Resonant Dialogues: 25 years of the Second Story Art Society in Calgary

In 2008, TRUCK Contemporary Art celebrated its 25th anniversary, and to commemorate this milestone, produced a boxed set publication featuring twenty-five writers, elucidating the first twenty-five years of the gallery’s existence: Renato Vitic, Patti Dawkins, Chuck Hughes, David Clark, Grant Poier, Mark Dicey, Cynthia Ward, Carol Beecher, Sarah Adams-Bacon, Katherine Ylitalo, Cheryl L’Hirondelle, Marc Hutchinson, Amy Gogarty, Christine Sowiak, Paul Robert, Jeff Derksen, Tanya Rusnak, Lissa Robinson, Jim Ellis, Brett Snyder, Linda Carreiro, Ed Chan, Kay Burns, Holly Simon, Keith Murray, Scott Rogers, and Erin Belanger. These volumes are comprised of reminiscences, anecdotes, critical texts, poems, and interviews, with each writer bringing a personal perspective on a particular exhibition or exhibiting artist. Celebrating and exploring the work of both local and international artists such as Brian Jungan, John Will, David Hoffos, Jeff Viner, Terrance Houle, Robyn Arsenault, Wednesday Lupypciw, Anthea Black, Nicole Burisch, Bart Habermiller, Martin Bennet, Mirelle Perron, and many more, Resonant Dialogues forms an important archive tracing the cultural development of contemporary art in Calgary.
