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.

SUMMARY:Summer Season Exhibitions Launch
DESCRIPTION:You are invited! Join us Thursday\, June 13 at 6:30 pm\, for the launch of the Art Gallery of Guelph’s summer season featuring three exhibitions: Yours in Native Spirit: Richard Bedwash\, Catherine Chan: Fractures and Fragments\, and What Remains. All three exhibitions address ideas and issues that are exceptionally timely – from the work of Richard Bedwash\, the Anishinaabe artist tied to murals that remain at risk within the aging structure of the abandoned Guelph Correctional Centre\, to Catherine Chan’s engagement with questions of the Anthropocene\, and the work in What Remains that draws attention to the humanitarian crisis playing out on the southern border of the United States. \nAccessible parking and a limited number of free parking spots are available in the lot beside and behind the gallery with an entrance off Gordon Street\, just north of College Avenue. Additional parking is available in the University of Guelph campus parking lot P23 with access from College Avenue and MacDonald Street. \nImage detail: Richard Bedwash\, Sweat Lodge\, 1977\, acrylic on canvas.

SUMMARY:Walking as Remapping: Night Walk in the Moth Garden
DESCRIPTION:Join the artists for a nighttime walk to the garden under the full moon where participants will spend time observing the vibrant world active during the nighttime as well as their own sensory responses to the night. Guided by the artists\, participants will explore how to shift their sensory perception\, and consider how other beings\, like moths\, sense the world. \nParticipants will meet in the parking lot and the walk to the garden is about 15 minutes along a gravel roadway with mowed grass paths which have some uneven surfaces and slight to moderate inclines. Because the garden and walk involve encounters with other beings in their own sensory worlds\, please avoid the use of insect repellants and other scented products. Bug suits will be available\, or you are welcome to bring your own. We also recommend wearing long sleeves. \nPlease check your email in the afternoon if the weather looks ominous as we will be in touch as soon as possible if we plan to reschedule. We are tentatively holding June 23 at 9:00 pm as a rain date. Otherwise\, we will be outside for the program and so encourage you to dress for the weather with comfortable footwear for walking. Bring your curiosity\, creativity\, and a sense of adventure! \nThis event is presented by the Art Gallery of Guelph in partnership with the Department of Geography and School of English and Theatre Studies with the support of the University of Guelph Wellness@Work program. \nRegister now: https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/walking-as-remapping-night-walk-in-the-moth-garden-tickets-917049127627?aff=oddtdtcreator  \nImage detail: Lisa Hirmer and Christina Kingsbury\, Moth Garden\, 2023\, materials variable.
