Are you feeling a little curious this weekend?

 In addition to Love And Records, the Lethbridge Fringe Festival and the Lethbridge Folk club’s opening season, Bekk Wells’ new exhibit “… and You’ll Never Believe What they Saw!!!” opens at Casa, Sept. 17.

 Wells, who had an exhibit at the Bowman  Arts Centre  in September 2010 posing the question why stuffed animals are portrayed they way they are, asks a few other interesting questions in his latest exhibit which consists of  a few unrelated installations.

“This one is six  complete circulatory systems all interwoven. You can actually see the shape of the bodies,” Wells said, indicating what looks like an intricate web of red wires and hearts hanging from the ceiling in the middle of the Casa gallery.

“And these are actually wings.They actually work. I’m using them in a short film I’m doing,” he continued, indicating what looks like a gigantic white moth dominating the east wall of the Casa gallery.

 

“ People have always been curious about how things work. They do short experiments to see what works and tinker  with things until they do. People enjoy investigating and seeing what’s behind,” he said.

 The other massive installation is an interactive cave, which patrons can crawl through and see what’s inside.

“But I don’t want to spoil the surprise of what’s in there,” he added.
“ It’s like those links  you always see online which say  ‘You Won’t Believe What Happens.’ You can’t  resist clicking on it,” he said.
 The opening reception is 7-9 p.m., Sept. 17. The exhibit “… and You’ll Never Believe What they Saw!!!” runs until Oct. 26 at Casa.
