Shannon Bool’s recent practice takes on many forms, including tapestries, silk paintings, collages, sculptures and photograms. All gravitate around a central theme: a critique of Modernism through unconventional material processes, combined with her own interpretation of psychoanalytical concepts. By examining the flip side of modernist currents, the artist reveals repressed aesthetic influences in both visual art and architecture.

The role of architecture in controlling both bodies and behaviour is at the core of Bool’s approach, which identifies objectifying strategies used in interior design, specifically in the arrangement of niches, alcoves and sightlines within domestic spaces. This is apparent in her tapestries investigating viewpoints in the architecture of Mies van der Rohe and Le Corbusier, and her recent works of embroidered floor plans by Adolf Loos and Carlo Molino. In
other tapestries and photograms, she complicates Le Cobusier’s Plan Obus, aimed at transforming Algiers into a modern imperial capital, by revealing its underlying phantasmal character. Using superimposition, she connects his architectural drawings with his erotic drawings and orientalist postcards widely circulated at the time, suggesting that one could have informed the other. Finally, her silk paintings confound our expectations by mixing ideas of softness and sensuality with the rigidity and flatness of the modernist grid reminiscent of architectural façades.

This exhibition is produced by the Musée d’art de Joliette in partnership with the Agnes Etherington Art Centre. Iterations of this project initiated by the Musée d’art de Joliette have been presented by the Canadian Cultural Centre in Paris, and the Kunstverein Braunschweig in Braunschweig. We thank the Canada Council for the Arts for their support.

 Curated by Anne-Marie St-Jean Aubre, Curator of Contemporary Art, Musée d’art de Joliette with Sunny Kerr, Curator of Contemporary Art, Agnes Etherington Art Centre

A special blend of wicked libidinal affects—exploring the quivering line between perfection and abjection—is one result of Chantal Rousseau’s chosen medium mashup: painstakingly detailed watercolours transmuted into animated GIFs. If you’re probing the values and speeds of contemporary attention like Rousseau is, these are the perfect vehicle. In this exhibition the lascivious torpor of snails is balanced by a brigade of plucky unsung characters, such as squirrels doing fitness training. The artist’s bio describes her practice in this way: “Playing off fleeting internet obsessions and subcultures, she intertwines humour and the macabre and makes feminism sexy.” She currently resides in Kingston, Ontario.

Garden Studies draws wide linkages between the gardening proclivities of Agnes Etherington, artistic depictions of plants and flowers from the Agnes collections and Kingston’s colonial architecture and prison cultures. By exploring the window and the garden together in a play of forms and perspectives, the curatorial team invites
viewers to reflect on thresholds between inside and outside and to visualize a sort of conceptual garden as a nurturing space for growth and relations within difference. Can a “garden” of artworks gesture to a future space for which we collectively long?

Curated by Tyler Adair, Alison Kiawenniserathe Benedict, Amit Breuer, Jed English, Peggy Fussell and Barbara Matthews, with Sunny Kerr, Curator of Contemporary Art, as part of the Screen Cultures and Curatorial Studies graduate seminar Curating in Context

Presenting some of the greatest treasures of The Bader Collection, this exhibition features both familiar favourites, such as Willem Drost’s Self-Portrait as Saint John and Lambert Doomer’s Venetian Courtesan, and exciting recent acquisitions, including a touching portrait of Rembrandt’s late-life partner, Hendrickje Stoffels, by his student Jacobus Levecq. Bringing focus to the artistic context in which Rembrandt created the mysterious Man with Arms Akimbo, we explore the diverse accomplishments of artists in Rembrandt’s adopted city of Amsterdam, the cultural capital of northern Europe, and elsewhere in the Dutch Republic. While Rembrandt and his circle captured the market for history paintings and portraits, other painters carved a niche in landscape, genre imagery, or still life. Bringing Rembrandt’s work together with stellar paintings by rivals as well as acolytes, this exhibition celebrates creative diversity and entrepreneurship at a singular moment in the history of European art, while also celebrating the remarkable vision of Alfred and Isabel Bader in building this collection and sharing it with art lovers in Kingston and around the world. 

Curated by Dr Stephanie Dickey, Bader Chair in Northern Baroque Art at Queen’s University

MISCELLANEA – JT Winik Artist Statement

It all began with feeling blocked. Most artists experience this at some point or another and there is only one way I know of to cure that state:  abandon your intentions and do what you want.  Deciding to playversus adhering to a specific theme both inspired and released me — it always does.  I love not knowing exactly where a painting is going and although I begin with some vague idea, it’s when I stop trying to direct it that the process becomes more interactive and exciting. Letting go of expectations allows ideas to shift, faces to form, compositions to twist and surprises to happen.  

With “play” as my praxis, the only element uniting these works is that they are all painted in oil.  On canvas or panel, these paintings share no common theme, subject, or size.  Several of these works are built upon unresolved paintings of the past where some element has provided a stepping stone to something new.

Overall, Miscellanea is playful but sometimes dark, humorous but sometimes sad, and occasionally mysterious for no good reason at all. As always, it’s the audience who tells the stories.  

The Meeting by Jeff Stetson Theatre Kingston presents this powerful production depicting an imaginary meeting of two of the most important men of our modern era’s fight for civil rights: Malcolm X and Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Differing in their philosophies, but alike in their mutual respect, the two men debate their varying approaches to the same grave social problems, both prepared to die for their beliefs but neither aware of how soon their assassins bullets would await them. Starring Kingston’s own Cassel Miles, Paul Smith and Johnny Jordan. Social distancing protocols in place, Limited Seating.

Performance and XR 2020 (PXR2020) is a Virtual Reality Symposium for Canadian artists and XR technologists, exploring creation and performance in XR. An opportunity for creators and digital content creators to come together to share discoveries and build partnerships for future collaborations, PXR2020 features series of presentations, discussions and showcases by artists, technologists and innovators in a virtual environment.

The symposium occurs over four sessions in Virtual Reality, and includes a Keynote presentation by Yelena Rachitsky, Executive Producer at Oculus Experience, and Endnote presentation by interdisciplinary artist Casey Koyczan. Canadian theatre artists will examine virtual reality, augmented reality and mixed reality (collectively known as XR) in the creation of live performance, developing and sharing strategies with industry leaders and XR Programmers. With virtual presentations of artistic works by Electric Company Theatre, Single Thread Theatre, Jo Jack et John and others, PXR2020 aims to foster creative experimentation with these emerging mediums in dialogue with the IT sector.

Registration opens on August 4, 2020, online at www.performanceandxr.com

Shannon Bool’s recent practice takes on many forms, including tapestries, silk paintings, collages, sculptures and photograms. All gravitate around a central theme: a critique of Modernism through unconventional material processes, combined with her own interpretation of psychoanalytical concepts. By examining the flip side of modernist currents, the artist reveals repressed aesthetic influences in both visual art and architecture.

The role of architecture in controlling both bodies and behaviour is at the core of Bool’s approach, which identifies objectifying strategies used in interior design, specifically in the arrangement of niches, alcoves and sightlines within domestic spaces. This is apparent in her tapestries investigating viewpoints in the architecture of Mies van der Rohe and Le Corbusier, and her recent works of embroidered floor plans by Adolf Loos and Carlo Molino. In
other tapestries and photograms, she complicates Le Cobusier’s Plan Obus, aimed at transforming Algiers into a modern imperial capital, by revealing its underlying phantasmal character. Using superimposition, she connects his architectural drawings with his erotic drawings and orientalist postcards widely circulated at the time, suggesting that one could have informed the other. Finally, her silk paintings confound our expectations by mixing ideas of softness and sensuality with the rigidity and flatness of the modernist grid reminiscent of architectural façades.

This exhibition is produced by the Musée d’art de Joliette in partnership with the Agnes Etherington Art Centre. Iterations of this project initiated by the Musée d’art de Joliette have been presented by the Canadian Cultural Centre in Paris, and the Kunstverein Braunschweig in Braunschweig. We thank the Canada Council for the Arts for their support.

A special blend of wicked libidinal affects—exploring the quivering line between perfection and abjection—is one result of Chantal Rousseau’s chosen medium mashup: painstakingly detailed watercolours transmuted into animated GIFs. If you’re probing the values and speeds of contemporary attention like Rousseau is, these are the perfect vehicle. In this exhibition the lascivious torpor of snails is balanced by a brigade of plucky unsung characters, such as squirrels doing fitness training. The artist’s bio describes her practice in this way: “Playing off fleeting internet obsessions and subcultures, she intertwines humour and the macabre and makes feminism sexy.” She currently resides in Kingston, Ontario.

Garden Studies draws wide linkages between the gardening proclivities of Agnes Etherington, artistic depictions of plants and flowers from the Agnes collections and Kingston’s colonial architecture and prison cultures. By exploring the window and the garden together in a play of forms and perspectives, the curatorial team invites
viewers to reflect on thresholds between inside and outside and to visualize a sort of conceptual garden as a nurturing space for growth and relations within difference. Can a “garden” of artworks gesture to a future space for which we collectively long?

Curated by Tyler Adair, Alison Kiawenniserathe Benedict, Amit Breuer, Jed English, Peggy Fussell and Barbara Matthews, with Sunny Kerr, Curator of Contemporary Art, as part of the Screen Cultures and Curatorial Studies graduate seminar Curating in Context

Presenting some of the greatest treasures of The Bader Collection, this exhibition features both familiar favourites, such as Willem Drost’s Self-Portrait as Saint John and Lambert Doomer’s Venetian Courtesan, and exciting recent acquisitions, including a touching portrait of Rembrandt’s late-life partner, Hendrickje Stoffels, by his student Jacobus Levecq. Bringing focus to the artistic context in which Rembrandt created the mysterious Man with Arms Akimbo, we explore the diverse accomplishments of artists in Rembrandt’s adopted city of Amsterdam, the cultural capital of northern Europe, and elsewhere in the Dutch Republic. While Rembrandt and his circle captured the market for history paintings and portraits, other painters carved a niche in landscape, genre imagery, or still life. Bringing Rembrandt’s work together with stellar paintings by rivals as well as acolytes, this exhibition celebrates creative diversity and entrepreneurship at a singular moment in the history of European art, while also celebrating the remarkable vision of Alfred and Isabel Bader in building this collection and sharing it with art lovers in Kingston and around the world.

Drawing in Reverse for Beginners

When: Saturday, November 14th 10 am – 1 pm

Explore drawing in reverse with Tiina Kukkonen in the Malting Tower! In this workshop you will learn to observe and render light and shadow in reverse. This means adding in the light areas instead of dark, using white pencil on black paper. Applying this method, you will practice drawing fur and move toward creating a luminous and high contrast portrait of an animal. Suitable for youth, adults and seniors. Ages 12 . All materials provided, including reference images.

Tiina Kukkonen is a visual artist, arts educator, and doctoral candidate in the Faculty of Education at Queen’s University. Although formally trained in painting and drawing, Tiina has focused the last three years on needle felting. She approaches felted landscapes much like painting whereby colours are combined and layered to achieve visual effects. As an arts educator and researcher, she has taught visual arts to students of all ages and advocates for equal access to arts education opportunities for rural and underserved communities. Learn more at: http://tiina.kukkonen.ca.

Registration required. Class size is limited to accommodate physical distancing measures. Students will be required to complete a self-assessment form prior to the class. Masks must be worn within the building at all times. Please wash and sanitize hands regularly, and maintain physical distancing.
