Admission is free. Light refreshments will be served and all are welcome.

About the exhibitions:

TROUBLEMAKERS: ANGELA GROSSMANN
Curator: Lynn Ruscheinsky, PhD
The 68 works by senior Canadian artist Angela Grossmann address the role that performance plays in the transgression of gender and social expectation, the stigma of the unruly body, and the disciplinary power of shame. Artist & Curator In Conversation: Friday, January 18, 12:30 – 1:20 pm

MICHAEL ALLGOEWER: 1514
A Meditation on Dürer’s Melencolia
Artist Talk: Thursday, February 7, 12:30-1:20 p.m.
Taking Albrecht Dürer’s 1514 print, Melencolia I as an inspiration and starting point for an installation work, Hamilton-based artist Michael Allgoewer deconstructs Dürer’s image into discrete sculptural elements; with oblique references to Judd, Johns, Kiefer and Beuys. The exhibition includes nine recent sculptural and mixed media works.

JAIME ANGELOPOULOS: OBLIQUE CHOREOGRAPHY
Curator: Ivan Jurakic
Jaime Angelopoulos is known for her spirited explorations of form and colour. Her sculptures and drawings share a complementary yet complicated relationship. On the surface, the artist wrestles with aspects of abstraction and anthropomorphism, and the works exhibit a kind of joyful exuberance, but they also operate on a deeper social and psychological level.
