SUMMARY:Teresa Duryea Wong speaks at Royal City Quilters Guild
DESCRIPTION:Virtual Meeting\n\n\nJapan 2.0\n\n\n\n\nMeet the Next Gen of Japanese quilt artists. Japan’s history and cultural norms set very clear rules for who is and who is not considered a Master\, and this lecture will explain why\, and how\, that happens. But in the Japan 2.0 universe\, there is a community of quilters for the 21st century who are operating outside the rigid cultural lines of the traditional Master/Student relationship. They are creating original\, modern quilts with a global eye while still managing to reference the Japanese aesthetic. \n\n\nTeresa’s Bio\nTeresa Duryea Wong is an author\, lecturer\, and quilt historian. She is the author of Sewing & Survival: Native American Quilts from 1880 – 2022\, and five additional books covering Japanese quilts and textiles\, American quilts and cotton\, and quilts for social justice. She is a contributing writer for Quiltfolk. Teresa is a member of the International Quilt Museum advisory board and the Quilt Alliance board. She has been recognized as a scholar by the Visions Museum of Textile Art in San Diego and the Texas Quilt Museum. Her lectures are popular with American quilt guilds\, and she is invited regularly to lecture at the annual Quiltcon and International Quilt Festival events. She is also a quiltmaker and antique quilt collector. \nTeresa’s website: https://TeresaDuryeaWong.com \nVisit https://rcqg.square.site to purchase a $10 guest pass. You may credit this purchase towards your membership fee later.

SUMMARY:Science on Tap: Stitching Science

Scientific topics ranging from Atom to Zenith come to life at the end of Lauren’s skilled needle\, and lively text by Keltie Thomas explains key concepts. \nLauren and Keltie will discuss their journey in creating this fabulous book and it wouldn’t be a true STEAM event (science\, technology\, engineering\, ART\, and mathematics) without the opportunity to unleash our inner artists with some hands-on fun! All this plus beer\, food\, laughs\, and trivia … join us! \nOur good friends from the Bookshelf will be on hand selling copies of the book and both Lauren & Keltie will be happy to sign yours for you. \nSession will begin shortly after 7 pm – seating is first-come-first-served.

SUMMARY:In Conversation with Susan Mogul
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an engaging conversation with pioneering video artist Susan Mogul\, who will discuss her 1997 video I Stare at You and Dream\, featured in AGG’s exhibition Do You Remember Love\, as well as her wider practice. Known for intertwining autobiography with documentary strategies\, Mogul’s work often explores themes of family\, relationships\, and identity through a deeply personal lens. \nFilmed in Mogul’s Highland Park neighborhood in Los Angeles\, a predominantly working-class Latino area\, I Stare at You and Dream follows the intersecting lives of four individuals: Mogul herself; her friend\, Rosie Sanchez; Rosie’s teenage daughter\, Alejandra (Alex) Sanchez; and Ray Aguilar\, Mogul’s on-and-off boyfriend. The narrative is intimate\, intertwining familial and romantic relationships to explore how personal history shapes the present\, inviting us to consider questions of women’s identity\, family dynamics\, and the search for a sense of home. \nSusan Mogul has been involved with video since the early 1970s\, creating a foundational body of humorous and staunchly feminist performance videos before expanding into experimental narratives\, including feature-length work. Her numerous accolades include a Guggenheim Fellowship\, a National Endowment for the Arts Fellowship\, and an ITVS commission. Her work has been showcased internationally\, with a survey of her videos held at the Austrian Film Museum in Vienna in 2024\, and her first solo museum exhibition at the Zacheta National Gallery of Art in Warsaw in 2022. Other notable exhibitions include California Video at the Getty Museum\, Los Angeles: Birth of an Art Capital at the Centre Pompidou in Paris\, and Where Art Might Happen: The Early Years of CalArts at the Kunsthaus Graz. \nMogul’s work has also been discussed in X-TRA (2020)\, where “A Feminist’s Survival Index” reviews her current work within the context of feminist art history. Her career and contributions are further explored in Women of Vision: Histories in Feminist Film and Video\, where a chapter is devoted to her impactful legacy. \nRegister here.

SUMMARY:Dominque Ehrmann speaks at Royal City Quilters Guild
DESCRIPTION:Virtual Meeting\n\n\nOnce Upon a Quilt\n\n\n\n\nWith this retrospective presentation Dominique invites us into her world of creation. \nThrough a series of photos using a storytelling angle\, Dominique explains the inspiration\, and the technique behind finalized work created since 2010. \n\n\nDominique’s Bio\nDominique is a self-taught fiber artist. Quilting is her medium to tell her stories. She knows the rules\, patterns and techniques. She uses them as a mean to transport\, express\, touch and reinvent. First\, a story emerges and then it starts building up\, taking shape and growing in three dimensions. She assembles it in her head\, design it to the last detail and once ready\, she turns it into a sketch. \nSketches become paper models\, who then become patterns. With Stéphan\, her husband and accomplice\, she pushes back all limits and frontiers. Her artwork plays with the wind\, defies gravity\, invites to exploration and interaction. \nDominique’s website: https://dominiquehrmann.com/en/home/ \nVisit https://rcqg.square.site to purchase a $10 guest pass. You may credit this purchase towards your membership fee later.

Rides are about 20 minutes\, and there are usually up to four different ones to ride. Purchase cider\, hot chocolate\, coffee or cookie to enjoy as you wander around the grounds. \nWeather permitting. Tickets sold at the door. \nDates: \nDecember 7th\, 8th\, 14th\, and 15th

SUMMARY:Exhibition: Guelph\, But
DESCRIPTION:Show: December 2nd – 27th \n10C Shared Space\, 42 Carden St Guelph\, Ontario \nAvailable for viewing Monday – Friday 9am – 5pm  \nPrints available for sale\, sold through 10C Shared Space \n16 pieces on display \nOpening Reception: December 6th\, 6:30 – 8:30pm  \n\nAbout the Show:\n\n\n   Born and raised in Guelph\, I’ve lived\, played\, and wandered through every part of the city. In my adult years I got involved in digital marketing\, and in doing so I saw the kind of images people share and look for of Guelph. Do a Google image search for Guelph and you’ll find a flood of the same things: downtown\, the Basilica\, and the university.   \n   My problem is with the fact that this city is so much more than downtown or the university! I didn’t really go to the university or downtown until I was in high school. When I think of the city I think of the visuals of my childhood: playing in the creeks (see: Memories of Running)\, field trips to other schools (see: Where Is Your God Now?)\, visiting deceased family (see: Hope)\, falling asleep at the drive in (see: Mustang) and more before I even discovered the other\, popular\, visual landmarks of the city. \nI wrestled with this show in my mind in how to shoot it. Do I capture according to my memory? Should I shoot just what I see? Can I add my perspective on the history and future of the city?  Is there space for visual commentary? When I look at the collection\, I think I ended up doing all of that.   ​ \n   I want you to see Guelph\, But not just the downtown or university. This show is an invitation for you to explore the city in pictures\, to be curious about their locations\, to add your own narratives to the places\, and to go find not only the nooks that I found\, but the places that bring your own stories\, too. I give you this show as my love letter to the city.         \nYours in community\, \nTim Campbell-Smith \nSeptember 2024
