Public Opening for Natural History and Perth Huron Exhibition. June 13, 2010 — September 26, 2010
| Description | On view June 13 to September 26, 2010 Public Opening: Sunday June 13, 2-4 pm NATURAL HISTORY Mircea Cantor, Trevor Gould, Joshua Jensen-Nagle, Crystal Mowry, and Volker Seding Guest Curator: Jennifer Rudder NATURAL HISTORY presents works of contemporary art that revisit the history of the development of museums and zoos, and anthropological displays. Inspired by the theatrical scope of the dioramas and monumental animal displays, each artwork evokes a moment in the complex history of the captivity, collection and display. Trevor Gould's artworks take up the history of colonial pillage of animals through the work and practice of a past generation of artists and curators. Through layers of photographic manipulation, artist Joshua Jensen-Nagle succeeds in finding the life in a taxidermy polar bear, capturing one of the world's largest beasts at a time when the species is threatened by extinction. Crystal Mowry's critical examination of one life implicated in the racism at the base of the anthropological display is crucial to our understanding of that past. Volker Seding's rigorous photographic documentation haunts the exhibition with the abjection that was until recently, the zoo. Mircea Cantor's video confronts us with the separation over time of human from mammal and presents us with the possibility of imagining a renewed coexistence. The exhibition is produced by the University of Toronto. PERTH HURON EXHIBITION Sponsored by Insurance Central Limited Juror: Mary Misner, Director of the Cambridge Galleries The exhibition celebrates the talents of emerging and established artists working in all media. Juried by a different curator or gallery administrator each year, the exhibition is rich in content and techniques currently explored by regional artists. The PERTH HURON EXHIBITION has been part of the Gallery’s program for over 30 years, and is part of the Gallery’s mandate to support the production and presentation of area artists.

Random Acts of Art. July 7, 2010 — September 3, 2010
| Description | We often think of random as something without purpose or aesthetic appeal. This summer's ARSG show, titled Random Acts of Art, is exactly the opposite. It houses many pieces which highlight the beautiful functions of randomness. Such things as the rolling shapes of sandy hills, pockets of colourful weeds amongst grassy fields and colourful mounds of pebbeled land happily fill the canvases on the walls of the ARSG. Fuchsia, turquoise and carrot orange make their way into some of the pieces, resulting in a show that is as energetic and full of life as this sunny summer we find ourselves in now. Finally, this show suggests we look at random in a different light. It is an example of how sometimes the most unplanned, unstructured things result in the most harmonious compositions. |
