Exhibitions in the main gallery –

Kate Wilson | Curious Lights.
Curious Lights is an exhibition of several large-scale wall drawings by Toronto artist Kate Wilson. For the past several years Wilson has focused on large-scale drawing installations in an attempt to work toward a new kind of notional intimacy that includes degraded visual conventions while inscribing an array of catastrophic imagery. She incorporates a range of visual references, from architectural plans, botanical and molecular forms to iconic imagery from pop culture. These organic and industrial materials shape the form and content of her drawings. Wilson has exhibited nationally and internationally and is the recipient of many awards from the Toronto Arts Council, Ontario Arts Council and the Canada Council for the Arts.

Exhibitions in the project room –

Lynne Wynick | Windsock, Cubism and Kingston.
Lynne Wynick offers another interpretation of scale and location through small photo-based works. In this current work, Wynick investigates through drawings, models and photographs of the models, a windsock found on the RC Harris Filtration Plant in Toronto. A constant in all her work is the sequential and a ricochet of ideas. This exhibition will be of particular interest to Kingstonians as she plans to incorporate aspects of Kingston architecture and history into the works. Wynick is a Toronto-based artist. Her work is represented in a number of private, corporate and public gallery collections in Canada and the U.S. Her multiples are represented by Art Metropole, Toronto. She is co-founder and co-director of the Wynick/Tuck Gallery, Toronto.

Supporters: Queen's University, the AMS and SGPS at Queen's University, the City of Kingston and the Kingston Arts Council.

Sales proceeds will be donated to WaterCan, a leading Canadian charity dedicated to helping the world's poorest gain access to clean water. Funds raised will assist in the building of wells in the Wakiso district of Uganda thus saving women and girls from walking several kilometers each day to collect water from contaminated sources. Most importantly, children will stand a better chance to survive their early years when they are most vulnerable to water-borne diseases.

Exhibitions & Events -

Louis Helbig: Beautiful Destruction – Alberta Tar Sands Aerial Photographs.
Louis Helbig's aerial images teeter between documentary and abstract. The tension between their beauty and what they represent – the man-made alteration and destruction of a landscape – stimulates both thought and imagination. The Alberta Tar Sands are a place of superlatives where exaggeration of scale and proportion seems almost impossible. This exhibition is one outcome of a 2008 aerial cross-country journey the photographer and his partner Kristin Reimer embarked on in their antique aircraft, a 1946 Luscombe.

Melting the True North – Susan Feindel and Paul Walde, with scientist Dr. Gita Laidler. Curated by Petra Halkes. Science and art are linked in this exhibition by a shared respect for the North, as a lived reality rather than an abstract idea. After separate journeys to Northern Canada and Norway, artists Susan Feindel and Paul Walde created artworks that show the fragility of the natural elements that make up the Arctic landscape. Dr. Gita Laidler's images reflect her experiences in collaborative sea ice research with a number of Inuit communities and environmental scientists.
