June 17 — August 17, 2020

Next Door
is a temporary art exhibition in the Skeleton Park neighbourhood
featuring original works of art by local artists dispersed throughout
the area. Installations may be seen by the public from a safe distance
outside of homes, through windows, and in the natural elements as they
make their way through the Skeleton Park neighbourhood.

The project is a collaborative effort between the Skeleton Park Arts
Festival and the Union Gallery and acts as a response to the current and
ever-shifting moment we find ourselves facing in relation to public
health. Next Door
emphasizes the hyperlocal—celebrating and making public practices of
“next-door neighbour” artists. The project addresses recent changes we
are all adapting to, including staying at home, spending an increased
amount of time wandering around our neighbourhoods, and coping with the
lack of communal gatherings. Next Door
aims to bring artmaking and viewing together as a form of supporting
mental health and community building during an unprecedented moment of
extreme isolation. The project also responds to the current inability to
open galleries’ doors, and encourages community engagement with art in
an open space, within a safe distance and at one’s own pace.

Artists featured in Next Door
include Chantal Rousseau, Kathleen Sellars, Francisco Corbett, Diane
Black, Jocelyn Purdie, Dave Gordon, Erika Olson, Simon Andrew, Marney
McDiarmid Grace MacDonald, Kilombo, ck nosun, Don Maynard, Jan Allen
Cheryl Pagurek, Matt Rogalsky, Corcoran Peppley Josh Lyon, and
Maureen Sheridan.

mental health and community building during an unprecedented moment of
extreme isolation. The project also responds to the current inability to
open galleries’ doors, and encourages community engagement with art in
an open space, within a safe distance and at one’s own pace.

Artists featured in Next Door
include Chantal Rousseau, Kathleen Sellars, Francisco Corbett, Diane
Black, Jocelyn Purdie, Dave Gordon, Erika Olson, Simon Andrew, Marney
McDiarmid Grace MacDonald, Kilombo, ck nosun, Don Maynard, Jan Allen
Cheryl Pagurek, Matt Rogalsky, Corcoran Peppley Josh Lyon, and
Maureen Sheridan.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.  

Art Hive @Agnes is online! Join us for this popular program using our virtual platform. Adults (18 ) will be invited to explore the artistic process through experimentation and play. If you are looking for more guidance, our art therapist and facilitator will be present to support your creative journey by offering inspired thematic projects. Art Hive @Agnes will address themes of empowerment, wellness and self-care, while fostering a safe space and a sense of community. No artistic experience is necessary. This accessible program is free for all adults.

This program is made possible through the generous support of the Birks Family Foundation.

Presented virtually as part of Culture Days Canada, Agnes Etherington Art Centre welcomes those working in art and wellness, and those looking to learn more, to a supportive and safe environment for learning about the transformative potential of the arts within communities. Experts in the fields of community building, social prescriptions, creativity, museum wellness, craft and Indigenous practice will address innovative art and wellness programs and engagements in practice across museums, hospitals, art studios and community gathering spaces.

“Crafting Empathy, Stitch by Stitch” with Savneet Talwar 

This talk will briefly address the history of craft and fabrication and the role it can play in building community, promoting wellbeing, and skill sharing. Exploring an ethics of care methodology, the act of making and doing will be explored to illustrate the radical nature of crafting both as an individual art practice, and a means for public dialogue. 

“engAGE Living Lab Digital Era Response: (ELLDER): Fostering Online Networks of Care and Connection”  with Janis Timm-Bottos 

When a global pandemic turned our collective Art Hives Network upside down, it offered a chance to learn from important, yet neglected perspectives. This presentation will share a new online research platform called, ELLDER: engAGE Living Lab Digital Era Response, offering practical methods, including online Art Hives, citizen-led Science Shops, and an emerging university-community research exchange, in order to collectively respond to urgent social, environmental, and existential determinants of health.

“Play for Creativity and Wellbeing” with Eve Blouin 

In this evidence-based talk, participants will learn that creativity is a process with distinct stages, and that each stage of this process can be used as a tool for wellbeing. We will explore the creative process through the psychology of play as play allows for a curious, non-judgmental exploration of the self.

“Thing Provocations” with Allison Morehead

Allison will discuss how she has used a playful practice of “thing provocations” in both art museums and medical museums. Rooted in avant-garde art practices such as Dada and Fluxus, “thing provocations” animate new conversations, new encounters, and new relationalities among people, spaces, and things, including things designated and not designated as art. 

“The Physician as an Artist” with Max Montalvo

 Gesture drawing can be used as an innovative arts-based method for medical trainees to help develop a more holistic approach to clinical medicine and to deepen the physician’s appreciation of patient experiences.
