SUMMARY:Opening Reception Paul Nadeau: Gravel is the New Gold
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the launch of the exhibition Gravel is the New Gold\, featuring the work of artist Paul Nadeau. Drawing together the visual language of cottage-country ephemera with references to practices of measuring\, mapping\, and surveying\, Nadeau’s hyperreal paintings incorporate trompe l’oeil to underscore a certain perception of the Canadian wilderness that has both depended on and accelerated the continuous dispossession of Indigenous lands for resource extraction and leisure. \nThis exhibition represents the culmination of two years of focused work in the University of Guelph’s Master of Fine Arts program. The Art Gallery of Guelph’s annual exhibitions of graduating MFA students are presented in conjunction with the School of Fine Art and Music at the University of Guelph.

SUMMARY:hot dreams - Opening Reception
DESCRIPTION:hot dreams brings together the work of Ardyn Gibbs and Eli Nolet\, two emerging trans and non binary artists exploring queer affect through new media and materiality. Queer desire\, safety\, memory\, joy\, and visibility exist as throughlines in these works that reach for physical spaces of queer belonging/gathering that have for some only existed as a fantasy or imagining. Employing both physical and digital material references to objects such as chains\, metal piercings\, and the reflective sheen reminiscent of that cast by leather or latex\, the works in hot dreams refer to the queer body – or rather the absence of queer bodies.

SUMMARY:hot dreams - new exhibition at Ed Video
DESCRIPTION:hot dreams \nAdryn Gibbs\, Eli Nolet \nCurated by Adrien Crossman \nJuly 5th – August 2nd\, 2024 \nEd Video Media Arts Centre\, 404 York Rd\, Guelph\, ON N1E 3H4 \nHours: Monday\, Tuesday\, Thursday and Friday\, 10 am – 5 pm \nOpening Reception:\nFriday\, July 5th\, 2024\, from 7 pm – 9 pm \n  \nhot dreams brings together the work of Ardyn Gibbs and Eli Nolet\, two emerging trans and non binary artists exploring queer affect through new media and materiality. Queer desire\, safety\, memory\, joy\, and visibility exist as throughlines in these works that reach for physical spaces of queer belonging/gathering that have for some only existed as a fantasy or imagining. Employing both physical and digital material references to objects such as chains\, metal piercings\, and the reflective sheen reminiscent of that cast by leather or latex\, the works in hot dreams refer to the queer body – or rather the absence of queer bodies. \nAbout the Artists:\nEli Nolet (they/them) is a queer trans settler-Indigenous artist and arts worker from the occupied territories of the Erie\, Neutral\, Huron-Wendat\, Haudenosaunee\, and Mississaugas (otherwise known as hamilton\, ontario). Eli’s practice explores identity and selfhood through new media activations of static image and text work. Across their practice\, Eli is interested in investigating the many layered histories of queer culture and desire\, and questioning the binaries of visible/invisible\, normative/transgressive. \nArdyn Gibbs (they/them) is a queer and trans\, settler-Indigenous (Mohawk) artist and arts worker located on the territories of the Haudenosaunee\, Anishnaabe\, and Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation otherwise known as Hamilton\, ON. Using digital new media technologies Ardyn’s work explores themes of queer futurism\, digital dreaming\, and visibility/legibility of queer bodies in public spaces. Ardyn is passionate about collective dreaming\, placekeeping\, and fostering meaningful connections. \nAdrien Crossman (they/them) is a queer and non-binary white settler artist\, educator\, and curator currently residing on the traditional territory of the Haudenosaunee and Anishinaabe in so called Hamilton\, Ontario. They hold an MFA in Visual Art from the University of Windsor (2018)\, and a BFA in Integrated Media with a Minor in Digital and Media Studies from OCAD University (2012). Crossman is interested in the affective qualities of queerness\, investigating how queerness can be felt through specific aesthetics and sensibilities. Adrien co-founded and co-runs the online arts publication off centre and is an Assistant Professor in the School of the Arts at McMaster University. \nAccessibility\nOn the side of the 404 York Rd building\, there is an accessible ramp that leads to the building’s back door. Head straight through the hall to reach Ed Video’s side door. Parking is available along the side of the building. The parking spot closest to the ramp is reserved for those with accessibility needs. Note that parking spots near other buildings in the area are not publicly available spots. \nAcknowledgement\nFounded in 1976\, Ed Video Media Arts Centre is a charitable artist-run centre\, whose mission is to foster the creation\, exhibition\, and appreciation of media arts.Ed Video is situated on the traditional lands of the Attawandaron\, Anishinaabek\, and Haudenosaunee Peoples and the treaty lands of the Mississaugas of the Credit.

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.
