Details
Join AGG’s Curator of Contemporary Art, Erin Szikora, for a tour of AGG's winter exhibitions, highlighting core artistic practices—painting and printmaking—with strong ties to our community and region. On the first floor, In Conversation: Ron Shuebrook & Frances Thomas explores the history of abstraction in painting and how both the Guelph-based Shuebrook and Barrie-based Thomas bring highly personal approaches to this long-standing artistic language. Upstairs, Prism International Printmaking brings together 37 artists from 17 countries, working across a wide range of techniques. Among those is the work of Elora-based Master Printer Stu Oxley, an educator and former instructor at the University of Guelph. These projects are complemented by Queer Print Project: Body Language, curated by Jude Akrey, Anna Gaby-Trotz, and Maeve Hind, which pairs newly screen-printed t-shirts with archival objects from The ArQuives to highlight the interconnected and intergenerational struggles queer communities continue to face.
