing’s golden era, the DEPART team offers a film where post-freestyle action meets art. Featuring: Sami Ortlieb and friends.

HOLIDAY NOIR

It’s the kind of deliciously decadent, festive indulgence one simply must experience firsthand... and we highly recommend securing a good seat early.

CURRENT EXHIBITS

The ReCollection

BY JEREMY HATCH

The ReCollection

Jeremy Hatch

Jessie Wilber Gallery


About the work

This exhibition represents a selection of the work completed during a 2025/26 sabbatical from my position teaching ceramics at the MSU School of Art. In addition to conducting research at important European centers of porcelain production, including Sèvres in France, and Meissen in Germany, I spent time engaged with building “The ReCollection”, an expansive project to recast my childhood toy collection in porcelain.

 

In the 1980’s, television advertising was deregulated to allow marketing directly to children, resulting in a wave of new cartoons and a ‘golden era’ of action-figures that corresponded with my upbringing. (He-Man, WWF, Star Wars and many more) I’m curious how this phenomenon affected my generation, and I have been exploring these consequences in my studio. By remaking the hyper-masculine and often violent characters in a delicate, precious material such as porcelain I want to alter and complicate the viewer’s interpretation of the subject.

 

Recently, the project has expanded to include remixing 18th Century decorative arts objects with action-figures resulting in a peculiar fictional souvenir. I have become particularly interested in connections to historical European traditions of porcelain figurines; how they functioned in culture and what they represented. The action-figure/figurine mashup contains several creative strategies and approaches common within contemporary visual art, including ideas of copying, appropriation, recombination and recontextualization in order to arrive at something new. This series also investigates notions of memory and nostalgia, branding, collector culture, and consumerism.

Erratic Journey

BY LEAH CUPINO

Erratic Journey

Leah Cupino

Weaver Room Gallery, and Galleria Hall Popup Gallery


Cupino’s Erratic Journey follows the unbelievable miles-long migration of boulders torn from mountainsides by glacial migration during our home planet’s transition into a new age. 

In moving picture, silk, fibers, and paint, she calls us to commemorate loss, embrace greater timelines of transformation, and encourages us to celebrate the immortality of our shared spirit. 


Erratic /Ə’radik/

1. noun: a rock that travels great distances over time, by glacier or other natural forces

2. adj; unpredictable

3. root Latin: errāre: to wander

 

In paintings and film, I join themes of displacement with transformation and remain curious about what it means to simply be a part of this earth. 

The materials and color I use in my work ask us to evaluate the worn-down trails of accepted facts to a deeper evaluation of purpose. I embrace with giddiness the idea that defied expectations can be a gift to all. 

Unmistakably Western

BY HAZER

Unmistakably Western

Hazer

Lobby Gallery


Unmistakably Western is a show about larger-than-life cowgirls, all hat, boots, style, and attitude. I start with my studio photographs, then use paint to push the images even further. In select works, I incorporate my Montana street photographs into the background, placing cowboys and hippies side by side on the same piece of art. It’s unmistakably Western, but it's far from traditional.  

GALLERIA HALL
