Fiona Kinsella: The Wilderness

Fiona Kinsella the wilderness Opening Reception Thursday, June 21, 7:30 p.m. Minarovich Gallery Hamilton born sculptor Fiona Kinsella uses icing sugar to create cakes: small confections decorated with teeth, skin, hair, bone, claws, seeds, dust, hat pins, rhinestones, insect wings, dental tools, bullets, etc. The combination of materials is provocative, and the resulting imagery is disturbing, humorous, and still somehow beautiful. A graduate of the University of Guelph’s School of Fine Art and Music, Kinsella says the Wilderness has more to do with ‘revelation’ or confronting the devil in the desert, than spotting a deer in the woods. Her work...

Joel Masewich: Melting Renewal

Melting Renewal May 3 - June 16 Joel Masewich's recent work has been inspired by trips to the Canadian north. In particular, seeing the moving and shifting ice has caught his imagination, and shaped the work in this exhibition. Joel has become known for large abstract paintings where intricately cut stainless steel is mounted over the canvases. Brilliant flashes of reds, and blues interact with the reflective steel. These works evoke blocks of ice heaving off glaciers, where the steel is the cold, and the vibrant reds suggest the heat. Joel's process of abstracting from nature highlights the hidden spiritual...

LinguaElastic

LinguaElastic January 11 - January 27, 2007 Opening performance: Thursday, January 11 at 7:30 p.m. Many great artists in modern history were in constant artistic and philosophical collaboration with peers in other disciplines – Stravinsky and Diaghilev, Mallarme and Modigliani, Xenakis and LeCorbusier. When artists enter discourse and work together true art is created: art that is the result of the process of communication, crosspollination, and the meeting of minds, spirits, and ideas. ‘LinguaElastic’ is a collaborative live performance piece involving spoken word poetry by Jill Battson and live electroacoustic sound art by Andrew Staniland. The development process included the...
