https://dannyluong.ca/

Here is the Forward to this exhibition, written by Louis Villanueva:

Unskilled and Illegal

Have you broken the law? If so, did you feel shame—or necessity?

Economists like to divide employment into skilled and unskilled labour. Danny Luong’s exhibition highlights another division: one between legal and illegal work. What does it mean to be an illegal unskilled labourer? To the capitalist, it sounds like you’re illiterate, clumsy, and inexperienced. It means you deserve the constant presence of anxiety and less than a living wage. Your existence is called into question. You barely deserve to live.

Made in unregistered cannabis and psilocybin farms, Luong’s work reflects a personal journey fostered by close friendships and art. Luong, a worker and witness, had the explicit permission to document the operation during his shifts. These photographs of anonymous workers and makeshift operations, reveal an ingenuity and imagination in using limited resources toward a life worth living.

The vapour barrier in the gallery was installed by members of this community, bringing a private production space into one of leisure. A voyeuristic shock to some, the project is less an underworld to them than as everyday as a construction site.

What if skill isn’t about certification, but survival? What if ingenuity thrives where legitimacy is denied? Trying to normalize something illegal feels impossible, but Luong’s labour as an artist effectively contextualizes a very human and very skilled need to make ends meet.

Loose Moose is cofounded by Keith Johnston, who is legendary among the improv community not only in Calgary, but throughout the world. Born in England in 1933, he moved first to Ontario before settling here in Calgary, Alberta, to teach at the University of Calgary before retiring in 1995. He’s known for creating not only Loose Moose, but also for creating theatresports, which is a form of competitive improv where two teams compete against each other and either the audience or a group of judges “rate” the performances.
