Marigold Santos: MALAGINTO

November 8 – January 12, 2020
Artist Talk (ASL Translated) and Reception: November 8, 2019, 6:00pm, RPL Film Theatre

Marigold Santos’ practice explores the ways in which ideas of self-hood can become multiple, fragmented, and dislocated and then reinvented and recreated through a reflection of movement, migration and change. In particular, she returns to the memories associated with her family’s immigration from the Philippines to Canada in the late 80’s as an autobiographical point of departure, and considers the experiences of a young person coming to terms with a new sense of self in relation to their new environment. Negotiating narratives of the past and present results in the creation of a personal myth, a visual vocabulary influenced by the hybrid of Filipino and Western folktales of Santos’ early youth, the Canadian pop culture of the late 80’s and early 90’s, the science and social politics of that period, and the Canadian geography and landscape. Curated by Blair Fornwald, Curator, Moving Image and Performance. Central Gallery.

Julie Oh: Tunnel, Air, Mother

November 20 – January 26, 2020
Artist Tour and Reception: November 20, 6:30pm, Sherwood Library

Julie Oh works with photography, video, and installation to examine our understanding of, and relationships with, common objects. By questioning her selected object’s use and nature using intuitive, sometimes nonsensical approaches, Oh positions the viewer to consider the use and values of these objects in new ways. At Dunlop Art Gallery, Oh presents a new, deeply personal body of work that functions both as a portrait of her mother, and an interrogation of parenting. Curated by Jennifer Matotek, Director/Curator. Sherwood Gallery.

Hannah Claus

January 17 – March 6, 2020
Artist Talk and Reception: January 17, 6pm, RPL Film Theatre

Hannah Claus is a visual artist of English and Kanien’kehà:ka / Mohawk ancestries. Claus’ installations are built using layers of fragile materials, like thread. Her sculptures are often airy, delicate and translucent. By creating spaces that reference earth and sky, Claus emphasizes an Indigenous worldview. Claus wants audiences to consider the connections we have with each other, and the responsibilities we have to the world around us. Claus has exhibited internationally, and her work is included in various public collections. Curated by Jennifer Matotek, Director/Curator. Central Gallery.
