Vision and Dialogue: Jennifer Pazienza and Paul Édouard Bourque 👁️ + 💬

October 1, 2023 @ 5:00 pm – 7:00 pm

October 1, 2023 – December 31, 2023

In Vision & Dialogue seasoned artists Jennifer Pazienza and Paul Édouard Bourque celebrate the power of conversation with an exhibition that features their distinct and complementary views on painting and drawing, landscape and portraiture. At once critical and poetic, themes of identity, of explicit and implied human presence infuse their unique compositional styles. Place, friendship, and the fluidity of time punctuate the narrative threads of this dynamic duet exhibition.

Curated by Jennifer Pazienza and Paul-Édouard Bourque and organized by the Beaverbrook Art Gallery.

Amy Ash at wor

Amy Ash Workshop: Collective Regrowth and Other Possibilities 🌼

April 22, 2023 @ 1:00 pm – 3:00 pm

Amy Ash’s deeply collaborative art Perennial Bodies: Collective Regrowth and Other Possibilities is about gathering to share energy and experience, seeding ideas and positive action.

Amy Ash at work

What can we learn from the kinship of tangled roots and whispering rhizomes, the sharing of re-sources for mutual flourishing, and the vibrant re-emergence after a long winter of rest?

A curiosity-driven event, we will come together to make and document experimental artworks that engage bodies fun, safe, and unusual ways. Encircling ideas of care, natural cycles, and connectivity with the more-than-human world, this workshop will be organized less like a class and more like a collaborative art-lab.

Let’s create a safe space for play, absurdity, deep attention, and contemplation, while imagining a future where we flourish in our understanding that we are not just in the world, but of it.
If we can listen to the world deeply enough, with our whole bodies, maybe we could seep past the divisions we’ve made and become a collective body, a super-organism of sensation.

Open to all levels of art-making experience, from pro to never-crafted-before —prompts, guidance, and support will be available whenever needed.

A wide variety of painting techniques and approaches will be explored.

Artists will be encouraged to step out of their comfort zone and to take their work to places of new discovery and levels of excellence.

There will be an emphasis placed on understanding the underlying construction of all sound work. Subject matter will be up to individual artists and working from life and/or photographs will be equally encouraged. Participants are asked to arrive with a variety of possible ideas to explore. Maggie will provide prompts and suggestions for anyone interested in a more exercise-based approach. Participants will have the option to develop one piece or several pieces throughout the week.

Contemporary painters and artists of historical significance and will be discussed and incorporated into all lessons, providing inspiration throughout the week.
