SUMMARY:ODYSSEY: Kelly Richardson
DESCRIPTION:ODYSSEY: Kelly Richardson\nJune 14 – August 11\, 2024\nWeaving myth and metaphor with scientific research and digital technologies\, Kelly Richardson: Odyssey invites visitors on a journey through time and space in order to reflect on the present – through three large-scale video works. Origin Stories (2023) visualises the current extinction crisis through a seemingly endless field of diamond-like crystals\, each of which represents a species lost to resource extraction and climate change. The HALO trilogy (2021) looks to a fiery moon for signs of the conditions we now face after decades of insufficient action. Finally\, Pillars of Dawn (2019) brings viewers back to Earth\, now hundreds of years in the future\, as crystals blanket the planet in a beautiful but chilling representation of cumulative loss of complex life. Together\, these three works ask visitors to consider what we truly value\, raising an urgent call for humanity to responsibly reconnect with our living planet while time remains.

SUMMARY:Chapters Now Through Four: Tracy Root
DESCRIPTION:Chapters Now Through Four: Tracy Root\nApril 5 – June 2\, 2024\nBorn in Shrewsbury\, England\, Tracy Root arrived in Chatham-Kent just before the COVID pandemic. Impacted by the isolation she was experiencing\, she quickly adapted to the area’s surroundings\, instinctively painting its fields and fauna. With her trademark use of expressive symbolism\, she creates images resonant with personal iconography and psychology\, this retrospective suggests the incredible commitment and production this artist has achieved throughout her career. Now living with Stage 4 cancer\, “Chapters Now Through Four” reflects a life fully committed to the pursuit of painting\, and an artistic trajectory that lands firmly in the present.

SUMMARY:The Fabrication of Stars and of Family: Elizabeth Downey
DESCRIPTION:The Fabrication of Stars and of Family: Elizabeth Downey\nMarch 13 – May 11\, 2024\nElizabeth Downey’s mixed media paintings span time and space through the inclusion of quilting squares salvaged from a dusty box in an attic.

SUMMARY:FRAGILE: Handle with Care
DESCRIPTION:FRAGILE: Handle with Care\nJanuary 26 – March 24\, 2024\nThis exhibition explores issues of fragility and preservation in the artworks of the Thames Art Gallery’s Permanent Collection. From there\, however\, it also delves into how historical and contemporary artists alike explore the experience of fragility in their practice.

SUMMARY:The Blue Afar: Amanda McCavour
DESCRIPTION:The Blue Afar: Amanda McCavour\nJanuary 26 – March 24\, 2024\nArtist Amanda McCavour uses thread to create sublime installations of embroidered objects in space. Her fantastical\, dreamlike environments consider the play of light on matter and the peculiarities of the natural world. In Far Away Blue Fields\, McCavour permeates our visual field with a cloudburst of blooming flowers hung from the gallery’s ceiling by tiny thread. Affixed to the wall\, The Horizon\, the Ocean\, the Sky features a gathering of leaves\, weeds\, birds\, and bees that read like an immense biological archive. Both installations speculate on the colour blue. Not only is our physical environment composed of blue things like water\, gemstones\, minerals\, and flora but blue is also associated with the textures of the humancondition. In McCavour’s work\, it is used to express the infinitesimal breadth of our emotions and shapes our relationship to the earth and sky above.

SUMMARY:Skids\, Skips and Prints: Lowell Bradshaw
DESCRIPTION:Skids\, Skips and Prints: Lowell Bradshaw\nNovember 3\, 2023 – January 14\, 2024\nLowell Bradshaw pushes digital and information into new forms of visual possibilities. By manipulating images drawn from electronic media within the field of painting\, the spaces he creates open multiple discursive readings and a contextual tension that oscillates between cohesion and erasure. As importantly\, perhaps\, the artist enlists the pleasure of looking to animate the work\, as he presents a practice rooted in discourse\, contemplation\, and craftsmanship.

SUMMARY:Mind Field
DESCRIPTION:Mind Field: Lesley McInally\, Darlene Pratt\, Dushka Vujovic\, Andrea Vuletin\nArt Opening: ARTcrawl June 16\, 2023 | Reception 8:00-9:00pm | Event 5:00-10:00pm \nDeep Southwest Performance in Studio One 9:00-10:00pm \nJune 16 – August 13\, 2023\nMind Field contains the work of four artists\, Lesley McInally\, Darlene Pratt\, Dushka Vujovic and Andrea Vuletin. Together\, they share a camaraderie that crystalized through the course of the pandemic. As anxiety and isolation took root\, so too did the opportunity to reinvest in new pathways and methods within their studio practices. From struggles against social alienation\, emphasis on safeguarding personal perimeters\, emotional exhaustion\, and a desire to tell the stories behind liminal social spaces\, these artists collectively present work that is committed to the personal and motivated by renewal.

SUMMARY:the signs appear as in aspic: Kim Neudorf
DESCRIPTION:the signs appear as in aspic: Kim Neudorf\nArt Opening: ARTcrawl June 16\, 2023 | Reception 8:00-9:00pm | Event 5:00-10:00pm \nDeep Southwest Performance in Studio One 9:00-10:00pm \nJune 16 – August 14\, 2023\nIn the signs appear as in aspic\, horror-adjacent\, cinematic imagery is reimagined as transgressive access to queer and trans embodiment through processes of collage and painting. Alluding to the hapless protagonists in the Daphne Du Maurier gothic novel and 1973 film version of Don’t Look Now\, the exhibition’s title refers to a failure to notice warnings of future events as left by more psychically connected past selves. These warnings are “not threatening to those who cannot read the signs\,” but for those who can\, the signs appear as “in aspic.” Relating this premise to their own work and life\, Neudorf asks: What is needed to be known and seen as a queer and trans subject\, what conditions of visibility are necessary in that being knownness\, and what tools – built out of necessity and survival – have been left in the present by a self (or selves) from the past?

SUMMARY:Tether
DESCRIPTION:Tether\nApril 6 – June 4\, 2023\nThe often invisible work of caregiving is constant and undervalued. Tether explores narratives of motherhood and correlated themes\, including artwork by April Hickox\, Natasha Lan\, Jennifer Long\,Kelly O’Brien\, Theola Ross\, Arpita Shah\, and Jessica Wohl. This group brings together parents of toddlers\, children with disabilities\, and school-aged youth\, who have actively explored their personal experiences of being or becoming a parent within their practice.

Interweaving themes relating to the experience of time\, visibility\, intimacy and memory\, these artists examine their relationships with parenting and their larger connection to the world in which we live.

SUMMARY:The Floating World
DESCRIPTION:The Floating World\nJanuary 27 – March 26\, 2023\nExemplifying the influence of Japenese Culture on the development of modernism in the West\, TAG’s collection of Ukiyo-e prints was assembled by artist/educator Hortense Gordon. She used these prints to illustrate modernist principles\, but Ukiyo-e continues to hold significant influence over contemporary culture. Their engagement with craftsmanship\, disregard for hieracrchy in matters of medium\, and their embrace of popular subject matters combine to create a nodal point as we continue our transition into the digital age including the current fascination with anime.

SUMMARY:What Lays Beneath: Leonard Jubenville
DESCRIPTION:What Lays Beneath: Leonard Jubenville\nJanuary 27 – March 26\, 2023\nFrom the first\, thin layer of glazed oil paint to the last\, Leonard Jubenville has built a celebrated career by taking us just beyond the surface of the seen. Optical plays of light elicit volumes of crisp\, clear air. Glassy surfaces of water hide the depts we know to be there. With an irrepressible delight in colour and composition\, it is through the unmarred surfaces of his paintings that the viewer is ultimately transported beyond the material to experience the world anew. Whether Jubenville turns his eye to the common objects of daily life\, the picturesque expanse of the landscape\, or its steady evolution into the Anthropocene\, there is something equally beautiful and unsettling uncanny about his vision.
