SUMMARY:Choice and Chance
DESCRIPTION:Nancy MacNabb of Guelph and Patrice Baker of Fergus are teaming together for a show of acrylic and mixed media abstract art held at Headwaters Arts Gallery in Alton\, Ontario\, just south of Orangeville. See large and small artistic pieces that engage viewers by emotion and curiosity\, by the heart and the mind. Celebrate with the artists how happenstance becomes one ready and even necessary art-making tool – when chance\, such as found objects and spontaneous brushstrokes\, joins choice\, such as thoughtful planning – in the creation of unique beauty.

SUMMARY:Big Ideas Lecture and Exhibition Launch: What Remains
DESCRIPTION:Launching the ArtsEverywhere festival organized and presented by Musagetes\, join the artists of the El Paso-based What Remains Collective (Dr. Adriana Alvarez\, Iris Morales\, Mabel Weber\, and Monica Lozano) for a guided conversation about documenting the stories of immigrant families as well as the belongings abandoned by individuals over the course of attempts to cross the political border into the United States. \nThe conversation will be followed by an opening reception for the collective’s exhibition What Remains at the Art Gallery of Guelph\, that brings together photography\, video\, and La Trenza – an evolving installation that braids together the belongings and stories of humans in transit\, immigrants\, asylum seekers\, displaced families\, men\, women\, and children who have experienced the journey of crossing a border\, from the heavily militarized to the nearly invisible. Representing individual experiences through the objects they carry with them\, this piece is made of materials recovered from the desert of Ciudad Juarez that were found half buried. \nImage detail: Monica Lozano\, The Cemetery\, 2022\, detail\, digital photograph.

SUMMARY:Artworks Gallery Guelph: The Space Between Art Show.
DESCRIPTION:ARTWORKS GALLERY GUELPH \n404 YORK ROAD \nGUELPH\,  ONTARIO \nMAY 6 – JULY 7\, 2024 \nWhat is “the space between”? For some it’s the distance between two objects. For others\, it’s the concept of negative space. And for yet others\, it’s the emotional distance between two people. Drop by Artworks Gallery Guelph (404 York Road) to see how our gallery artists have explored this theme. Patti Collins is presenting her sculptures in light along with highly textured abstract paintings. Scenes of nature and waterscapes have captured the imagination of chalk pastel artist\, Suzanne Wakefield. Nancy Farrell ‘s dramatic abstracts create splashes of colour and movement\, with themes of   outer space and bucolic forest paths. Sharyn Seibert has pushed boundaries by creating a glass and canvas installation as well as reminisces around travel and beloved countries.  We are also excited to showcase the work of Kate Rogers\, our Featured Artist who has installed a series of 6 paintings that investigate her development from childhood beliefs to a present reality of confidence and artistic fervour. This collection  has been one of the most challenging shows to date and we’d love for you to visit.  We are open daily from 10am to 4pm. \n

SUMMARY:Xuan Ye: I OWNED\, A TONGUE
DESCRIPTION:Xuan Ye: I OWNED\, A TONGUE\nMay 25th – June 22nd\, 2024 \nEd Video Media Arts Centre \n404 York Rd\, Guelph\, ON N1E 3H4 \nHours: Monday\, Tuesday\, Thursday and Friday\, 10 am – 5 pm \n\nOpening Reception:  Saturday\, May 25th\, 2024\, from 2 pm – 4 pm\, Ed Video Media Arts Centre\, 404 York Rd\, Guelph\, ON N1E 3H4 \nJoint Launch: A Cyberarchaeology of Checkpoints and EveryLetterCyborg Bites: \nSaturday\, June 8th\, 2024\, from 2 pm – 4 pm\, Art Metropole\, 896 College Street\, Toronto\, ON M6H 1A4 \nArtist Statement\nI OWNED\, A TONGUE is about hacking the alphabetic writing apparatus as a technology in an algorithmic narration of cybernetic feedback and data economies. In the exhibition\, the software writes on its own\, interfaces invite you to decipher and gesture\, neon signs emit ringing sounds while scrolling antonym pairs\, and speech voices are indigestible data that insist on unlearning. Six works of digital poetry\, that are six modes of perceptual rerouting\, synthesize unstable and untranslatable signifiers that confuse yet connect us. Meanings dangle in the collective dreams we are all in\, where networked machines relay signals from the other side of reality. Lost tongues are found anew as contexts are displaced\, detached\, and divinated from their normalized mundane. \nAbout EveryLetterCyborg Bites Artist Multiple (Edition of 100)\nEveryLetterCyborg Bites are toothy fortune cookies offering cryptic divinations in camouflage as heteroglossia. Each bite is one message that is one tweet from the Twitter bot @qletrcyborg (2018 – 2022). Each tweet contains words sourced from Donna Haraway’s A Cyborg Manifesto (1985) as its corpus. Each message is encrypted with a word randomly generated from an online database of English dictionaries. Each bite casts a post-cyberfeminist spell\, enchanting the already predicted fortune with the allure of data noise and indeterministic codes. \n  \n \nAbout the Artists and Contributors\nXuan Ye 叶轩 works across art\, music and technology. X is interested in making noise as a generative space to evoke the dissonant\, untranslatable and illegible within more-than-human entanglements. They often involve improvisation\, computation and fiction to compose software\, images\, installations\, performances and editions. Their work has appeared at the MOCA Toronto\, UCCA Center for Contemporary Art (Shanghai)\, Venice Architecture Biennale\, Peer to Space (Berlin)\, MUTEK Montreal\, Art Gallery of Ontario\, and Goethe-Institut (Beijing)\, among others. Their multifaceted practice has been featured and reviewed in Canadian Art (Winter 2020)\, ArtAsiaPacific(Issue. 111)\, KUNSTFORUM (Bd. 257)\, Musicworks (Issue. 136)\, and Bandcamp Daily (Best Experimental Albums). \nMujie Li is an experimental writer and a doctoral researcher of digital media and culture at the University of Sussex (United Kingdom). Her research explores how literary aspects (such as writing\, reading\, text and language) in digital and computational technological conditions work together to shape digital aesthetics. She is the author of the novella Mirage Time (2017\, published by Dostoyevsky Wannabe)\, and the article On Digital Aesthetics: Sense-Data and Atmospheric Language (2023\, published by Electronic Book Review). \nJason Doell is vital to Canada’s experimental music/sound community. His interdisciplinary practice includes site/context-specific works\, live coding\, and signal-chain manipulation. Doell has created several significant works\, including “Beneath a Landscape”\, a 30-minute subway piece commissioned by INTERsection festival (CA)\, the interactive online work “TURNONANDBENOTALONE” presented by Music Gallery (CA)\, and the algorithmic piece “tbtastiuth” commissioned by MaerzMusik (DE). Doell has worked with international artists such as Quatuor Bozzini\, Continuum Contemporary Music\, Pulitzer Prize-winner Raven Chacon\, and legendary guitarist John Dieterich. Doell’s new album\, Becoming In Shadows ~ Of Being Touched\, was released on American imprint Whited Sepulchre. \nExhibition Catalogue\nDownload here. \nAccessibility \nOn the side of the 404 York Rd building\, there is an accessible ramp that leads to the building’s back door.
